Before you have your thoughts in

JACK says he has retired. and that

Jack surely should be allowed 10

declared himself out OF commission. is

Who Is Best Henvyr
Sam Langford says he has the best
right TO succeed Johnson. Joe Jean
nette declares he chased Langford out
OF the country. and has a better claim
on Johnson's abandoned laurcls than
any OF them. Sam McVey, away in

Paphe named Impossible conditions.

the public. On the top of that Papke
performed so very wretchedly on vari-
Gus occasions that he not only disguised
the tight fans. but disguised himself.
very recently he declared himself out OF
the game. So that with Ketchel and

ny GUS MALBERT.

The coming week will probably lie
tue most momentous In the history of
organized baseball, certainly within
the past decade. OF primary import
ance is the renewal of the peace pact
between the two major leagues and
the minor leagues throughout the coun-
try, banded together as the National
Association OF Professional Baseball
Leagues. The old agreement died with
the season of 1911. The new agree
ment will begin with the playing sea
so. of 1919.
Down In San Antonio, Tex. just a
few weeks ago, the minor professional
baseball leagues held meeting. Repre-
sentatiVeS wcro present from each of
the organizations in the United States
and Canada. Many questions were dis
cussed. and the result of Nil this dis
cnssion was that several demands will
be made of the National Commission
when that body eUnvenes to- morrow.
First. the class "a" leagues will de-
mand higher classification with
drafting privileges. a uniform salary
limit for leagues under given class
was also advocated. There were a
number of other demands, all of which
Will give cause for further discussion.
Little Trouble Anticipated.
1t Is not believed that any trouble
Will BIO experienced in having the new
agreement signed, but II is believed
that the commission will balk at many
of the demands made by the minors.
The weaker vessels In organized base
ball have had Il trying experience dur
ing 1911. Many of them did not quite
weather the storm. and as result
they are In a particularly rebellious
mood at this time. But making de-
mands is one thing and having them
granted Is quito another. sil Il I,
