Comiskey, owner of the White Sox,
and Charles Weeghman. president OF
the Cubs, are to be asked to arrange
the spring training trips Of their
teams SO they can play a couple Of
games here before the big league sea-
sons open. Camp Grant could scrape
up splendid baseball outfit and put
team on the diamond that would
make both the champion White Sox
and the ambitious Cubs hustle at the
start Of the season. There are among
the selected men some former big
league stars and quite a number OF
the semi-pro players. who would want
nothing better than tryout against
the champions and the aspiring cham
pions
Captain Lawrence Whiting, who led
the football team to victory against
Camp Custer, probably would not be
here to act as leader of the baseball
team. if the plan of having the Sox
and Cubs play games here, as suggest
ed to Major Orville ]. Taylor, is car
ried out, as he has been ordered to
Washington.

Jack Hendricks of the Cardinals held

tened in on the conversation, which

would trust the other.

business" said Hendricks, Il made an
agreement with Mitchell that we
wouldn't talk baseball if we met You
see we are not and so we have both
kept our New Years resolution. Of
course, | can't keep others from talk
ing, and if the big bosses insist on
keeping alive the Hornsby matter l
have no objection"
Mitchell has not given up hope of
accomplishing something for the cause
before he leaves for home He has
decided to hang around town this week
and then accompany President Weegh-
man to Cincinnati Monday. Fred does
not know what Cincy has in store for
him, but has hopes. He might bump
into Barney Dreyfuss down there,
which at least will give. him a chance
OF listening to some good stories. In
the meantime Weeghmap will not ask
waivers on his check book.
Mitchell expects to move his family
to Chicago next month. Jack Hen

Some Swapping of Players May Take
Place at Conference--Weeghman

Chicago, Jan. 3.-For some reason
not made known baseball magnates
are planning to assemble in Cincin-
natl next Monday The occasion for
the gathering is the annual meeting of
the national commission. But the ma
tional commission consists of Garry
Hermann, Ban johnson and John X.

years for this trio to meet and elect
Hermann chairman of the body for
another year.
1t isn't necessary that President
Weeghman Of the Cubs, President
Dreyfuss Of the Pirates, President
Hickey Of the Cardinals and lot more
club owners to be present, for they
have nothing to do with the meeting.
However, 1t looks as II a dozen or
more of the 16 big league clubs will
be represented at this commission
meeting. None of them has been call
ed, but there seems to be a general
feeling in the baseball atmosphere
that it would be we'll to have an in
formal gathering and talk over plans
Of conducting baseball under war con-
ditions.
There may be some trading done at
the Cincinnati session. Weeghman and
Mitchell have agreed to meet the boss
es Of the st. Louis Cardinals for that
purpose. They also expect to meet
the boss of the Brooklyns and the
boss of the Pirates, and they will
carry along the bank roll.

That there may be some sort of
trade between Cubs and Cardinals next

While baseball men were wondering
who would be picked to manage the
