PEACE TERMS may

Federal Leaguers viii Hold
Session, and Tip Says Har-
mony May Result.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Federal
League owners win hold a meeting In
this city on Friday. and gossip had 1t
that some sort of an agreement would
be reached with the National League
solons. who viii convene at the wal
dorf-Astoria on December IA. The story
that the Federal League men would be
permitted to purchase the franchises OF
several National League clubs was re-
vived, but this was denied on all sides.
The Feds said today they didn't want
to. buy any franchises: the National
were for sale. That seems to make It
unanimous. but the rumor spread de-
spite all disavowals.
II is probable that when the outlaw
magnates go into session the fate OF
the Newark club will be decided. 1t il
almost certain that Harry Sinclair, who
now controls the Jersey club. will pur-
chase a big interest in the New York
team. and will therefore have to dis
pose of his holdings in Newark. pat

to Sinclair but nothing definite could
be learned on the matter at the office
