I darker than 1t was when the opposing
pitcher dropped it on the ground. Bui
| there was nothing wrong with the
catcher's gloves and they would have
passed examination.
1t Is reliably asserted that the sal.
airy list of the Boston Red Sox the pas,
season was $4,000. with this amour,
naturally suppose that the club owners
would have no trouble in signing theiI
players for next season.
But the average ball player is never
satisfied and the chances are several OF
them will insist on having their pay
increased. If they do Lannin may take
a stand against his men, which he
should do, for to further increase his
salary list would mean to get the clubs
business in such a state that it could
not make a proht no matter where II
finished In the race.
iris Speaker, probably the highest
salaried player in either league. said to
draw $4,000 per season. will have tc
sign contract before next season, az
the one which Melted him this fabulous
sum expired with the past season.
Ty Cobb. who is said to be getting
$4,000, has another year to play for
that figure. his contract not expiring
Cobb Ia sure to keep up his present
pace for a couple Of years or more and
he will naturally want to earn as much
as he can, SO that 1t would not be sur
prising II he, too, would ask for higher
pay when the time comes to sign a new
contract.
If the plan to come to some under
standing with the Federal League sue
ceeds the ball player Is the one who is
going to suffer by reason of peace.
The pay the average player now is
drawing really is more than he can
earn or the game can stand. BY reason
of the war the players have been bene-
flied. but when peace comes they will
be the ones to pay the fiddler.
The chances are that those players
who have been loyal to their clubs and
have not held up the owners. yet have
shared in the general prosperity. will
be taken care of much better than
those that forced their employers to
fork up large amounts.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. October 16.-B. B. johnson,
president Of the American League. re-
brated his Homecoming by giving the
base ball dove of peace a horrible kick
with his squared-toed boot.
Within few minutes of his landing
the American League president d.
ciared that:
There would be no base ball peace.
That the Federal Leaguers were lick
ed to FRAGILE"
That the alleged peace meeting held
in Philadelphia was not of his seek
ing; that he entered the conference
only after President Gilmore of the
FederaIs had withdrawn, and that he
Johnson-would not enter another.
Mr.. johnson came in early today. He
was pleased at the winning of the
world championship by the Boston Red
Sox. Likewise was in good hunor be-
cause of the victory Of the White Sox
in their series with the Cubs and be-
cause the st. Louis Browns triumphed
over the Cardinals.
Then the interview was carried to
peace.
This is what happened" declared
President Johnson. II was IN Phila-
delphia during the world championship
series and was asked over the tele-
phone to meet some representatives Of
the Federal League at which peace was
to be discussed. ! first asked whether
President Gilmore would be present.
and having been assured that he would
not he, agreed to attend the conference.
Reaching the cafe 1 met President
Tener of the National League, Chair
man Garry Hermann of the national
commission and Owners ST. Clair. Ball
and Gwinner of the Federal League.
Peace was talked of. but their propo-
sitions were of such an indefinite char
acter that they could not be enter
tanned from the American League
standpoint.
Nothing of tangible nature was
suggested or entertained, and after the
conference I was just as much at sea
as before the meeting.
Nothing was done and I doubt very
much whether anything will be accom-
piished. 1t is my belief that the Fed
eral Leaguers have been licked to
frazzle and there Is a doubt in my own
mind whether I would attend another
meeting where peace was to be the
subject"

thing that has ever been done for base
ball.
World series were made possible by
the peace pact which brought the
American League into the fold in 1901
The breaches between the two leagues
however, were not well enough patched
to allow a series between the winners
of the two leagues every year.
Boston and Pittsburgh played In 1908
BUT there was no series in 1904. Since
1905 these series have been regularly
conducted every fall, under the au-
spices of the national commission
which by reason of the world series
gets funds enough to operate during the
season.
Ty Cobb is a great hall player because
he is a keen observer. 1t was the good
luck Of the writer to sit within speak
ing distance of the Georgia Peach"
during every game Of the recent world
series, and his comments made IN
private and not for publication plainly
on the ball field which he overlooks.
Noticing escaped Cobb during the
practice Of the two teams, and when
the game started his interest increased
and he frequently was able to detect
the hit and run sign and call the turn
on attempted steals,
Cobb is a quick thinker in everything
he does, and that, no doubt, Is the rea-
son he outclasses any ball player the
game has ever produced.
Cobb for instance, noticed that none
of the Boston pitchers ever lay down
their gloves. They carry them In their
hip pockets. and while he does not ex,
plain why they do II: he Is satisned
that there is a reason for 1t.

There seems no doubt that Hopkins
is turning out a strong eleven this
year. the most powerful it has had in q
long while. BrickIey's team yesterday
won from Western Maryland College by
35 to 6, and when it Is considered that
Western Maryland played Dickinson to
a tie score and Dickinson was barely

looks exceedingly capable. Hopkins is
