ed Game, IA to 8.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. November 23.-In
a game marked by fumbles and ragged
playing Wisconsin defeated Ohio
State here today by a score of IA to 3.

formation and the second in the final
period, when he intercepted an Ohio
State forward pass on his own 20
yard line. Sundt kicked both goals.

line with ease, but after Smith made
his first touchdown the green Ohio
team went to pieces and Wisconsin
stiffened. Early in the first period
Wiper failed at a field goal. but was
more successful in the second period,
dropping a beautiful kick over the
goal from the 25-yard line. In the
third period Ohio State pushed the
ball to Wisconsin's 1-yard line, but
lacked the punch to put it over.

WHTAFT CONSIDERING OFFER (
TO HEAD ORGANIZED BALL
Former President, However, Withholds
Acceptance or Refusal of Position
asLeader of Diamond Sport.

NEW YORK, November 23.-For-
has been offered the position OF sole
member of the nationa! commission
of the National and American leagues,
according to announcement here to-
night by H. N. Hampstead, president
of the New York Nationals, and
Harry Frazee. prsident of the Bos-
ton Americans. Mr.. Taft is said to
be considering the offer.
Acceptance by Mr.. Taft would mean
the passing of the present national
commission, which is composed OF
the two league presidents and a
third member, and, it is said. would
shear B. B. johnson, president OF
the American League, of the powers
which have earned for him the title
of base ball Dictator The Offices
of the new "one-man commission"
would be in New York.
The offer to Mr.. Taft is said to
have been made without the knowl-
edge of western presidents of the
two leagues. All of the eastern club
presidents are said to have approved
the offer, and this would give the
originators of the idea sufficient votes
to carry the proposal.
The national commission at pres
ent has only two members. former
Gov. John K. Tener of Pennsylvania
having relinquished his seat on the
cmmission when he recently resigned
the presidency of the National
League. Mr.. Johnson and August
Hermann, president of the Cincin-
natl Nationals, are the present mem
bers. John A. Heydler, acting presi-
dent of the National League, sat as
a member of the commission in ar
ranging for the 1918 world series,
but he sat under special authorize
tion from the American League.
NEW YORK. November 23.-The
conference between Messrs. Taft,
Hampstead and Frazee was held in
this city today, and Mr.. Taft took
the offer under consideration with
out comment. His reply is not ex-
pected for several days.
The proposition was considered in
a general way, with the details to be
worked out if Mr.. Taft accepts, as
the two club presidents appear to be
hopeful he will. No salary was men
toned.

that "the man to fill this position at

American public" asserting that base
ball at the present time bids fair to

ideal American at the head Of Anfer-

ment. which added:
Our further idea, after discussing
the matter with the different club
