The handbook of the Boy Scouts

eagerness of blind boys to become
scouts and the help that the scout
movementhas given them creates
demand for the handbook in raised

is likely that similar action will be
taken with the American handbook.

American Association Now
Makes Plans to Let Small

Chicago. Feb. PA plan agreed
upon whereby cities Of smaller leagues
may play baseball in Minneapolis. St

lie here yesterday by President Thorn
as NJ. C~hivinston of the latter organ
ization. The plan was drawn up bS
President Chivington, NJ. f. Cantillor
and George Tcbeau. a committee ap.
pointed for the purpose. According
to Chivington, it safeguards associa-
ton territory in every way.
Smaller leagues will not be allowed
to grant franchises in larger cities,
but may at the convenience of the as
the big cities. Dates must not con-
1ict; American association prices OF
admission must be charged, and a
fixed sum must be paid for the privil.
eye.
The agreement automatically laps
es at the end of the season. The
leagues and cities involved are:
Central-Intcrnational league. to
play at Minneapolis and st. Paul;
Observation-Disclosures league to play AT
Milwaukee and the Interstate league
to play at Columbus.
"1t is reasonably certain said
Chivinston last night. that the Cen
tral-International league will place
teams in Minneapolis and St. Paul,
transferring the games assigned to
other cities. Whether the Wisconsin
Illinois league will go into Milwaukee
as permitted by the plan, or the Inter-
state league into Columbus, is a mat
ter which must be settled by these
leagues and the owners of the Mil
