Chairman Hermann of the national
commission seems to be optimistic as
to the outcome of the peace movement
He believes that Taft and Weeghman
will be able to get together as to the
sale of the Cubs and that this transac-
ton will pave the way for peace. 1t
seems certain that following this trans
action the Wards will buy the Phillies
1t is understood that the owners of that
club admit that they are ready to sell
to the Wards.
These deals. of course. would be only
preliminary to a general reconstruction
of the base ball map, involving in par
ticular the class AA leagues.
The American League is taking no
active part in the peace arrangements.
1t will be benefited if peace prevails,
but it does not propose to make room
in it's own ranks for any of the out
laws.
AS a result of a senseless squabble
over the referee in their recent unsatis-
factory battle Freddie Welsh and
Charles White cannot fight again in
Milwaukee. The fight promoters of the
Wisconsin metropolis have made this
announcement. Tom Andrews, one of
the promoters of the affair, is out with
the following statement. which speaks
for itself:
Harry Pollok. manager of Welsh,
asked for another match. but we did
not consider it. I'm glad it's over.
We had trouble a-plenty with this af-
fair. Up to the last minute we did not
know whether the battle would be
pulled off. owing to nonsensical objec-
tions on this and that.

least was where | could get my hands
on it--but Welsh. after secsawinG and

without putting up a forfeit, This II

he threatened to do, unless we put IN

been left in a nice pickle. In the future,

base ball express the most profound is-
norance when questioned upon the pos
sibilities of an amicable adjustment OF
| the base ball war. 1t is denied that the
| reported sale of the Cubs to Charles
i Weeghman of Chicago indicates in the
least any compromise with the out out,
| laws. There seems to be Weli
grounded belief that an alienation OF
| Weeghman and his associates from the
| Independent cause would prove a aafn-
aging blow to the outlaw cause, as II
would eliminate one of the few clties
of major league callber.
| Secretary John A. Heydler of the Ma

no official notification of negotiations
! between Weeghman and Charles +.
| Taft had reached headquarters He was
| inclined to believe that August Herr
mann'S activities in the matter were
purely personal. in no manner asso-
i ciated with his office of national COM
mission chairman.
/ A National League club president who
resides in this city yesterday said that
| in his belief the Cubs had been sold to

| Mr. Hermann said he. has acted
only as a friend of Mr.. Taft. The latter
asked the owner of the Cincinnati Reds
| to assist him in disposing of his inter

Mr.. Taft who sent Weeghman to Herr

Peace with the Federal League has
not been effected by long way,
though the prospects are brighter by
Ear than a month ago. Naturally noth
sides must go slowly, for many lntri-
cate problems are involved. One of the
chief matters of moment concerns the
players who deserted organized base
ball l know in our league the MAJOR
ity of club owners are opposed to ac-
cepting back into the good graces of
the national commission these same
renegadeS.
.'The Federal League will not be ac-
cepted into organized base ball as a
ma jor. You may be sure OF that. ana
those proposals which have been aired
having for view an amalgamatlon OF
the outlaws with the international
League and American Association oHer
no seasonable solution of the dlfhcul-
ties. That would leave unprotected
nra acticalIy the same territory that was
open to Federal raid and simply would
invite trouble in the future. Ii peace
is effected it must be effected in way
that will reflect credit and honor 10 the
established organization:
II believe Charles Neeghn2n WIN
buy the Cubs. if he has not done so al
ready. But / do Got hclieTe the a.
lnouncement will be maGa until the an
Inual meeting Of the National League
As chairman of the national COMMISSION
which was vested with supreme power
to act on behalf of organized base bali
in the fight, August Hermann mas
every right to entertain projects iof
peace But Mr.. Hermann alone has
not the authority to act for organ
lied base ball. He must have the sup
port of Gov Tener and Ban Johnson,
for. after ALL he can only advise: Be
fore any definite steps are taken IN any
direction the National League club
owners will be consulted. No peace
can possibly be consummated before

We pay our doctors when we are
sick, that is. most of us do. The
Chinese seem to have the better of
us in that, they only pay the doctor
when they are well. When the pa
tient becomes sick the doctors pay
stops. AS soon as the emperor is
sick it is notification to his physi-
clans that their salary is cut off I'M
til he is perfectly well again. The
passionate zeal with which the req
ulars 90 to work to get his majesty
back where their salaries will begin
again is said to be something as
founding. The result is that the
emperor is about the healthiest man
standing on this planet, and his

How Old is the Earth?

The age of the earth is favorite
problem among scientists, possibly
because any one can figure it as he
pleases and no one can prove him
wrong.
Scientia has recently had a sym
postum of these scientific guessers.
M Dudkl uses as his basis the
thickness of the sedimentary rocks
compared to the rate of deposits of
modern streams.
His calculations show a mini
mum age of 2O0,O00O00 years This
is, of course, subject to the doubt as
to whether the rate of denudation
of the earth's face remains con-
slant.
Professor Jolly takes as the base
of his calculation the sadness Of
the ocean. He assumes that the
.cean'was entirely fresh at first,
and that all the sGlt has been
brought to it by streams, washed
cut Of the earth by rain,
All one has to know is the
amount Of salt in the ocean and the
rate at which the rivers supply it.
If this rate has remained the same
through all the earth's history, Pro-
fessor Jolly says the age would be
$4,000 years. But Romer, with the
same material to guess by, says it
is 100000.
Still another way to figure is new.
1t is based on the disintegration of
radioactive minerals; the best guess
by this system is anywhere from
100000 to 1,O25,000,000 years.
When scientists disagree so wide
ly the question seems still open to
discussion. Mokane Missourian.

The old grey hen has thirteen
chicks, and round the yard she
clucks and picks, and tolls the
whole day long; l lean upon the

little sense, whose intellect is
wrong. She is the most important
hen that even in the haunts of men
a waste of effort made, she thinks
if she could cease her toll the whole
blamed universe would spoil, its in
situations fade. Yet vain and trif.
ling is her task; she might as profit
ably bask and loaf throughout the
year; one incubator from the store
would bring forth better chicks and
more than fifty hens could rear.
She ought to rest her scratching
legs, get down to tacks and lay
some eggs, which bring the valued
bucks; but in her vain perverted
way, she says: I'm derned if l will
lay" and hands out foolish clucks.
