Riff LEAGUE HEADS
 HOLD CONFERENCE
Division Of Worlds Series Money
 Is Chief Topic at Meeting

New York, June 7.-John Heydler and Ban B. Johnson, presidents of the National and American leagues re- spectively, held a conference here yes terday at the formers offices, where the subject of dividing the players pool in the 1919 and future worlds series was discussed.
 Heydler said it was realized that the plan in vogue last fall when the players of the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs received flat sums and other money was divided among all first division players, did not meet with success. Tt must be realized that 1918 was a bad year in which to try out any new system, and the Ten CT plan never had any real test said Heydler.
 It was realized, However, that last falls division worked quite a few in justices, the most glaring of which was that the Cubs, participants in the series, only got a little more than the second place Giant and Cleveland American players.
 Seek Return to Old System.
 Both Johnson and Heydler admit that there is a, strong sentiment in many quarters for the return of the old method of dividing the players pool, by which the actual contestants of the series divide all the players re- ceipts on the basis of 60 per cent for the winning team and 40 per cent. for the losing team.
 "Whether we will return to the old method in vogue before 1918 l will not say said Heydler yesterday. "but both MT. Johnson and myself realize that last falls arrangement was not satisfactory. and we want to have the matter cleared up as quickly as possi- ble.'
 Both Johnson and Heydler will try to ascertain the sentiment of their in dividual clubs as well as that of the individual players, and the question will be settled at a meeting of tie national comm isson, which will be held in Cincinnati somc time next week.
 The two league presidents also dis cussed the latest phase of organized baseball's appeal in the Baltimore Federal league case, but only infor- fnally.
 Heydler to Go Next. Heydler will leave today for a tour l of the western cities of his circuit, his first stop being Cincinnati. If it is possible to get all the National league club owners together a special meet ing of the league will be held in that city early next week. Tht-National leagues attitude on the words series and other routine matters will be l taken up.
 1 Ban Johnson left last night for Bos- l ton, where he will assist in the unyeil- 1 ing of a monument to Timothy Mur- 1 nane. former baseball player official 1 and writer.

BAN IS LIFTED
Gandil and Speaker Fined $50 For Re- cent FTacas-Both Eligible to Re- turn to Game.

New York, June Ban Johnson. the American league chief. is in town. and will look over the Yankees and White Sox today. Ban comes to New fork every so often to get the cultured and progressive atmosphere not to be found in the burg which he makes his headquarters. He will go to Boston tomorrow to attend the unveiling of the Murnane monument.
 Yesterday Ban reinstated Iris Speaker, of the Indians, and Chick Gandil, of the White Sox, who were suspended week ago for engaging in rough and tumble fight. They are eligible to play today. and that will gladden. Kid Gleason's heart for the Kid says he would have taken two games from Detroit on the way East had Gandil been at Post No. 1. Speaker and Gandil were not only suspended, but were fined $50 each. 'If I had had my way" said MT. Johnson last night, 1T would have dis ciplined the players of both teams. In stead of separating the men these players gathered around, yanked Um- pire Nallin out of the way when he tried to interfere, and insisted on the fight going to a finish. All those who so acted were deserving of punish ment, for the American League will not stand for such rowdyism, but it
 was, not possible to find out just who showed that spirit, and who did not

FIGHT RAIN OR SHINE
Tex Rickard Denies Reports That
 Stormy Weather Will Cause Post

Toledo, O., June 7-Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey will meet in their heavyweight championship contest here July 4 whether there is a clear sky or a driving rain storm. Tex Rickard, promoter of the contest, made this announcement last night in denying reports that the contest might be postponed until the next day be- cause of inclement weather.
 "All talk of a postponement is idle,' Rickard said. Il am taking this stand now for the benefit of the pub sons in Toledo from every part of the country and to ask them to stay over for another day would be imposing an undue hardship. It is possible the contest may be delayed an hour or two, but it will not be postponed"
 Rickard announced that although the contest is a month away, the ad- vance sale had reached the astonish- ing total of s300,0o0. This indicates, it was said, that the total gate re- ceipts will exceed $500,O00.
 It became known last night that Willard is after Clay Turner. the Indian light heavyweight; Harry Greb, of .Pittsheld, and Bartley Mad den, another light heavyweight. to work with him.

PRESIDENT TELLS
SENATE HIS VIEWS
INTERPRETATION OF TREATY is
NOT NECESSARY.
Wilson Urges Senator's lnterpreta-
ton Be Omitted From Formal
Ratification as Language
Of Senate Is Language
of Treaty"


Washington, Aug 19.-The mem
bers Of the senate foreign relations
committee called on the president
this morning as per agreement ana
were received by the presidents sec
rotary.
The President intfmated that the
league would prevent japan from as
suming any complete sovereignty
over Shantung. The conference Is
unprecedented In American history.
Nothing in that respect Is recalled
since Washington went to the senate
TO discuss Iddian troubles. President
Wilson told the committee that the
league council will have nothing
whatever" to do In deciding whether
the United States has fulfilled its
obligations in case of Withdrawn
from the league. He said the United
States will have complete freedom
of choice as to application of force
in carrying out Article 10 Of the COW
enant. The president replied to Sena-
TOR Knox that one OF the reasons for
pntting the league in the treaty was
that Germany is not going to he al
mitted to the league Immediately
ana it was thought necessary to get
her acceptance of the league ~ an
international authority so that there
after she would have no grounds for
questioning any authority the league
might exercise under its covenant.
If the Interpretation is part Of the
formal ratification the president con
tended long delays will follow, as
other governments have to accept
the language of the senate MS the
language of the treaty before the
ratification he complete" He told the
senators that Article 10 is not of
doubtful interpretations when read in
connection with the whole covenant.
He said the council could only lad
wise" and as action must be unani-
nous the firmative vote of America
is necessary for any question affect
ing it.
Washington, Aug. 19.-President
Wilson told the foreign relations
committee at the outset Of the con
ference, that he could see no reason
able objection to the Interpretation OF
how the United States accepts the
league provided such did not form
part Of the formal ratification itself.
