which now threatens to come with the
end Of the Big Nine football season
with the title undecided, the four lead
ing teams, Chicago. Illinois, Minnesota
and Wisconsin are leaving nothing un-
done to further strengthen for the tits

Here's the dope from the camps:
Chicago, Nov. 4.-The Maroons sped
up in their practice yesterday in pre-
paration for the Haskell Indians and
the Gophers, giving the yearlings a
healthy walloping by a margin of four
touchdowns to zero, The manner in
which they did it was so clean cut that
the yearlings had no excuses TO make.

Chicago. Nov. 4.-PIans are nearing
consummation to terminate the base
bali war by absorbing into the Ma
tional league the men who hold the
federal leagues bank roll
The deal probably would have been
completed already but for the sudden
death OF r B. Ward, president OF the
Brookfeds, who generally was cred
tied with having put more money into
baseball than any other individual dur
ing the professional life of the sport.
The plans which were submitted 10
organized baseball representatives by
Federal league promoters during the
worlds series, and on which leading
spirits in the National and Federal
leagues have been working industri-
ously. contemplate taking into part
ownership in different National league
clubs Harry Sinclair, Phil Ball
Charles Weeghman. William Walker
Edward Gwinner, aud the heirs Of the
late r. g. Ward.
That would eliminate five Of the
Federal league clubs-Newark. Brook

citation and the international league

With that deal thrown into the dis
card. the American league would seem
10 have only a passive interest in the
existing peace plans. Aside from the
PLAYER tangle, it is possible to bring
about the demise of the Federal league
and the resuscitstion OF the National
league through an operation for trans
