Baseball peace has smoked up
once more, this time stronger than
ever, probably because the National
and American league are now hold
ing their winter sessions.
Barney Dreyfuss of tine Pirates is
due to arrive here this afternoon at
O'Clock, direct from the National
league meeting in New York. There
some National magnates got togeth-
er at dinner with a few Fed back
ers and the peace talk became prom
inent. That is the report.
New York correspondents, in a
burst of enthusiasm, go so far as to
outline the terms on which peace can
be secured. And there is not one
thing new in these propositions, ex-
cept that the Feds get less than they
have ever been offered in imaginary
proceedings before.
The Cubs are to 60 to the North
Side, being bought by Weeghman.
Sinclair, the spender of the Feds, is
to be allowed to buy half of the
Giants or Yankees, the Wards will be
allowed to buy the Dodgers, Pitts
burgh will have but one team, the
Pirates, and Ed Gwinner, hacker of
the Feds there, will take over Cleve-
land of the American league. The
other Feds will be taken care of in
the American assn and International
league.
Heretofore the Feds have been CIV
en- better break in the peace talk
and nothing has come of it. The
only thing that makes the present
rumor any stronger than preceding
ones is the impending presence of
Barney Dreyfuss in our midst.
Maybe peace is in sight. Maybe it
isn't. 1t is something that gets no
red-faced cheers from us and really
makes little difference to the great
fan family. Reorganization may
bring better baseball, but in the past

eastern tinge, that part of the coun-
try never having taken the Feds Sc
riously. That remark applies to the
fans. But National magnates who
saw their gate receipts cut down on
western trips realize that the third
league has been a real factor in base
ball.
Unprejudiced observers have been
about equally divided as to the
strength of the Nationals and Fed
erals, so far as playing strength was
concerned, and this also makes it
doubtful if the Feds will make all the
concessions. Peace is just as neces-
sary to the National as to the Gil
more circuit, as the parent major last
year was major in name only, being
the punkest general combination that
ever paraded under the guise of a
big league.
Any team that can call Pete Knise-
ley it's first utility outfelder and give
Bill Hinchman a chance to bat over
300 has nothing to brag of, and this
is what the Cubs and Pirates did last
season. The other teams were as
bad.
For a final word, don't forget Char
ley Murphy. He will have whole
lot to say about transferring the
Cubs to the North Side. Murphy is
still a big factor in baseball politics
and has long lease on the West Side
plant. He must be literally paid or
he will not agree to give up the rent
he receives for the Cub park.
Once more, peace may be almost
here, but it will not have an effect
on our Christmas, either way.
No contracts were signed yester-
day for a fight between Jess Willard
and Fred Fulton in New Orleans on
March 4. The papers did not arrive.
This bout will have to get the usual
press agent notices before it is final

GERMAN REPLY ABOUT JULY 8
Washington to Consider Note
July 9 or 10.

Cornish. N. H., July 6.-President
Wilson has received official informa-
ton from Washington hat Germany's
reply to the last American note on
submarine warfare may be expected
about July s, and in consequence he
expects to return to Washington July
8 or 10 in order to consider the note
with Secretary Lansing and other
members of his cabinet.
President Wilson spent most of the
day studying in quiet seclusion the
general European question, including
the possibilities of bringing about
peace. He had before him confidential
reports of Colonel e. M. House, Am,
bassador Gerard, Secretary Lansing
and several other officials. He has
been gathering these reports for sew
eral months and is now taking the op
p%ortunity offered by freedom from
minor worries to go over them anc
familiarize himself with the foreign
situation.
