higher political sagacity. Tie practi-

conception, he contended, was to be

MEETINGS WILL
HERALD. SPORTS
TRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ


NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Three meet
inss which will have a direct and i'm
port bearing upon baseball and tennis
during the coming season will be held
here next week, the National league
magnates meeting on Tuesday and
Wednesday, those of the American
league on Thursday, while on Friday
will be held the annual meeting of the
National Lawn Tennis association.
The adoption of the 1918 schedule
and other routine business compose
the programs of both the National
league and American league. although
there is always the possibility of inn
portant player deals or other unex-
pected developments. 1t is probable
there will be an attempt by the Ma
tional league to pass rule curtailing
the big cash deals for players which
have grown to such proportions this
winter as to create dissatisfaction
among both players and magnates not
profiting thereby.
Magnates of both leagues will hold
either formal or informal conferences
relative to the war tax to be col
lected on all tickets this season and
the settlement Of obligations incurred
with Federal league hackers at the
time of the peace agreement two years
ago.
Delegates to the tennis association
meeting will vote upon the executive
committees recommendation as to
