SQUASH TENNIS TITLE.
Feron and Kinsella to Play First

NEW YORK, November 6.-Plans were
completed for the professional squash
tennis championship of America at a
meeting yesterday, when d. r. Noyes,
represented Walter Kinsella of the
Squash Club. and George Whitney. act
ed for Stephen J. Feron of the Howard

cember 10. The second match will be
contested in the court of the Squash
Club December 23, and should third
match be necessary 1t Will be played
December 80 at the Princeton Club.
This will be the first professional
squash tennis championship match
played IN several years and amateur
players are very much interested in the
outcome. The demand for seats prom
ises to exceed the supply and two spe-
cial galleries will likely be built in the
Squash Club court in order to accom-
modate the spectators.

Let Weeghman buy the Cubs and the
Wards buy the Yankees, while the st.
Louis Feds take over the Cardinals, and
the rest of the task would not be diff
cult. There is no room for three big
leagues The Feds no doubt realize
this as we'll as does organized base
ball. A continuation Of present con-
ditions means a heavy loss to both
sides. It has been demonstrated dur
Ing the past season that not only is the
artistic standard Of the game reduced
by present conditions, but those who
have their money invested in the sport
stand little chance of getting any re-
turns.
The Federal League brought about
these conditions by its advent into the
base ball field. II Is up against prop
osition which it cannot beat. and to
continue would mean the loss of addi-
tional fortunes. Its principal promot-
ers can be taken care Of by organized
ball without that organization suffer-
ing the slightest humiliation.
1t is not to be expected that there
will be much talk by those interested
about the peace movement. 1t is real
lied that what negotiations and plans
are under way must be kept quiet if
success is to crown the efforts It
would require but very little talk to
throw the entire peace proposition up
in the air, and for this reason base ball
men are keeping mum and waiting for
matters to shape themselves. It stands
to reason that there are many opinions
as to how peace should be brought
about, and matters would be hindered
i fthere was public expression of all
these. Even with both sides willing to
proceed along peace lines. it is going to
take months to arrange details.
AS yet no arrangements have been
made which will allow the Yankees to
play on the Polo Grounds again next

To date none of the three pitchers

Peace Would Be Welcome.

Outside the council chambers were
grouped a band of base ball notables
anxiously awaiting some word of
peace pact which was supposed to be
taking up all the American League
magnates' time. When the doors We're

fired at the conferees.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
CHICAGO, November 1.-TWO events
Of Importance took place yesterday at
the annual meeting Of the American
League. They were not of enough i'm
portance. however, to create big
furore in the base bail world. Event
number one was the awarding of the
1914 flag to Connie Mack. The second
was the complete pacifcation Of the
Athletics manager
Contrary to previous reports, this first
day meeting did not develop anything
of a startling nature. Various rumors
did gain circulation, but when the
magnates came out of the secret cham
bers and read the stories they i'm
mediately branded them as without
any foundation. One in particular
which said the Federal League would
be merged with the two major bodies
was laughed down
Gathering Is Peaceful.
This gathering will go down in his
tory as one of the most peaceful Ban
Johnson's loop ever experienced. Con-
ME Mack was supposed to occupy the
CehteF OF the stage and drag Hughey
Jennings over the Goals for his part in
making public the fact Mack had ask
ed waivers on Bender, Coombs and
Plank. Hughey beat the moguls to it
by calling Connie over the long-dis-
lance phone and explaining the situa-
ton. 1t was purely an error of judg-
ment on Hughey's part, and Mack saw
1t in that light. Before Johnson called
the meeting to order Mack arose and
announced that he wished further talk
OF disciplining Jennings be stopped He
explained that Hughey had apo1ogized
and the affair was passed over.
Connie also was supposed to have a
bone to pick with Clark Griffith, man.
ager of the Nationals. Griffith, accord.
ing to the tale, tipped off various weak
points in the Athletics defense, there.
by aiding Stallings' Braves to win the
world championship. Mack said he die
