BOXING SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BASEBALL

We had been assured that peace
negotiations had been completed be-
tween the Federals and organized
baseball and that all was serene and
rosy. The Feds had capitulated I'M
conditionally and two of their owners
were to be allowed to buy into the
older leagues.
And now it is eased to us that the
peace session between the third
leaguers and the national commits
sion, representing organized base
ball, must be postponed for week
or ten days because Harry Sinclaim
is dickering for control of the Giants
and will secure it some time this
week.
This information doesn't sound
like the line of stuff disseminated for
the last few weeks. Sinclair, we were
told, had been positively left out and
would have to worry along the best
way he could, reconciling himself to
losing a bunch of coin, with no
chance to get it back This in the
face of the fact that Sinclair carries
the buIkiest bankroH in the Federal
league.
And bankroIIs, of course, are no
object to the organized people.
Sinclair and the Giant combination
are still differing on the price at
which the club viii change hands, but |
there is an optimistic air to the affair
