will be preserved for future use, and
it is even settled that in a number of
states the Progressives are to take
part in this presidential campaign!
So much l gather from the confer

About 80 states were represented,

among those who had achieved a po-
sition in history with Benedict Ar

Then the remaining faithful pro-
ceeded to read out Of the Progressive
party all committeeman and others
who had declared for Hughes. This
is to be followed by filling the vacanta
committee places and demanding the
archives, the treasurer's funds and
other paraphernalia of the party or

These demands are UnquestiOna-

with no head to the ticket-no
presidential nominee?" asked a dele
gate from Michigan.
why have a head to the ticket?
l am the regular Progressive party
candidate for vice president. This
gives us a right to a list of presiden-
tial electors on the ballot. That rep
resents the party and gives the voter
a chance to vote his Progressive
principles.
''If we should elect enough Pro-
gressiVe electors to control the cleo
toral college, it will be easy enough
to instruct these electors to choose
some good man of the Progressive
party. Why not go ahead as we are
and where we can?"
On this prospect the plans for an
other convention and another pres
idential candidate were Immediately
dropped.
In only about half the states can a
Progressive fight be made.
The Roosevelt-Perkins detection
took along about 20 states the
party machinery out of the hands of
the real PrOgressives and prevents
any possibility of having a Progress
siVe column on the ballot.
The last-ditch Progressives will
have to make their fight in the states
where the organization is in the
hands of loyal committeeman.
This is true of Indiana. Michigan,
New Jersey, Missouri, Utah, Iowa,
Connecticut, Maine, Montana, Louis
lana, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Flor
ida, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Tennessee
and possibly half a dozen other
states.

5 OUT OF 8 GAMES HOME FOR YANKS
That Is New Plan for Playing
1917 World Series.
Baseball Magnates Holding I'm
pOrtant Conferences.

New York Dec. 12.-BaSeball mag
mates representing the National and
International leagues and the Ameri-
can association are assembled here
for a series of conferences which are
expected to continue for the better
part of the week. The International
league began its annual meeting
Monday with a conference with COM
mittees appointed to represent the
American association relative to
series of inter-league games at the
end of the regular pennant season.
The National leagues annual meet
ing begins today but a majority of the
club owners were on hand Monday
prepared for what is expected to be
a conference of more than usual i'm
portance. Important questions were
discussed Informally by the magnates
and it appeared to be the general i'm
preston that before the annual meet
ing adjourned there would be legisla-
ton passed with far reaching effect
upon the professional end of the ma
tional sport. One of the chief sub
jects of discussion was proposed
changes in the rules governing the
worlds series.
Make Series Longer.
Several magnates expressed the
opinion that radical changes would be
adopted by the National league and
submitted to the American league for
ratification. Gerry Hermann, chair
man of the national commission, and
president of the Cincinnati club, stat
ed he was heartily in favor of playing
the 1917 series under an entirely diff
ferent system from the one govern
ing those of the last few years.
Hermann advocated a series based
upon the winning of five out of nine
games; lower prices of admission and
the distribution of a portion of the
players share of the receipts among
the members of the second, third and
fourth teams in>the order of their fin
ish at the close of the pennant race.
If the winning and losing players
pool was taxed 25 per cent or some
similar proportion and this sum di-
vided among the players of the second,
third and fourth clubs in each league.
the players would be doing what the
two leagues had compelled the win
ming club owners to do for several
years.

Queretaro, Mex, Dec. IA de-

the salaries of all employees shall be

October decree, a modification con-
sidered necessary on account of tile
economic situation and for the protec-
ton of the working classes.
Another decree fixes the assess

eight years. has announced, following
his dismissal by the university authori-
ties for not preventing a strike among
his players before the Thanksgiving
day game, that he never intends to
coach another team. California and
some of his other rivals undoubtedly
hope that he will stick to his resolu-
ton.

the third major league is put into
operation at the earliest possible mo-,
ment. Pa thinks it will give Omaha
chance to get into faster company, and
Pa believes in hitting a lively pace al
ways.

JESS SHOWS BIG HEART
Kansas Champion VIII Stage Big
Carnival for Xmas Charity.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Jess Willard will
appear in and entirely finance an ath-
letic carnival for charity here before
Christmas. it became known today.
The champion and his manager,
Tom Jones, are willing to rent hall
and bring boxers and wrestlers here
for the big event.
I'D like to go out with a bunch
of Christmas baskets among the kid
dies" said Jess today. "And l will,
too. But 1 can't visit all so we will
need organized charity to help. The
show ought to bring money enough to
feed a lot of families Christmas day."
Willard resented insinuations that
his only interest in the proposed Car
pentier Red Cross benefit bout was
mercenary.
