organized baseball when he was Of

Roger has a two-year contract
which is unbreakable, otherwise he
might have to worry about job, for
in the past it has been the custom
for magnates to brand jumpers, COM
pliment the honor of the players who
stuck, then toss the loyal players
over later if it seemed expedient.
Bresnahan made good on the West
Side last summer, even though he
finished in poor position. He was for
tunate to finish in the league at all,
considering the material with which
he was furnished for competition.
Gradually Roger and his personality
were winning back the fans who had
become aIenated from the West Side
team because of the politics of the
club.
Something definite should develop
from the Cincinnati meeting today
between the national commission
and a committee from the Federal
league. The peace negotiations can
not be stalled off much longer. Or
ganized baseball has shown its posi-

Something must drop or the war
will go on, and it won't hurt any one
but the magnates. Their wounds
may be mortal, for they will be To-

minor fact that each of the gentle
men meeting in the final get-together
conference at Cincinnati is suspi-

back a meat ak, which he would de-
light to bury in important portions
of some other fellows anatomy.
Do the magnates of organized ball
and the Federal league trust each
other? Not any more than Mexican
generals trust each other. Maybe
not so much, for the magnates are
better educated in clever tricks and
have more opportunities.
That is clearly apparent in the
acknowledged statements Of Charley
Weeghman, president of some team
or other, probably the Whales and
maybe the Cubs.
Charles was talking about the suit
which the Federal league entered
against organized baseball last sea-
son, calling the organized gentleman
various unpleasant things and leaV-
ing the inference that there could
never be pleasant associations.
will you withdraw the suit
against organized baseball?" Charles
was asked.

check as withdraw the suit now"
Doesn't that signify loving trust
and faith in the fairness of the men

gotiations over carefully can have a

shock of frigid water, and the sense
of being flung ten ways at once like
a ship in a chop sea, he lost both
his breath and his nerve, and very
nearly gave himself up for lost.
Swiftly the surf subsidized in the
ship canal, and with the return to
something like equilibrium South
wick's reeling senses steadied. When
he came full to his senses he was slop-
ping about on the swing of a reced-
ing billow on a private ice-cakc not
five feet across.
HE sat up, wiped the water out
of his eyes, and considered.
Drenched, and gasping with cold,
he was yet neither dead nor likely
to die. Indeed, the unromantic
fact was that he was not even in
mortal danger. His ice-cake, so, far
as he could see, was seaworthy;
and while the Blackwell was scarcely
the place he would have chosen for
a cruise, nor November the month
for an unpremeditated shower bath,
things might have been worse. He
rode at a lonesome distance from
shore, it is true, and he could not
see sign of boat along the frozen
banks. 1t might be sometime be-

were the life savers on the break

was certain to pick him up.

Judge if he was proud! Last spring Hornells-
vile high school boy, this bitter November day found
him ful-hedged city reporter, with star assignment
at that.
The Sunday editor had looked him over goomily
enough. "Hm!" he muttered considerngly. "There's

So here among the pushing, rough-tongued crowd on
