East st. Louis, Ill.
Answer: Never Travelled with
Buffalo Bill and am unable to give
you a positive answer to your query.
The fact that there has never been
an account of the injury to person
or property from spent bullet
from Cody's rife (?) would convince
the knowing that shot cartridges
were utilized. Rifles of the A cali
Der (smooth bore) can be secured
with the shot cartridges at the re-
tail dealers. Cody usually shot at
a composition ball. much easier to
score than the glass balls would
have been.

W0P TO
Do BATTLE IN
AURORA SOON
Tony Caponi Matched With Freddy
Enck-Comiskey Works Hard
for Steuhmer. '

Babe Meanor has matched Tony
Caponi with Freddy Enck Of Aurora
for a bout in that city next Friday
night. The boys will battle 10
rounds as one number on an all
star program. The Aurora club has
the habit of staging triple windup
affairs.
When he met Sammy Wade in Pc
oria recently Tony handled his left
mitt with q lot of care with the
result that it is now as strong as
ever. He figures he can hand
Freddy a neat trimming, Enck be-
ing one of the bantams who has
been hammering away for some
years. Aurora is fast becoming a
| fight center. SO q decisive win for
Tony will add much to his prestige.
Freddy is a rugged little fellow and
the freak wop will no doubt find
his hands full. However, he
should make the Aurora bugs sit up
and take notice Of streak in ac-
ton and it is assured he will make
a decided hit with them.
Comiskey IN Good Shape.
Harry Lennon, manager OF
Tommy Comiskey. who meets Bum
Steuhmer here next Thursday night
at the Empire rink. sends the word
along that his boy is not taking
things easy for his match with the
Davenporter. Tony realizes that
Bum is not a man to be toyed with
and that he will have to work his
hardest to gain the decision.
Bum is putting in about the most
strenuous training Of his long and
varied career as mitt artist. An
ticipating that he will be outboxed
by the more clever Comiskey, he is
developing a greater kick in his
right fist that he believes will dc
the business II he manages to land

LEAGUES COME
TO AGREEMENT
Gardeners Compact Rather Than
Signed Contract To Regulate
Majors and Minors.

Chicago, Feb. IA. - Major and
minor league baseball magnates
failed to draw up any new agree
ment in their joint session yester-
day at the Congress but came to an
understanding verbally in a way
that seemed satisfactory to all con-
cerned. They will operate under
q "gentlemen's agreement" this
year just as last with the exception
that board of arbitration was Gre
ated which will give the minors .
representation in all disputes to be
settled.
The board will consist Of only
two men, one representing the
majors and one the minors. The
new Chairman Of the national COM
mission, not yet elected. will rep
resent the majors. :. The minors
will appoint q man within . week
or so. These two will decide all
cases involving major and minor
league clubs and in case they can
not agree, they will select a neu-
trail man to decide that particular
case
Agreement Up to Club Owners.
That there still is bare posi-
bility of a new written agreement
being drawn up and adopted, was
made known. The minor league
committee of eight men is empow-
cred to act on such q thing. Pres
ident Heydler of the National
league and President johnson of
the American league. both of whom
attended the session. said they
would want to take the matter up
with the major league club own
ers.
If the major magnates favor
new agreement, it might be put
into operation before the season
begins but, as some of the bosses
prefer to take no such action while
a court decision is pending in the
Baltimore Federal league suit
against organized baseball, it is
likely the "gentlemen's agreement
will continue through another sea
son.
No Draft for Another Year.
This means there will be no
drafting of ball players and no OPP
tional agreements between major
League. and minor league clubs. The
system worked quite satisfactorily
last season except in few cases
where minor league players of
merit failed to advance because
their owners wouldn't sell them
and the big fellows couldn't draft
them. ''.
The joint session Of yesterday
practically brought to a close the
biggest baseball gathering Of all
time which has been in operation
here since Sunday. AS yet, how
ever, no chairman has been elected
for the national commission to sue
coed Garry Hermann. Heydler
and Johnson, the other two MEM
bers of the commission, were in
secret session late in the after
noon and will meet again today.
Lands Out Of Running.
The list of candidates was cut
down to one less when Judge Ian
dis asked that his name be remov-
ed. President Heydler Of the Ma
tional league said the Judge had
called him up and requested a blue
pencil be run through his name on
the list. Lands declared he never
had been a candidate, that no one
connected with baseball had even
talked to him about 1t.
Nearly all of the magnates had
departed for their homes last night
and all were delighted with the re-
suits OF the big meeting. A num-
Der Of the managers were bit dis
appointed because they had been
unable to make trades but it is
thought that q few deals were
framed and will be announced
later.
