COMMISH TO MAKE
NEW CONTRACTS
MAGNATES MUST PROTECT THEM.
SELVES IF UNSETTLED CON-
DlTIONS STOP GAME.

New York. Dec 27.-The most in
volved problem to come before the an
nual meeting of the national baseball
commission at Cincinnati on January
Z is the new form Of players contract
to be adopted by organized ball for
the next season. On account of the I'M
settled conditions it is believed that
some kind of wartime clause will be
inserted to protect club owners in. the
event that the championship season is
interrupted by the war. The new
clause was discussed by both the Ma
tional and American leagues at their
recent meetings but the matter was
placed in the hands of the national
commission.
Although the movement is opposed
by the more prosperous clubs in both
leagues, there is strong sentiment
among the majority of the clubs to
make general cut in players sal
aries. The new clause which Is now
being considered by the legal advisers
Of the commission will make some sort
of provision that the club owners may
be protected In the event the season
ends before theNschedule is played

GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago. Dec. 27.-Eotice that the
government would take possession Of
the railroads had a bearish effect today
on the corn market A majority of
traders inclined to the belief that the
government action would tend to re-
suit in a larger movement OF grain
from the interior to the principal ter
minals. Selling based on this theory,
however, was not OF an aggressive
character. Opening prices which rang
ed from unchanged figures to X o.
lower, with January $l.2sA to u and
May $1.24h to * were followed by a
moderate setback all around.
Scarcity Of arrivals brought about a
little rally later but failed to give the
market any lasting strength except in
tho December delivery. Peace talk was
bearish factor. Prices closed steady
January 3l.2sA OK and May $1.24k a
y with tho finish as whole varying
from Ac decline to Nc advance COM
pared with twenty -four hours before.
Although At hrSt oats showed con-
siderable strength the market later
took . downward swing with corn. The
initial uptuYn was ascribed to q fore
cast Of much colder weather and to
likelihood Of export sales.
Provisions were irregular and dun.

Gibbons. the ST. Paul Phantom, NAV
meet again in February, for the bene-
tit Of Camp Dodge and Camp Nc
Arthur.
The wheels are already revolving to
bring about this match. The match
may be held at the Coliseum in Chi
cago, but should the state executive
object the match will be transferred to
Camp Sheridan, where the state holds
no authority. Gibbons. in telegram
from st. Paul. has expressed himself
as being willing to enter the ring with
Packey and all he wants to know is
where the fight is to take place and
the date
The match no doubt would attract a
great deal Of attention. Mcfarland
was given the decision over Gibbons
in a bout held at Madison Square Gar.
den some time ago. Both men are good
fighters and their appearance in the
ring would add thousands Of dollars to
the two camp funds.
