IN at any settlement OF the baseball war.
nothing of the kind is to take place. The
minors decided to-day not to ask repre-
sentation on the National Commission and
the majors therefore will be left with
free hand to deal as they will with the
Federals. Whipped to a standstil by the
majors, the minor league magnates con-
cluded to-day their fourteenth annual con-
ference and most of them left for their
homes tonight without having enacted
the legislation which was demanded by
them almost unanimously previous to the
arrival In Omaha Tuesday of johnson
and Hermann.
Tho constitutional revision committee
brought before the convention without
recommendation resolutions to rcarrangc
the board of arbitration and gain for
the minors a place on the National Com
mission. After a two hour debate IN
which 1'ierney OF the Three-I and He'll
tfoner of the Central League led the
affirmative, the revision was turned down
by a vote Of 20 TO 3. IA number of prox-

THE sale OF the Chicago Cubs to
Weeghman does not break up the Fed
eral League nor does II end the baseball
war said President Barrow OF the In
ternational League to-day.
THE negotiations now under way in
Chicago do not account for the Brook
| lyn Federals nor for the Federals in other
| places. They simply take away one OF
the big hackers OF the Federals and leave
! that league in position TO invade another
town IL 1t can find the hackers to put up
the money.
Weeks OF negotiations will have TO
be gone through with before any final
peace is arranged. The Wards cannot
possibly purchase Brooklyn. Ebbets
simply won't sell. Nor can they purchase
the New York Americans. They will have
to go to some other city II they expect
to get into the majors. Not a single
Federal representative has attended the
meeting of the minors at Omaha
Peace efforts on the part of organized
pan are All because or tie lnlerndtlontl,
not because the big leagues are hit badly.
The sale of the Cubs does not assure that
peace which can come only by one or
the other being whipped out or eliminated
by purchase. There may be a consolida-
ton of interests at Buffalo and Baltimore,
but no elimination of the International
teams, ar President Gilmore of the Fed
erals says there will be. And in any ne
gotiations which are carried OH thosc
