initial year a two-season schedule
was played but since 1898 the pen
nant race has been along the lines of
the majors.
Providence with six championship
pennants to its credit leads all the
cities, which have at various times
held membership in the organiza-
ton. Rochester comes next with five
and Buffalo and Toronto are tied with
four each while Binghamton, Erie,
Syracuse, Springfield. Montreal, Jer-
sey City, Baltimore and Newark have
each captured one titular flag.
The outcome of the conference is
likely to have a distinct bearing upon
the decision of other minor leagues
in relation to their plans for the COM
ing season. Several of these organi-
cations are in rather an uncertain
frame of mind regarding the
financial outlook for baseball on
the smaller circuits during 1913
and are likely to be swayed, to some
extent, by the example set by the In
ternational League club owners Up
to the present time less than half of
the leagues which began the 1917

WHEN LAKES ARE DRAINED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY FISH GO

 Property of the State.
Little Rock

Little Rock According to an opinion handed down by Attorney General Arbuekle, fish in lakes on private property, where the lakes have no connection with running streams, are the proper ty of the owners of the land on which the lakes are located, and if it be- comes necessary to drain such lakes the owners have right to sell the fish in bulk, lots or in any other man. ner.
 Parties in St. Francis county wish to drain a lake into the St. Francis River, but before beginning work asked Judge Mellhorn to inquire of the attorney general whether they had a legal right to dispose of the fish.
 The attorney generals opinion also said that where a lake, although on private property, is connected with a stream, the owner of the lake, in case of drainage, must permit the fish to escape into the stream or streams, ex- cept such fish as he can catch by means prescribed by the state laws. MT Arbuckle held that temporary stopage of outlet or the fact that the connecting stream bed is sometimes dry, does not affect the proposition that fish in such lakes are the prop erty of the state.

New York.-The peace negotiations between the Bolsheviki and the repre- sentauyes of the quadruple alliance at BrestLitovsk continue, but without definite results. Another delay in the assembling of the Constitutional As semIy is likely because of the issu- ance of a decree at Petrograd provid- ing for new elections to replace mem bers of the Constituent Assembly who are deemed not fit to represent the interests of the workmen and peas ants
 According to reports from the Rus sian capital, Northern Russia is to receive ample food supplies from UE- raine, through the reconciliation of the Bolsheyiki and the Ukrainians. Every effort has been made in the last few weeks by the BolsheYik au- thorities to prevent the threatened famine in Petrograd and other cities of Russia where the BolsheYiki hold the power.
 It is also semi-oficially reported from Petrograd that the BolshsYiki have taken control at Noyo Tcher- kassk, capital of the province of the Don Cossacks and headquarters Of General Kaledines, hetmaR of the Cos sacks.
 The London Daily Mail reports the establishment by the British govern ment of informal relations with Max i+1yir0 Ta1a-f1xr anrOfyT16 hty the BolsheYik government as Russian ambassador at London. The explana ton of this, according to the Mail is that possibly Lenine and TrotZky, If they retain the, de facto power, might eventually give heed to the counsel of the allied governments and it is not desirable that communication with Petrograd be cut off.
