The national commission will hold q
very important meeting IN new 1 OLA
Tener agreed to hold this session aiter
a short chat last Friday, when Jonn-
son was compelled to hurry DICK ~
Chicago to arrange the final details o.
the Cleveland clubs sale TO James u
Two cases will be taken up by the
commission. One is the Brookiyn
clubs claim of $4,000 against the
Newark International League CLUB:
The other is the adjustment OF the feos
status in Baltimore and Bunaio.
According to terms of the peace
agreement signed last December all
the Federal League clubs. except Kan

Wards in Brooklyn Will receive $4o0'-
900 in the next twenty years from the
two major leagues. E. W. Gwinner of
Pittsburgh will recover some OF MS
losses by the sale of players and the
receipt of about 100000 from organized
base ball. Weeghman and Bali OF the
ly, already have obtained the Cubs and
Browns. Sinclair, who dropped $ils,,
900 in the Newark venture, has soid

Miller Higgins naturally is pleased
with the fact that the Brittons have
not sold the Cardinals and have de-
clined to dabble in Federal League
playing material. The diminutive man
ager believes his team will mako the
pennant race extremely interesting in
the National League. But it doesn't
look that way on paper. Huggins has
decided not to play any longer, SO Bet
eel will succeed him At second base base
at third and Roy Corhan at short. The
outfielders probably will be Long. Bes-
cher and Wilson: the catchers. Snyder
Gonzales and Brotton, and the pitch
ers, Doak. Ames. Sallee, Griner. Mead
ows. Steele, Hall, Williams, Lamline
and WARRIOR. =
Higgins admits he will have to save
Ames and Sallee for the hot weather
Hall is the old Red sox pitcher who
left the American League two years
ago. WARRIOR was discarded by the
Yankees last summer.
