Promoters of Ihoutlaw" League Will Be|Let Into

MERGER OF CLUBS
 PLAN CONTEMPLATED

 Three Leagues.

Chicago, Dec. 15-The war between the Federal league and, organized baAabalh which startea more than two years ago, and which resulted in 8 loss Of $1,000,O00, at. a conservative estimate. came to an end tonight,
 when President Ban Johnson, repre-
 senting the American league an- nounced that the peace pact submit ted Jointly by the national and "out- law" leagues. had been accepted by his organization.
 Terms of the treaty were not re-
 vealed. but the main points are
 known to call for the dissolution Of
 the Gilmore circuit, through mergers
 With several National league teams
 and perhaps the Cleveland American league club.
 The three organizations will adopt | committees to me'et within the nex. few days, either here or in New York,
 and dispose of various problems that
 must be solved before' complete tran quility can be restored.
 When the three committees adjust their differences and agree on the de- tails of the various mergers, the national commission will convene
 and decide on the ststns and disposi-
 tion of players and umpires who de-
 serted the old line organizations for
 the Feds.
 Chicago and st. Louis Mergers.
 The clubs that wil1Sbe merged, ac-
 cording to general belief, are the
 Chicago Nationalf and Federal league aggregations which will be operated by President Charles H. Weeghman and his Federal league associates;
 and the St. Louis Federals and Ma tionals, which will also become the property nf the hitherto 'findepen- dent" promoters. These deals are m ore than probable.
 Harry Sinclair, millionaire presi- dent of the Newark club; Ed Gwin- ner. another wealthy Fed owner, and who had the Pittsburgh franchise,t and the Ward interests of Brooklyn, are likely itc be given a chance to buy into other National league organiza- tions, but thus far nothing definite has been announced.

AGREEMENT WITH GREECE.

Paris, Dec 15.--The allies have con- cluded military agreement with the Greek government. containing the fol- lowing provisions:
 First, the Greek troops shall tenn porarily withdraw to allow free pas sage to an invading Bulgarian or AustrO-German army.
 Second, the allies are authorized to remain at Saloniki and fortify them- selves there.
 Third, Greece undertakes to reduce her contingents occupying the forts and batteries at the entrance to the Gulf of Saloniki.
 Greece has already begun the exc cution of the first proviso. A dis patch to the Temps from Saloniki states that the government has or dered the Fifth Greek army corps to withdraw from Saloniki.
 Allies Save All Supplies.
 Paris, Dec. 15.-The Temps pub fishes dispatch from Saloniki cor roborating the report that all French and British troops have retired from Serbian territory into Greece with virtually all their supplies and with comparatively small losses in men.
 The assertion made in official Bull garian communications that the Franco British line had been cut is not borne out by the correspondent, who says:
 Efforts to envelop or cut of our lines failed"
 The Mathis Saloniki correspondent says it is learned from good au- thority that Bulgarian troops have entered Greek territory in the Stru- mitza region. n.s.
