Special TO The Washington Herald
Cincinnati, Ohio. Jan. 6.-The postpone
ment of the National League meeting
scheduled for today wrote the word
'finis" on the baseball powwowing here
today. and most of the masnates and Of
ficials have left the city for their respec-
tive homes.
A resume OF the three days OF confab-
ing shows that nothing was accomplished
other than the sale of the Chicago Cubs
and the widening of the breach between
the owners of the Baltimore Federsls
and the baseball peace faction.
Not a trade was made during the entire
meeting Harry Sinclair turned down all
offers until such time as he knows def
nitely whether he can secure the New
York Giants.
Sinclair Makes Statement.
Before leaving for New York this aft
ernoon Sinclair said that he had made
his best offer for the Giants, but that
his bid, and the price asked by the Giant
owners were very far apart.
81 want the Giants and I'm going to
try to get them. but at my price," said
Sinclair. IF I can't get them for the
sum named by me originally, / won't take
them at ALL"

and then quitting the town, was like the
hurling of a bombshell into the ranks of

worried and seem to fear that the Baltl-
more people may kick the props from un-
der the peace platform.
1t would not be surprising II the Balti

merger was effected without its official
consent, lined up other disgruntied Fed

We are hopelessly In the minority. The
meeting involved seven voting represen-
tatiVes, four of them being from organ

and Barrow, against three of us-GI-
more, Robertson. of Buffalo, and myself
what chance had we OF winning in a
fight?"
Harry Sinclair, who was one Of the
principals in the framing Of the peace
pact asserted today that none OF the
disgruntled Federal LeagUers had even
"a ghost Of a chance of bringing on a
renewal of warfare.
Baltimore has no justifable kick -
said Sinclair. Just before the peace ne
gotiations began the Federal League
magnates had meeting at which they
appointed a committee consisting Of Gil
more, Weeghman and myself with DOW
er to act for the league. We acted as
we thought was best for all concerned
and Baltimore and all other clubs must
be bound by the arrangements We made
We tried TO adjust as fairly as pos
siole, but no peace arrangements Of any
KIND ever will completely satisfy all par
ties involved"
What Baltimore Wants.
Sinclair said he was not in a posi-
ton to state the demands of the
Baltimore faction. but it is known
that they want any one of the three
following concessions:
Ftrst-The transfer of ma jor
league franchise, preferably the St
Louis Cardinals, to Baltimore.
Second-An International League
franchise for its club. together with
cash settlement OF about 100000 to
compensate it for its loss of the Fed
cral League franchise
Third-Complete reimbursement -sfn
the sum of about 100000 for its in
Vestment in Federal League fran
chise, for which consideration IL will
quit baseball.
Organized baseball and the Federal
League committee have turned down
these demands.
The peace pact complete cannot be
signed until the Baltimore situation
is cleared up and the makeup of the
1916 international League circuit
must be held in abeyance until that
time. The refusal of the Baltimore
people to deal further with the peace
committee until such time as a concrete
and acceptable proposition is presented"
therefore brings about what is feared to
be a hopeless deadlock

MAY COACH W. AND ].
Rumor Has 1t that Hollenback VIII
Land the Job.

Philadelphia. Jan. 6.-While Penn play
ers. students and alumni were congratu-
lating themselves upon obtaining Bob
Folwell as coach of the football team for
next fall, a rumor was started at Frank
lin Field yesterday that Bill Hollenbsck
is to get FolwelIs old position at Wash
ington and Jefferson.
Hollenback said he did not apply for
the Job and had heard nothing direct
from the Washington Pa.) College. 1t
seems that a lot of Bills friends, in case
he does not accept the assistant position
at Penn, would like to see him go to w.

well left of.
Penn students want Hollenback as an
assistant to Folwell. but IT is a question

Failure TO retain the ownership of the
