DR.. Custis Lee Hall. The latter was
a church wedding-the Bethlehem

BASEBALL WAR"
 MAY RESULT IN AUGMENTATION NATIONAL GAME

CHICAGO. Oct. 2S.-President By ron Bancroft Johnson Of the Ameri- can league and five club owners, who have sided with him in all league fights, will hold a conference here tomorrow which may decide whether there will be baseball war over the proposed reorganization of ;the national game.
 Officially the conference is meet ing of the leagues board of direct OTIS. but unofficially the clubs which Johnson terms the loyal five" will be present while three which have opposed the junior circuit president in his administration of league af- fairs have not been invited
 ca To Take Up Proposal
 Meeting with Johnson will be rep Washington, Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis clubs. They will take up the proposal made by the eight Ma tional league clubs and the Chicago, New York and Boston American league clubs that the National com HiloSlOi DO dDOlioACu anu CohIiOi OI baseball be placed in the hands of a civilian tribunal of three men fi- nancially disinterested in the game.
 Baseball men point out that there are two courses which the magnates might take omorrow. One is to agree to meet with the other II ma jor league clubs at the session call ed for November to act on the pro- posed reorganization or to refuse to take part in the proposals for a change in baseball management. This latter action, it is believed, would result in baseball war
 Looks For Agreement
 While President Johnson tonight would make noi statement, his friends expressed the opinion that the club owners would agree to take part ill the November conference. If this is done, it is believed Johnson and his followers will present a counter proposition for reorganization which will contain the principles of the Lasker plan, favored by the other II magnates, but with several chang es in the administration of the plan. Such action it is believed, would avert a baseball war. unless it was found impossible to reach an agree
