 New York, Dec. 1S.-Approval of the tentative baseball peace plan hav- ing been given by representatives of the National, American and Federal Leagues, the details of the treaty were to come before the national commits eral League today. Meanwhile the negotiations are awaiting the result or efforts to be made in Chicago todaV to obtain the consent of Judge Landls to dismiss the suit brought by the Federal League against organized baseball. A question was raised in the negotiations here whether it would be legal Or in contempt of Judge Lan- dis to sign a peace treaty while the legal action was still pending before him.
 Aside from the mergers of the Ma tional and Federal League clubs in Chicago and St. Louis, one Of the most important clauses in the agree ment it is authoritatively stated, is a provision that seventy-two of the Federal League players who now have contracts with the Federal League shall be fully protected by organized baseball. According to the same authority other Federal League play CTS will be given ten days notice.
 Gwimier for President.
 The disposal of players left over by elimination of the Federal league bears upon the International league and the American association. The reorganized International league will probably have Newark, Buffalo, Balti- more and Pittsburgh.
 It is reported that Carroll Basin, president of the Baltimore Federals, will control the new Baltim ore club and that Edward Gwinner, head of the Pittsburgh Federals, will be president of the reogganized Pitts burg club. Basin, however, demands that the St. Louis National league club be transferred to Baltimore.
