The plan is to remove the draft from
these cities comprising the new major

raising the clubs to major league rat

would the new league be given rep

asked of President Johnson.

NITRATE DEPOSITS SMALL.
Geological Survey Warns Against
Stcck-Se!ling Enterprises.

Warning against stock-selling enter
Drises exploiting nitrate deposits in the
United States has been given by the
geological survey. The importance OF
finding a natural supply Of nitrates
within the country, which might serve
its needs in case of war. has given
great incentive to Investigations and
directed widespread public attention to
the subject, according to the survey
After a two-year investigation the geo.
logical experts report:
"ProspectorS in many places have
raised great hopes by finding good sur
face showings of nitrate salts. but in
vestigation has seemed to force the ac-
ceptance of a general adverse judg-
ment as to their value, a judgment that
has been adopted with the greatest re-
luctance by all concerned.
Incidentally, advantage seems to
have been taken of the situation to pro-
mote certain stock selling enterprises.
even after the evidence as to the worth
lessness of the deposits became sufii-
cient to satisfy any competent judge.

the good faith of the promoters or their

can League meeting held in New York
December IL. He announced yesterday
that the gathering would be held at the
La Sale Hotel, in Chicago, on that
date
When Johnson first took up the mat
ter of where the meeting was to be held
he was anxious to have it at the same
time that the National League was in
session. so that the two leagues could
confer as to the players complaints. but
he evidently considers this unnecessary.

being held in Chicago

WILL GATHER IN CHICAGO
Annual Meeting Of American League
Moguls Carded for December
IL in Windy City.

CHICAGO, November 21.-Ban John
son. president of the American League.
announced last night that the annual
meeting Of the league will be held at
the Hotel Lasalle in Chicago, Decem-
Der Il.
One of the chief topics of discussion
at the meeting will be the demands
made by the Players Fraternity. The
players are said to have banded them
selves firmly together to prevent any
cuts in salaries that are predicted with
the demise OF the Federal League. Sew
eral magnates have announced their
intentions of taking a generous slice
out of the salaries of players whose
wartime contracts expire this year
There are only about twenty play
ers in both leagues who hold contracts
for 1917. The others will refuse to
sign new contracts, it is said. unless
the fraternity is granted Its request for
new form of contract
The plan to form a new board CT ar

will also come up for discussion. ]. Cal
Ewing, president of the San Francisco
club Of the Pacific Coast League. was
in Chicago today comforting with Ban
Johnson on this matter No decision
was reached between Ewing and John
son. Ewing was instructed by the Ma
tional Association at it's New Orleans
meeting to negotiate for such COM
mission. 1t is not intended that this
board should take the place of the ma
tional commission. although that was
originally suggested. The new board
would decide cases arising out of dis
putes between major and minor leagues
and between the minor leagues them
selves.
The plan to reorganize the national
commission. it is expected. will also
come up for discussion, but it is ire
dicted that that is about as far as It
will get. il ii progresses that far.
The sale OF the Boston Red Sox to
Harry Frazee and his associates also
will be ratified by the club owners.
