Rival Leagues May Yet Effect Peace
-:I:- -:!!:- -:II:- -:I:- -:Il:-
Carrying Football TIandicaps Man Speed

FEW YORK, Jan. although the
M new year opens with no signs Of
peace on the baseball horizon,
there is a report circulating in the
ranks of organized baseball that some
form Of working agreement will be
reached between the Federal league
and the major leagues before the be-
ginning of the 1915 pennant races.
Both organized and Independent base
ball are understood to be awaiting the
decision in several cases Of players
contracts now before the courts.
The leading officials of the leagues
now opposed to each other are chary
about being quoted regarding the pos
slbll1ty OF peace pact but it is a well
established fact that the discussion of
plans to bring about the desired re-
suit has not been dropped entirely. A
majority of the magnates are con-
WINGED that another season of conflict
such as marked 1914 will prove disas-
TouS from a financial standpoint and
must be avoided if possible
Just which side will take the mi
tiative depends upon the outcome of
the cases before the courts. Once fl
nal decision has been rendered and the
various interests have learned their
legal rights and future line of action,
determined effort to reach an under
standing may be expected. AS pointed
out by a prominent club owner in
recent private review OF the situation,
any other attitude will spell financial
disaster Under the present conditions
the only person to benefit by the con-
tinuatiOn of the baseball war is the
baseball player. While the magnates
admit that he is a necessary adjunct
to the business there is no intention
to turn the business profits over to
him in their entirety.
The extent to which the carrying of
a football handicaps the runners speed
was the subject of an interesting dis
cussion at a recent meeting of gridiron
veterans. It was pointed out that, al
most without exception, in a long
sprint down field after picking I'D a
fumbled ball, the runner is gained
upon by pursuing players although not
always OVeTtaken, due to an advantage
at the start 1t was the general Opin-
ion that any given player could sprint
the 100 yards of the Football field from
a second to a second and a half faster
without the ball than when carrying
the leather
That the proposed tour Of South
America by major league baseball
teams during the winter of 1856
will be a financial success is the con-
fident prediction made by several
