Commission to Meet Monday.
Though generally overlooked thus
far. Monday is the date for one Of the
important baseball events. in
the political sense Of the entire year.
The national commission will gather
at Cincinnati for its annual meeting.
At this time officers are elected and
the reports Of the retiring officers are
received. In advance. of course, it
can be stated that Garry Hermann,
the only chairman the commission has
had since its creation. will be re-elect-
ed; The other members. Presidents
tons by virtue of their league offices.
John Il. Bruce. the only secretary
the commission has had. also will be
reelected. Both Messrs. Hermann
and Bruce are very busy men, but
they accept their offices each year
from pure love of the game. In the
case of each the office costs more than
its returns.
So far as known. there is no i'm
portant matter for h commission to
take up. other than consideration Of
the Glass AA salary limit matter. This
Is OF concern only to two circuits.

WESTERGAhRD IS
new CHAMPION
Iowa Wrestler Took Two
Out Of Three Falls
From Ordemann.

Minneapolis. Jan. S.-Jess Wester-
gard of Des Moines, Iowa. will claim
tine American heavyweight wrestling
title as the result Of his victory over
Henry Ordeman of Minneapolis at tho
auditorium here last night.
W~estergaard took the asst two falls,
Ordeman winning the first fall. The
match was witnessed by one OF the
largest crowds that ever attended u
similar match in this city.
The victor will meet Chris Person
of Fargo, i. D., and will challenge
Charles Cutler and Americas. Later
he will meet Zbyszko. should the lat
ter defeat Cutler at Chicago, IAN
uary IS.
The first fall was the most hotly
contested Of the three. 1t went to O..
deman after twenty-four minutes OF
the hardest kind Of wrestling. Yves
tergaard came hack strong in the sec
ond part of the bout. winning the
secon fall in nineteen IN
man and had little trouble in ~disposins

Future of the Winner.
Frank Force in the Minneapolis
Tribune thus sums up the future OF

This match is Of the utmost i'm
portance to the contestants o the
winner Is TO be proclaimed the Ameri-
can champion and will held the title
just AS long as Frank Gotch sticks
10 his determination to remain in re-
.tirement.
NO one would claim that either
Westergaard or Ordeman could throw
the Humboldt wonder. but with that
worthy out of the game the winner
of this contest will be given h title
ior this country at least.
May Tackle ZbysZkO.
Then if the man who wins is sue
cessful in defending the title through
out the winter he will probably be
matched with Zbyszko or some of the
foreigners now in his country. for a
1.ig match some time during the cont
ing spring.
AT this time Cutler apparently is
the only American heavyweight who
might dispute the American title with
either Ordeman or W~estergaard and
undoubtedly he will be given Il chance
with the winner long before the win
ter has drawn t . a close.
Thus victory any number
of first class matches with big ~atc
receipts for the winner. while the
loser will naturally be out OF the rum
ming for sometime to come"

There isn't another business in the

survive. Two incidents, involving the
men who are most prominent ! n the
sporting news Of this morning, come
frequently made, that the national
game lives and prospers in spite of
its promoters, rather than because OF
them.
The two men referred to are, of
course. Frank Chance and Roger
Bresnahan. Chance has left his Cali
fornia home for Chicago. where he
will sign a contract to manage the
New York Highlanders. Bresnahan.
the dispatches tell u.s.. has settled his
claim against the st. Louis club for
a sun not named. His contract had
four years to run at $4,000 per year.
In addition he was to get ten per cert
of the net earnings of the club. What
that can only be estimated. In maxi
ing the settlement. 1t is probable that
only the money that Bresnahan would
have coming to him on straight salary
was considered.

finding that he was no longer desired,
have accepted a smaller sum
than has now been paid to him. What
his release would bring can only be
guessed. But IL a player like Corriden
Is worth $12.500 in money and men,
Bresnahan. with three clubs bidding
for him. ought to bring close to $780,
600 in cash.
Chances case differs in some ways,
but has a general resemblance. Garry
Hermann got this man for the waiver
price. and turned him over to New
York for the same money he paid.
The release of Chance should be
worth fully as much as that Of Bres-
nahar. He cannot be figured on as
a player, though he may get back
into the game this season. There
Bresnahan. who is now pretty nearly
as good as he eve was. has something
on Chance. But the latter has shown

There is no doubt that he is as good
today as ever, and il his work did not

In the fielding line he ranks with
