organized baseball as the first blow,
was practically decided on here today

statement made after the national
commission adjourned until tomorrow
followed one by President Barrow OF
the International league who first an
nonnced the new war plan. Barrow
declared that Baltimore and Buffalo
would be in the new league. Johnson
did not go so far Neither would he
say what American association clubs
would be selected but the announce

commission was from Missouri and

ether town that it was of major

was clear that the Federal league has

was the subject OF great discussion
among the magnates who attended
the meeting. One suggestion which
disturbed many Of them was made
1t was, suppose the towns on the Pa
cific coast should demand a major
league rating? And that, said several,
Is Just what they will do. II you
think that the Pacific Coast league
will stand to be drafted from by three
major leagues when they howl their
heads off now about two, you will flnd
your error. Baseball tacticians who
we're present at today's meeting were
dubious about the success OF the three
league plan. The opinion was even
expressed that organized ball might
find it had jumped from the frying
pan into the fire and that by div10lng
its own camp had given the Federals
the opportunity to SOW dissension not
only among the players but among
the clubs.

out one man and then went back to

Mt. Vernon. June 30.-Dr. Thomas
Nicholson will not be able to serve as
the next president Of Cornell College.
In spite Of the fact that his election to
the presidency was recently announced
in these columns. DR.. Nicholson was
elected to succeed James E. Harlan at
meeting of the board of trustees June
II, and accepted on condition that he
could secure release from his present
position as secretary OF the board of
education Of the Methodist Episcopal
church. He presented his resignation
to the board and asked for release. but
the executive committee which con-
sidered the request decided that 1t
lacked the power to release him from
an Office to which he was appointed by
the general conference of the church.
and also expressed conviction that his
services were too valuable in his pres
ent position to allow him to resign to
accept the presidency of any institution.
While those in charge of the affairs
of Cornell College are keenly disap-
pointed over this loss. yet their de-
termination to secure president of the
highest caliber is stronger than ever
and they are actively in the field for the
right man. 1t is expected that an an
nouncement may be made Of an election
Of another man to the presidency of
Cornell before the beginning of the new
wear
