BASEBALL HEADS MEET.
National Baseball Commits
sion Holds Annual
Meeting Today.

Cincinnati, Jan. 1.--BaSoball men
from almost every part Of the country
began gathering here tonight for the
annual meeting of the National base
bail commission tomorrow. While the
commission meeting has been called
for 10 a. m. it is highly probable that
il will be hours later before the SD
rreme court of baseball really begins
its work, inusmuch as there has been a
special meeting called of the club
owners of the three class IA leagues,
which has as an indicated object the
adoption of suitable resolution for
presentation to the commission, asking
that the drafting of players from class
IA leagues be abolished
While nothing official has been an
nOunced by the commission as to how
il will look upon this demand, yet it
has been unofficialiy indicated by
President Johnson of the American
league that the request would be de-
MED.
That the class "A leagues intend ~
press the matter with energy is indi-
Gated by the special meeting called for
tomorrow and while every club presi-
dent of the American association and
of the International league is expected
here, it is hardly probable that the Pa
cific Coast league will be represented
10y more than one man.
1t is likewise probable that a large
nlll1Ipr of m ip,.
Will be in attendance as a number Of
other matters that have to do with
the relation between the major and
minor. league clubs are believed to be
ON the list of matters to be considered
ly the commission.
The election of officers for the COM
mission also will be held. but il has
become an assured fact during the last
week that both Chairman August
Hermann and Secretary John +,
Bruce will be reelected the announce
mcnt from Chicago that President
Johnson of the American league had
stated that he saw no reason to make
q change, putting an end to numerous
rumors Of the past six months that
the commission would have Il new head
in the person Of some one not afflli-
aicd with either major league
1t was understood here tonight that
matters concerning the prices charged
for world series games. as well as a re-
arrangement Of the division of the
proceeds Of the series will likely come
before the commission at this meeting,

DOWNER MAY COACH
WASHINGTON TEAMS

old Dame Rumor has George F.
o"""r, former superintendent of the
lutte city schools and for three wears
coach of the Butte high school football
eleven. appointed successor to Gilmour
Dohie as gridiron mentor at the Uni
Nersity of Washington.
Downer turned out three successive
championship teams at Butte, and it is
said that the Washington athletic
committee considers this sufficient
recommendation. Last year, when
Dohie resigned, Downer was considered
rs his logical successor according to
Graduate Manager Younger, but when
Dohie returned all negotiations were
called off
Although Butte teams were consist
ent winners during Downer's reign. If
is believed that Duke" Schroeder. who
helped coach the team, did even more
towards its success than Downor. and
it seems hardly probable that he will
obtain the Seattle coaching job. Claude
Hunt is the logical choice. though The
Carleton coach, who is at present ont
lii Seattle comforting with the Wash
ineton authorities, is said to he rathe,
reluctant about alandon..g the splen-
did position he has at the Minnesota
college.

ers. He was invited to make the trip
by Charles II. Wecgham. president of
the club, and he announced his ac-
ccptance recently.
Evans amateur standing will not be
affected, it was explained, as he will
not receive any money for his services.
He merely will be Il guest of Presiden,
Wceghman on the trip.
Mr.. Weeghman believes that Evans
will be able to improve the batting Of
every player on the team.
There is form in the driving of q
golf bal},' he said. but there is not in
driving "a baseball. Applying the form
of golf to baseball was responsible for
the driving power of Frank Schultz
and Hcinc Zimmerman. 1t NAV be
argued that Schultz knew nothing
about golf, but he unconsciously used
the same swing"
Evans is one of the few expert golf
"rs who can drive Il ball high or low
as he may desire. He is ranked among
the longest drivers in the world, al -
though he confesses that he never
practices with his wooden clubs as the
swing is so easy when the iron clubs
have been mastered

Wishing You and Yours

Take it, or leave it, as you wish,
Since that part of the annual muss
Is up to you-and not to us.
If it should he that pop eyed Fate
Has landed on your chest
III it should be that thumbs were down
Each time YOU faced the test
We trust that what remains of you
Has gathered from the skit
That he who plays the scrimmage out
VIII get his share of it.;
We trust that on Times natal day
Along the busy mart,
Enough of you remains intact
To try another start:
That you have carnered from defeat,
That Fate has taught you more
Than bitterness against the break
That scrambled up your score.
If it should be Dame Fortunes gift
Has added to your loot
If you have nicled your share of it.
And something else to boot
We trust that you have learned enough
To pickle it in store.
And that your head can still maintain
The hat it held before.
Ne light and frothy happiness
We wish against the test,
But rather a renewed resolve
To kick in with your best;
To keep your eye upon the pill
The While you swing the bat,
To meet the scramble as it comes
And let it go at that.
