Peace Confab a Victory
For Organized Baseball
Result Of Conference New York Put Federal League Out Of
Exsence-Natonal and American League Magnates
Control Afairs-Handle Contract Jumpers.

After the formal meeting had adjourned
today and Ban johnson had started for
Chicago, several OF the magnates re-
| mained and informally discussed details
Of the settlement, which 1t is expected
will be reached as soon as the Federal
!! League suit before Judge Lands at Chi
cago has been withdrawn.
Cubs for weeghman.
II is now understood that only two
men in the Federal League will buy into
organized baseball. These viii take hold
ings in the National League, while there
will be no newcomers in the American
League. II the peace terms are made
the Cubs will pass over to Charles
Weeghman. Phil Ball or some others
are expected to take over tn. st. Louis
Cardinals. Some OF the other Federal
Leaguers may become owners or part
owners in minor league clubs. especially
in the International League. which is in
Feed of new capital
Charles Somers will remain at the head
of the Cleveland club. The American
League will see Somers through his
financial difficulties and keep him in the
game. In doing this 1t Is only repaying
a man who stood by the league in the
days of its fight for recognition. Somers
was the main cog in the formation Of the
American League, and at one time car
ried three clubs. Ban Johnson has not
forgotten and has lined up the league to
help out the Cleveland owner.
Minors for Baltimore.
Charles A. Comiskey got his fighting
blood up today and dashed cold water
on the aspirations of the Baltimore, Fed
eral League owners to put Baltimore
back into the major leagues. Carol w.
Rasin and his partner. Mr.. Goldman,
made a long fight to have Baltimore
awarded National League franchise.
presumably the Cardinals.
Baltimore never has been a big league
town and 1t never will be- said Com
iskcy Il can. name you one of the
greatest ball clubs in history that
played at Baltimore. 1t was the old
Jennings. Robinson. Keefer and Kelley. /
a team that would pack a ball park to-
day. and they drew Just $4,000 on the
season.
That stopped Baltimore.
Comiskey and Captain Houston dis
cussed the Frank Baker case today
CorAiskey. who has been willing to offer
a big sum for the home-run king. agrees
that he would not deal with Baker until
the owners OF the Yankees completed
negotiations with him. In the event the
Yankees don't take Baker. Comiskey
may then consider his purchase
1t is stated that Harry F. Sinclair, the
big financial man of the Federals. may
retire from baseball entirely when peace
is declared. He intends to do this un-
less he arranges to bly, an interest in
the Giants. 1t is understood that
President Hampstead has considered
proposition which would leave the con-
troll Of the club in his hands.

New York. Dec. lS.-With the de-
parture of the once-warring baseball
magnates for the West to resume their
peace confab at Cincinnati on Tuesday,
1t is now beginning to dawn on the
followers of baseball that organized
baseball has won a distinct victory
and not the Federal League. as ap-
peared a few days ago. At first it
seemed that the Federals had foored
the National League for the count and
gained both q financial and moral vic
tory. but this is disproved by the net
results of the conference. These are:
That the Federal League Ii extinct
OF at least will not be In existence
more than . few days more. II moth
Ing happens to upset the present
plans.
That organised baseball n far as
the personnel Of the maGnates and
their eontrol Of the affairs Of the game
enter ists II, Will remain practically
rs II was.
Those OF the Federal League who
come iats the Organization will have
to pay the holdings they take ever.
Organized baseball has simply done
away with . competitor and cleared
the way for prosperity fer itself.
James E. Gaffney, who brought about
the peace conference. is now being con-
National League was being panned for.
For since the opening of negotiations.
information has leaked out of the meet
ing room which indicates that organized
baseball is having pretty much of its own
way.
The best instance of this was the man.
ner in which the contracts of seventy
two ball players tied up for long terms
were handled The Federals went into
the meeting declaring that they would
stand or fall on the point of whether the
American and National Leagues took
care OF these players. They were going
to break up the peace meeting if they did
not have their way. But the result is
that they agreed to act according to the
plan put forth by organized baseball.
Won't Keep Players.
The Federal League representatives
wanted the men taken back and allotted
to various clubs. but they have now
agreed to keep the players and barter
them of to club owners in organized
baseball for whatever terms they can ar
range. In other words. organized base
ball does not intend to take over a lot of
dead wood that the Federal League got
on its hands in the early rush for play
ers.
League delegation came near walking out
of the conference and breaking UP the
peace meeting on Friday night over this
matter of disposng Of the long-term and
so-called iron-clad contracts of the Fed
eral players. Ban johnson and his fol-
lowers refused to consider the terms Of
fered by the Federals and threatened to
quit unless they could have their way.
The Federals gave in.
