Leagues to Hold Joint Conference Soon

playing in the league if a resolution to be introduced at the annual meet ing of the league tomorrow should be adopted. President Ban Johnson said tonight that resolution had been prepared for submission to the meet ing, but he withheld the name of the club owner who drew it.
 Radical retrenchment will be the policy adopted for the 1919 season. President Johnson said that while the club owners did not favor reducing the present player limit of twenty-fi five, they would not carry any more play CTS than absolutely necessary on the road trips and that the club trainers probably will be left at home.

New York, Dec. 11.-Aside from oils, motors and other speculative spe- cialties, which registered gross gains of two to eight points, today's stock market presented no features of in tetest. Trading was light, easier money conditions failing to stimulate public support.
 The petroleum group contributed far more than it's usual quota, Mexican Recording gross gain of elght points after an early setback, while Royal Dutch, Texas Company and Pan American common and preferred made extreme advances of two to four points.
 U. S. Steel and associated issues were steady to firm during the early and intermediate periods, but fell back later. Rails were apathetic through out, even the secondary or low priced shares of that division evincing none of their recent activity or strength.
 Motors were very irregular, mainly in consequence of the uncertain move ment of Studebaker, which suffered from further selling pressure in con nection with the company's proposed financing.

PROMOTERS SUE JESS
 WILLARD FOR $25.

New York, Dec. 11.-Jess Willard, heavyweight champion of the world, vas made the defendant in |. $2i,, ,0e0 suit brought in the supreme court bere today by two prominent promo ters, Tom Jones and Jack Curiey, who formerly acted as his managers.
 It is alleged that Willard ceased paying the two promoters 8 commis- sion of 10 per cent. Of his income from boxing and theatrical exhibitions when he bought the Jess Willard Wild West Show in June, 1917. In the bill of complaint Jones declared that he and Cufley were largely responsible for Willard's success, and stated that che champion received S4,00O week dur ing the season of 1916 as the star at traction of ''101 Ranch"
 The court dismissed the complaint on the ground that no proof had been presented to show Willard's income after buying the wild vest Show. The plaintiffs attorneys said they had been unable to do this because Will lard had been out of the state and his counsel had refused to produce his books. They were allowed fifteen days in which to appeal.

New York. Dec. 11.-With action on several proposed changes in baseball held in abeyance until after the sug- gested conference with the American League, the annual meeting of the Ma tional League was adjourned here to- day subject to the cali of President Heydier
 In making this announcement, the newly elected executive of the senior league said that there had been gen eral discussion rgarding the non-re- call of waivers, limitation of player rcsters; 1919 schedules; number of games and other details, but the, league declined to go on record in any of these matters until after the joint conference. Therefore, he said, ac- ton had been postponed until a spe- cial meeting or that to be held in Feb ruary.
 Mir. Heydler said that he represented the spirit and opinion of the National League club owners when he stated thata a general meeting of the big in- terests in baseball was vital at this time, in order that better under standing might be reached among all those who were interested financially or otherwise in the game. More CO., operation and business harmony in the essentials of the sport were what the National League was striving for, according to MT. Heydler, and it was believed that leaders of tho American League would view the situation in the same light.
 While the National League appeared to favor a conclave of the sixteen club owners of the two major organi- cations, Mr. Heydler was empowered to appoint a committee of any size agreeable to the American League in case that body decided for a commit tee conference instead of a meeting of the two, leagues as whole The time and place were also left open to suit the convenience of the junior league, but it was pointed out that such a conference should be held as soon as possible in order to arrange for such changes as might be adopted before the annual meeting of the Ma tional Commission, scheduled for Jan- uary 6.
 Mir. Heydler stated that in the in formal discussions of baseball mat ters today there was no fixed majority opinion, but rather variance upon d number of points. This, he said, clearly indicated the desirability of a general meeting where all matters might be frtely discussed and a ma jority vote obtained upon each ques- ton separately.
