"To Build the City First
Build the Man." Educator
Tells Summit Trade Board
Special to the Evening Star.

Special to the Evening star.
SUMMIT, April 14.-"If you will
build a city you must first build the
man." James Wood Pogue, vice-pres-
ident of the Sheldon School of New
York, last night told members OF the
Board OF Trade, under whose aus
plces he spoke on "The Science OF
City Building"
IT would to God that had the
power to have such men as Woodrow
Wilson live one hundred years longer,
yes, and Theodore Roosevelt, too.
The world would be tar better of
with the prolonging of the lives OF
such men as these. / don't care what
your politics may be. I'm not speak
ing of political beliefs, but of man
hood" said the speaker. The great
world powers are mechanical power,
money power and man power, but
without the latter this world would
soon decay, Mr.. Pogue declared.
1.-THE average man In your city is
only one-quarter developed; the re-
naming three-quarters of his physical
being is not utilized" said the speak
or. At this period in his address Mr..
Pogue paid high compliment to the
activity and sprightliness OF the
boards president, c. HI. G. Jagels,
whose rapid stride through the hall
on assuming the chair to open the
meeting was observed by the speaker,
who contrasted the quick movements
of Mr.. Jagels with the slow gait OF
many men who. though comparative
ly yound in years. appear old.
: 'Old age is the attitude of the mind.
You can learn to grow young just
as easily as you make yourself grow
old. You want to build a city where
the village of Summit now stands
Do you get busy with building your
self first. I'm not an admirer of pu-
gilism. but I envy the fellow who
knocked out Jack johnson. wish 1t
were who had been able to have ac-
complished that feat" the speaker

peace. Sinclair stated positively he had made no effort to buy into. any major league club at this time and that he was not preparing to dispose of his real estate holdings and fran chise in the Newark Federal league club. All major and minor league deals for players, either by trade or purchase, were held up pending the coming conference, since none of the owners of managers knew what con- ditions would prevail after peace is reached, providing that result is ac- complished. "
 President David l.. F'ultz of the players fraternity injected that or ganization into the situation with a statement. that the rights of the dia- mond workers must be respected in the readjustment. At present the players are doing more worrying ap- parently than the club owners and several expressed the opinion yester- day that their future was not being given the consideration it should be bv the magnates in the proposed reor- ganization plans for professional base ball.

WEEGHMAN MAY BE
 CUBS NEW OWNER
Thinks Look Dark for Contract Jump-
 ers-JOhnsOn is Hopeful-No Offer for Baker,

Chicago, ILL, Dec. 17.-President Ban Johnson of the American league, who left Chicago yesterday with the peace committee of the American league for the New York meeting which may bring peace to the warning baseball clubs had a hopeful view of the situation as he
 boarded the train. s'The peace plan under consideration is practical he
 said, "and it differs considerably from plans which have been discuss
 ed in public. There will be no hitch
 in the peace plans from the Ameri-
 can league end. No club owner of
 the league will object to Federal
 league packers buying into our or
 ganization if they can make terms
 with individual club owners. It seems
 certain Charles Weeghman will get
 the Chicago Nationals and will have
 as partner wealthy Chicago busi-
 ness man not previously connected
 with baseball I understand Charles
 P. Taft has set price for the club which is satisfactory
 It was also learned that there prob ably will be no legal objection to withdrawal of the Federal leagues injunction suit which had been be- fore Judge K. M. LandlS in the United States district court for many months.
 Such action has been mentioned as necessary step in the peace negotia- tions..
 Among reports which foated around the league headquarters be- fore the departure of the peace mes ' Sengers was an assertion that two of the American league teams would 1 change hands as part of the peace 1 plan. It was also authoritatively announced that Charles Weeghman, 1 president of the Chicago Federals, l would become the owner of the Chi cago Nationals and that he would l have as a partner man new to base 1 ball and that the Chicago club would l move to the North side home of the 1 Federal league.
 1 MT. Weeghman started East with 1 the peace envoys of the American league. The party includes the mem /! bers of the American league peace commission, Charles Comiskey, presi- 1 dent of the Chicago club. J. J. Lan- 1 min of Boston and E.. S. Minor of ! Washington. Others in the party were 1 Charles T. Chivington, president of

 the American association, who said he was taking the trip in the interests of his league. Robert Quinn of Col ~umbus and John Bruce of Chicago.
 The idea that all contract jump ers"' would be reinstated was jolted when the stand of President John- son on that subject became known speaking to group of baseball men he said: " I anticipate little trouble from the player, question. There were not many stars who jumped from our league and the few who leaped in mid-season will never be taken back
 This was taken to mean that Hal Chase, who jumped the White Sox in mid-season, would be given no berth in the American league, but will have to take his chances of re- ceiving his salary from the packers of the Federal league or of being drafted into the National league.
 Connie Mack made it plain that Frank Baker, the much-sougft third baseman of the Philadelphias, would have to wait before he would know the uniform he is to wear. t thought everybody wanted Baker," said Mack, but I found this to be all talk I didn't get an offer for him today"

 ANNOUNCE PLANS
Special Committee Gives Uncle Jeems
 Until January 17 to Perfect Or- ganization of Deague.

New York, Dec. 1.-The commit tee appointed at San Francisco last month by the national association of minor baseball leagues to revise the playing territory in New England, met here yesterday. The committee, met posed of Secretary John H. Farrell of the association, President F.. G. Barrow of the International league and President T. H. Murnane of the New England league, held lengthy session. After hearing representa- tives of the International and New England leagues and President James H. O'Rourke of the Eastern associa- tion, the committee decided to give the last-named association until Jan uary IT to perfect it's organization. If at that time the Eastern asso- citation cannot show it is in 8 posi- ton to make arrangements for play ing it's schedule during the ensuing season, the committee will recom- mend merger of interests by which the New England league will add Hartford, Springfield and New Haven to its circuit.
 Barrow and O'Rourke both posted money for protection of the Hartford and Springfield territory with Secre- tary Farrell last month. Roth de- sired that the money should be held pending a settlement of the terri torial claims by the committee. President Barrow announced a few days ago that he will he willing to forgo the International league claim on Hartford and Springfield if his leageu were given a free field for the location of a club at Worcester. This, however, may not be necessary if the proposed peace agreement with the Federal league is consummated. Tn that event the International clubs will move back into Baltimore and Newark.
 In response to telegram from Secretary Farrell of the national as- sociation, President O'Rourke or the Eastern association went to New York this morning to attend the meeting of the committee appointed by the national association to investigate New England baseball conditions This is the first official notice have received since that committee was ap- pointed" said O'Rourke. "So you can see how much truth there is in the statement of President Barrow of the International league when he said the Eastern association had been given 30 days to prove it intended to start next season."
 O'Rourke said he had heard noth- ing about the story that Jack Zeller and Jesse Burkitt were to have the Bridgeport franchise when the new league is formed. 'T know Teller was in Worcester recently and saw Burkett, as well as other baseball men," he said. "In fact" Zeller and myself have recently made several trips together on baseball business. can't give any particulars at this time.'

 of the season and watched Sammy < Waltz, Hartford's winning feather weight outpoint Fighting Joe Tierney of Paterson, N. J., in the principal \ bout of the evening, a twelve-rRpndl ] affair. While there was no decision given it was clearly Waltzs fight from the start, although Tierney, after passing a bad first round, seemed able to make it an even go for several rounds. Waltz, however, was too strong and appeared not to mind the light hits made by Tierney. Waltz owes his victory to his strong punch, which time and time again bothered Tierney and had the latter in distress often. Tierney stayed the twelve rounds with Waltz by reason of hisy past experience and ability to stand a lot of punishment. Waltz, in spite of his telling punches, failed to de- liver the knockout. He had Tierney
