BASEBALL LEADERS
ACCEPT NEW PACT
Majors and Class AA Leagues
Divided on Price For
Drafted Players.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE tenta-
tive draft OF the proposed new Ma
tional baseball agreement which Is

was accepted Sunday by the major
and minor league committees which
have been working on the document
the last two days The agreement
as accepted by the committees was
drafted last night by Judge Kene-
saw NJ. lands. George Wharton
Pepper Of Philadelphia. John Con-
way Toole Of New York, and J. c.
Jones, Of st. Louis.
The committee submitted two ten
tltive agreements. one between the
National and American leagues and

leagues and the National Associa-

Action on the agreement between
the two major leagues will be taken

The most important controversial
point 10 the proposed agreement be-
tween the major leagues and the nil
nors was that relating to the draft
ing Of players from one league by
another of higher classification. The
point was not definitely settled by
the committees because of the known
opposition OF the American associa-
ton and the International league to
the restoration of the draft Some

Reasons given vary greatly. A

1T sounds so odd TO have people

her petition.
Bugg 10 Farley and one from Smack
to Feeder
A large number of the petitioners
say their original names are a detri-
ment to them in business. Many de-
sire a change because their names
are hard to pronounce and spell and
that there are too many similar
ones in Cleveland.
Often entire families petition to
have their names changed, particu-
! larly foreign-spea people who
have children in school.
Married men seldom take their

having voted to accept the compro-
mise offer of the contractors.
The men were getting a wage scale
OF 10 cents per hour. A few were
paid little more, but the recognized
scale was rs cents. In some of the
larger cities the scale was dollar an
hour and the local union decided that
they were entitled to this rate. They
made demand on the contractors for
the dollar scale. The contractors re-
fused, but split the difference, offering
81 y cents, or an increase of 121s
cents, instead of the rs cents demand
ed. This was refused and the men
struck.
Some of the smaller contractors
were able to keep their men at work,
but only about IL or Is men were
working while about 10 were out.
Some of these men went to nearby
cities and were employed at dollar
an hour. This did not prove profita-
bic as many of the men are married
and had not only to pay earfare but
also to pay board away from their own
homes. This brought their net pay
below what they were getting at home
even before the increase of II ~
cents.
/ The men grew uneasy and few
approached the contractors asking for
work. This finally resulted in the
meeting being called and the vote to
GO back being taken.

Massachusetts Officer That Wright
Is Not the Right Wright

State Policemen Bridgeman and
Flynn, and Arthur Pepin of this city,
motored to Southbridge. last Friday,
following notification by the chief of
police there that he had II. b. Wright,
the much sought vendor of stolen
automobiles. The state officials felt
well pleased TO think that at last they
had Che much sought man, but when
they arrived in Southbridge they We're
-'-~nnointsd to find that while ~ 49, no
lice had a Wright, he was not the right
Wright, and after the officers and Pep
in looked him over and told the Massa-
chusetts official that he was not the
man, he Was allowed to go.
A number Of the stolen automobiles
that We're found in Windham county
were sold in this section by man
who gave his name as II. B. Wright.
He has been sought far and near by
the state police. who have been work
ing on the cases, but has proved as
elusive as an army cootie, being seen
here and there, but when officers
thought they could put their fingers
on him he was gone.
Police departments in this section
have been notified to be on the look
cut for Wright, and the chief il
Southbridge found a Harry Wright
who. it is said, has been under sur
veillance before, and he thought h,
had the man wanted. He notified
Chief Egan of the state police and h.
sent two of his men TO identify tht
man. The officers took along Arthur
pepin, who knew Wright As soor
as they saw the Wright being held TO
them the police and Pepin knew tina
he was not the right Wright, in fac
had little or no resemblance to him
+ II developed that Henry could no
even drive an automobile and that h
was living quietly on farm nea
Southbridge with his family. Follow
/ ing the meeting between the officer
and the man held by the Southbridg

was allowed to go. As he departed h
