Big league schedule makers are
now considering National League con-
oitions. A conference viii be held
in Cincinnati Tuesday by the national
commission to bring about harmony
between the two major organize lions
in this regard and incidentally TO elect
Garry Hermann chairman OF the
commission again. In return Mr.. Her
mann will entertain his colleagues,
Messrs. johnson and Lynch, at his
famous club--not basehall-tust out

along in years and should be a marx
