it's record crop of cheap sports.
 There are still high class men left in the game, but they are deep in the minority. The only basic strength of the game still left is the tradition Of the players-the public regard for such men as Mathewson, Wagner, Johnson, Cobb, Herzog, Evers, Plank, Collins and dozens of others. The player has always been square. In the last two years he was led on the right track by the money-lust or those above him. but after all the player has been the one saving feature of the game in late years.
 Baseball to be carried back to It's old height needs more than any peace declaration. It needs cleaning out from top to bottom, from roof to eel lar It needs man at the head like John Heydler, just a plain honest citizen who would have the best in- terests of the game at heart. The day of the prize stew and the political trick stuff in baseball is over if baseball is to live.
 Which are a few additional details the three leagues may consider at their gathering in New York.

Murphy Says Lease on West Side Park
 May Be a Barrier in Cubs Sale.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Charles w. Mur- phy, former president of the Chicago Nationals, intimated yesterday that there might be difficulty in transfer ring the Chicago Nationals from their old home to the park of the Chicago Federals as proposed in plans for baseball peace.
 "The Cubs have an eighty-year lease on the west side ball park said MT. Murphy. "Mr. Taft has a half in terest in the grounds and I have the other half If the Nationals try to move to other grounds immediately arrangements vii have to be made to pay the rental under the present lease. The West Side park is valued at s700,O0O."
 Discussion of possibilities which might follow a declaration of peace between the National, the American and the Federal leagues yesterday brought out a statement credited to what was declared to be an authori- tative source, that next year Chicago would have three baseball clubs but that an American association club would replace the Federal league players here.
 The report said that it was more than likely that the Cleveland fran chise would be transferred to Chicago thus permitting Charles Somers to come here with his team so as to take care of the long term lease on the West Side grounds.
 In that event Charles Weeghman and the partner, who is credited with an intention of joining him in buying the Chicago Nationals, would have no difficulty in moving the Cubs fran chise to the North Side ball park

New York, Dec. 1S.-Hobey Baker still continues to shine in the sporting world. The former captain of the Princeton football and hockey teams, who is playing center on the St. Nicholas Ice Hockey club of the Anna teur Ice Hockey league of New York. recently amazed the ice enthusiasts of Montreal, Canada, by his brilliant all around playing and which was instru- mental in defeating the Canadian All Stars by a score of 6 to 2. His all around work featured the contest and

earned for the elusive center rounds of applause. The consensus of Opin- ion among the experts was that never before has an amateur appeared in a. contest in Montreal who showed as much class as Baker. He was here, there and everywhere. Time and again he evaded his pursuers, often lodging through the entire field. AL though Baker tallied only two of his teams goals he was directly respon- sible for the other four goals scored by Bod Ellis, right wing.
