ATTORNEYS-AT-LA
PENN TO ROW
ON PoUGHKEEPSIE.
Runor of Dscontinuance FaIse-WiII
Have Three Crews.

Howard Eisenbrey, chairman of the
University of Penns, mia rowing
committee, says that tn pennsylvania
crews positively will row in the big
regatta at POughkeepsie next year,
despite all runors to the contrary.
Pennsylvania will have three crews
at PGughkeepSie this season. Mr.. Els
enbrey said. The only reason that
the date of the regatta was not ratified
with the rest OF the rowing schedule at
the board of directors meeting is be-
cause no date has yet been set by the
rowing stewards"
As &c, the date of the Poughl1eepsie
regatta, the stewards have nothing to
announce beyond the fact that two
dates-June Il and July 1-were I'M
der consideration. The June date is
unsati sfaCtory to three colleges con-
cerned-Columbia Cornell and Penn
sylvania-because it would bring the
regatta too early in the month and
would entail the training season and
interfere with studies.
Columbia has the earliest COM
Increment OF the three and could send
its crews up the Hudson well enough
butt there would be only time for ten
days practice on the course. Neither
Cornell por Pennsylvania would be
able to send their crews to Pough-
keepsie until a day or two before the
regatta, because final examinations
would not be completed then.
Chief objection to July l, the Satur-
day before the Fourth, is raised by the
West Shore Railroad company, which
handles the bulk of the extra passen-
ger traffic to the scene of the regatta
and also operates he observation
train. The company asserts that it's
traffic oh4July l will be heavy because
Of the proximity of the Fourth of July
holiday and it would prefer to have
the regatta on some other day, in or
der that it could handle all it's bust
ness satEsfa Ctorily.
Any. date between June II and July
/ is out of the question because of
tide conditions, which would necessi-
tate rowing the race upstream-some-
thing the students do not wish to do.
The railroad, too, is unwilling to have
the race. roWed upstream, because it
would mean the assembling of a big
crowd at Crum Elbow, where the fin
ish line would be, and where the dan
ger of accident would make the risk
too heavy a one should the observation
train be used.
In addition to the regular course
from Crum Elbow to Yellow Point,
there is a course from Milton to Vel
low Point, but this does not afford the
Facilities for viewing the race that are
offered by the other, and its use is not
seriously considered.

BASEBALL STRIFE NEARING A CLOSE
Peace Sight When American League Magnate Agreed to
Terms Annual Session-National and Federal League
to Consoldate-Barney Dreyfuss the Messenger of
Peace.

with the Federal league which are
agreeable to both them and the Ma
t1onal league and our proposition met
the approval of the American league.
Our close relations with the Amerl-
can league made it desirable that COM
plete accord exist on the question and
it looks as if we had reached that.
Il aid the terms before the Amer
lean league at its meeting here and
can say no more about it. 1 can give
out no details. My work is over and
expect to leave for Pittsburgh to-
night. There was no Cleveland angie
to the terms-the Cleveland clubs af-
fairs are in the hands of the Ameri-
can league and our league has nothing
to say about them"
Baseball War Ending.
1.-The end of the baseball war is in
siSht," said President Johnson. The
plans for peace submitted by Mr..
Dreyfuss, was agreeable to the Amer
lean league, according to the sense
of our meeting and we shall appoint a
committee to go over the details.
1T is probable the meeting of the
three committees will be followed by
a meeting of the national commission.
The proposition for peace includes the
remaining two major leagues"
The peace terms as previously given
out by members of both the National
and Federal leagues included the pur-
chase OF a large interest IN one OF the
New York clubs by Harry Sinclair;
the purchase of the Chicago Nationals
by Charles Weeghman and his assoc
ciates; the sale of the Browns or Car
dinals at st. Louis to Phil Ball Ball
and Otto Stiefel and the amalgamatiOn
of the Brooklyn Nationals and Fed
erals. Neither Mr.. Dreyfuss nor the
American league leaders would YER
fly these statements.
The peace protocol ends a war that
began to attract attention just two
years ago this month. The Federal
league had been in existence then a
year. but not until ole Tinker, unable
to reach terms with the Brooklyn Ma
tionals, had agreed to join the Chicago
Federals did it look serious. Tinker
induced a number of players from
both rival leagues to join the new
league and its organizers succeeded in
attracting additional capitalists as
backcrS.
The new league then expanded, put
ting teams in Brooklyn, and St. Louis
in addition to its former circuit and
| one by one gathered into its fold some
star ball players.

Chicago, Dec 15.-The end of the
baseball war came in sight tonight
when American league magnates at
their annual session here agreed to the
peace terms arranged at New York
between the Federal and National
leagues.
Within a few days, according to
President johnson, the details of an
agreement which does away with the
Federals as an independent league will
be arranged, the American league hav-
ing consented to appoint a committee
to meet ENJOYS from the others.
The announcement of the agreement
came after a session at which moth
ing was discussed except the peace
proposals of the Federals.
These, agreed to at New York by
the National league, were related to
the American league meeting by Bar
ney DreyfuSS, president of the Pitts
burgh Nationals, who came from the
east as a messenger of peace. For
an hour Mr. Dreyfuss addressed the
ing in detail the agreement. Its terms
were not made public, both Mr.. Drey-
fuss and the magnates agreeing to
keep silent on these, but it is gen
orally understood that the consolida-
ton of the National and Federal
leagues is the basis.
Only Two Leagues.
President Johnson declared that
there would be only two leagues, the
American and National
To a later session was left the ap-
pOintment of a committee to meet the
committees of the other leagues. The
joint peace session probably will take
place within a week, according to Mr..
Johnson, at New York or Chicago.
Many details remain to be arranged.
These involve the ball players who
jumped from one league to another
and may result in many of the clubs
getting back those who left in the war
crisis.
The feeling that peace was about
to be concluded put a stop to a good
deal of the trade talk which preceded
the meeting. That the effect of the
wars end would be to create an "eas-
ier'' market for ball players was adj
mitted and all concerned denied that
any trades had been arranged.
Peace Better Than War.
Mr. Dreyfuss declared there was no
mention of the Cleveland club in the
terms he brought.
Peace is better than war" said Mr.
Dreyfuss and I told the American
league magnates so. We reached terms

FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL
DEALINGS IN STOCKS NOMINAL
Fall in AngIo-French Per Cent. War
Bonds to "a 1-9.

New York, Dec. 15.-The one over
shadOWing and somewhat disturbing
feature of today's professional market
was the fall in Anglo French ; per
and future delivery. This quotation
represented a decline of 3 IS points
from the price of general offerings and
a drop of 2 Is under the syndicate or
underwriting price.
Expiration of the 6O-day syndicate
agreement, which precluded free and
unrestricted offerings before today,
was the signal for a general selling
movement which had its inception at
the outset of the session and continued
with little interruption to the close,
before which time they recovered to

An interesting sidelight of the
movement in AngIo-French bonds was
afforded by another reduction in the
subscription prices of German. Aus
traded in here. These issues have suf-
fered a steady downward revision,
mainly in consequence of the CORE
spending depreciation of exchange be-
tween this center and the countries of
the central empires. AS a token of this
condition, remittances to Berlin today

Dealings in stocks were nominal,
aside from the feverish activity shown
by such issues as Mercantile Marine
preferred, oil stocks like Texas Com
pany, Mexican and California petro-
leums, Studebaker and a few of the
recently active war group.
Investment shares, including rails,
were irregular at first, becoming heavy
later. Trading in these stocks was, at
all times obscured by the obvious
manipulation in specialties. New York
manifested underlying strength in the
forenoon, but fell back later on the
failure of directors to increase the
