New Orleans, La, Nov. l6.-Louis-
Vile, Ky, was selected to-day for the
next annual convention OF the National
Association of Professional Baseball
Leagues, meeting here.
Much important business was dis
posed of during the days session, in
GLIDING the controversy regarding q
proposition for minor league represen-
tation in the National Baseball Com
mission. After extended discussion

ton of a board of five members TO be

ization and all matters in controversy
between the major and minor leagues.

secretary of the minors association,

and American leagues and fifth mem
Der. "who shall in no way be connected

neutral" member would act as chair
man.
This plan was adopted after brief
discussion. and the chairman, upon au.
thority from the convention, appointed

N. Y. u. VARSITY
GETS EVEN WITH
SCRUB PLAYERS
Warman Stars with Run for
Sixty Yards Around
the End

Scrimmage from start to finish was
the programme of the n. Y. U. eleven
at Ohio Field yesterday afternoon. The
varsity once more battled against the
scrub and succeeded in getting re-
venge for the defeat of the day be-
fore. The score was "a TO in favor
of tho first string men.
Most Of the varsity scoring came
early in the contest, before the scrub
had settled down. Hammerschlag was
the first man TO score. After the var
sity had worked up to within strik-
ing distance Of the second teams goal
line he wormed through the line for Il
l0-yard gain and a touchdown. Macken-
zie made the second tally in practi-
cally the same fashion.
An end run by Warman was the best
play tried. He got past the line and
by series of spirits and turns got to
the goal line just before he was
tackled. His dash covered sixty yards.
Draper, of the scrub. scored the
three points for his team by a 30-yard
field goal.
Howard Cam practised kicking from
placement for a long time early in the
afternoon. Only on two trials did he
fail to boot the ball over the bar.
The football management has finally
received satisfactory reply from the
faculty concerning the suggestion of
Coach Eustis to allow the men to leave
early from classes. in order TO be on
the field before it gets too dark to
play. From now on until the Column
bia game the entire squad will be ex-
cused in time for practice. The whole
university is out TO beat the Columbia

COMMISSION UPHOLDS
SIOUX CITY PLAYER

Cincinnati, Nov. 16.-The National
Baseball Commission to-day refused
the Sioux City club. of the Western
League, n rehearing of the Kane case
and ordered that team to pay the player
a former salary award in full within
a period Of five days under the penalty
Of forfeiture Of protection both for
Sioux City and the Western League. q,
The case originally attracted unusual
attention, because Kane proved TO the
satisfaction of the triumvirate that he
was the victim OF a working gentle
mans agreement" among Western
League club owners. These minor
magpetes framed a verbal law that no
cluI b the circuit could accept the
serS is Of player released by a rival
tearF without paying said releasing
club the sum OF $500. the leagues
waiver price. This so-called gentle
mems agreement was in direct viola
ton Of organized baseball law.

ten-round bout at the Clermont A. =

that didn't help much last night. For
some unknown reason the main bout
was not put on until ll:05 o'clock, al
though the rules OF the State Athletic
Commission call for the boxers in the

Miske in all of his local bouts has
shown that he can fight when he wants

Levinsky, and he got 1t on the day that
Levinsky's manager discovered that
Levinsky was the only logical man TO
fight Jess Willard.
While the affair is slated to go ten,
it is certain that Moha will try TO make
it shorter. He is in hurry to get
that sirloin before he forgets how one
feels when taken internally.

automobiles have been sold for cash.
And now all this Is threatened by
the introduction OF the installment plan
Of buying. The present scramble on
the part OF these hastily organized
trust companies and certain manu-
facturers to force automobiles into the
hands of everybody who has a few
dollars-regardless of the fact that that
the time part of the contract is likely
to work a severe hardship upon the
purchaser and his family--is the worst
thing that has happened In my entire
business experience. II persisted In I
believe many purchasers win impose
an obligation upon themselves which
they will find hard to meet.
I am well aware that automobiles
are now and have been for some years
sold on time under certain restricted
conditions. In many cases / believe
such transactions come within well ac-
cepted terms of sound business prac-
tice, especially where dealer sells an
automobile TO a worthy customer, and
where arrangements can be made to
finance the loan at home. In such
cases there Is no risk for the dealer,

entirely different than Is the case when
the paper is sold to and held by an
outside trust company"

few dollars saved It would be unwise
in my opinion, for him to put all his
his savings as part payment for a car.
Because he can make the initial de-
post is no assurance that he can,
without working hardship upon him
self and perhaps his family, get enough
money together to meet notes for $500
or $1,000 more-notes which for any
thing else but an automobile would
