National League
Magnates Gather
for the Meeting
Lynch to Be Opposed for Presidency,
but it is Though He Will
Pull Through.

NEW YORK. Dec. 13-While the Eastern
league was finishing mp It's routine business
today the magnates Of the National Base
Ball league were assembling for their an
nual meeting.
The question Of tho league presidency
this year as last is the primary one for
the magnates to settle. No such long,
drawn out combat as that OF last year
was looked for however While IL was
admitted that opposition TO President
Thomas J. Lynch OF Kew Britain might
develop, there seemed little doubt of the
meeting opened today that ne would be
chosen to succeed himself. He was APP
parontly assured Of the votes OF the New
York, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Boston
clubs, with that Of Philadelphia a probable
fly. The support of four clubs would Euf-
flee for his retention, as the amended CON
stitution Of the league provides that in the
case Of deadlock the incumbent holds
over
Talk in connection with all kinds Il pro-
posed deals for players was flying about
The National commission met today and
decided two important cases. Pitcher Fer
guson of the Boston National league club
who had a contract which stipulated that
II he won half the games he pitched last
season he was to receive bonus of $780,
was sustained and the Boston management
was directed to pay him the stipulated $500
Pitcher Maddox contracted to play with
Pittsbtng for the season ending October
IS but was sold to the Kansas City club Of
the American association.
The Kansas City clubs season closed
October 1 and Maddox demands that Pitts
burg pay him for the fifteen days his
original contract with that club still had
to run
The National commission today sustained
Maddox's position, establishing the prin-
ciple that no matter what disposition is
made Of a player the maker Of the original
contract is responsible to him for the full
term for which 1t contracted for his serv-
ices.

Cornell is Out for
Water Championship
Swimming Team from ithaca Will
Make It's Debut in Match with
Columbia Today.

ITHICA, N Y, Dec. 13.-(Speoial.)-
Much activity has been witnessed this fall
in the natatorium of Cornell university IN
anticipation of the meets for the Inter
collegiate Swimming association team
championships. The watermen from Ithaca
will make their debut in New York on De-
cember IS with the Columbia swimmers as
opponents. and they are anxious to make
a good showing.
Captain H. w. Walker Las had big
squad at practice for several weeks, and
the less promising materials is being gradu-
ally weeded out. Both the swimming and
water polo teams are we'll under way of
formation. and prospects are excellent;
though of course, this is Cornelrs first
year in open competition, and the boys can
hardly be expected TO prove a match for
the veteran Rggregations Of Yale, Penn
sylvania and Princeton.
The swimming team is well balanced,
with several likely candidates for every
event, and It should give Columbia close
and interesting battle for honors. Walker,
shamberg, Ostrander, Maldlner. Dodge,
Maze, Gervain, Stanwood, Davis and
Austin are sprinters OF no mean ability,
and besides giving good account of them
selves in the individual races they should
yield fast relay quartet.
Maldiner has been travelling fifty yards
consistently In twenty eight seconds and
with Davis, Austin. Thorne and Maze or
shamberg a team able to average better
than twenty nine seconds should be turned
out. Then there are two very good fancy
divers IN Ostrsnder and Kaufman, the lat
ter the same Kaufman who finished fifth
in the outdoor championships last June;
and q first class plunger In Sanderson,
who covers sixty feet consistently and often
does sixty-four and sixty-five.
The outlook for water polo is less bright.
Cornell had no team last year, and the
game is essentially one in which experience
and concerted action is necessary. Walker,
Maldiner, sanderson, Maze, Shamberg and
Austin played at school and the rudiments
were thoroughly taught. They also have
the speed. endurance. grit and weight
needed TO develop into stars. and a few
weeks Of hard practice and good coaching
may accomplish the unexpected
Cornell lie at present somewhat handi-
capped by a small natatorlum the pool only
measuring G0x1s feet. which precludes the
possibility OF holding any OF the inter-
collegiate meets there. The question of
building new quarters Is already under
consideration. however. and 1t is more than
likely that before another year has passed
plans will be made for a bath similar 20
those OF Princeton, Yale, Pennsylvania and
Columbia. suited for competition and able
to accommodate a large number OF spec
tators.

March is the most dangerous
