BASEBALL WAR
IS TERMINATED
Judge Lands Made Chairman of Base
balI' - VIII Try to Bring Minor
Leagues Into Plan.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Peace settled over
professional baseball yesterday when the
opposing factions in the reorganization of
the game reached an agreement on every
point at issue and thus ended a war which
for five days apparently had disrupted
both major leagues.
The end of the fight came when the
Is club owners voted unanimously to
make Judge kenesaw Mountain Lands
chairman of baseball and a committee
of one to act as final court Of appeal in
all matters OF dispute between the two
major leagues and any minor leagues
which may join the majors IN reorganiza-
ton of the game. Judge Lands accepted
the proposition but it was stipulated that
he might remain on the bench and handle
both positions.
Instead of a civilian tribunal as the
governing body of baseball, Judge Lands
probably will remain the final Judge, al
though the club owners may decide later
to appoint two civilian associates to act
with Judge Landis
IF the one man commission is retained,
the president of each league VIII be
special pleader for clubs under him. All
matters will be taken up at joint meeting
of the two leagues. where the vote VIII
be cast BIZ clubs. II there IS DIVISION
n vote then will be taken by leagues each
organization having one vote; II they
cannot agree, the two presidents then
viii appear before Judge Lands and his
decision will be final.
Immediate attempts will be made to
bring the minor leagues into the plan. A
committee of SIX, three from the National
league and three from the American
league, will confer with committee Of
six from the minor leagues If the mi
nors come in, they will be given the right
to appoint special pleader to appear be
fore Judge Lands when matters lnvolv-
ing them are considered.
Judge Lands term is for seven years
and then an election will be held by all
leagues in the plan to determine who
shall be commissioner. He will have
power to question any player, club owner
or league president and to take any action
he sees fit in all cases. The leagues
agreed to sign a contract to abide by the
judges decision.
Chicago will be headquarters, for the
baseball commissioners and offices will
be opened here Immediately.
If second and third members are chosen
for the commission. it is virtually certain
according to the club owners, that Judge
Charles A. Macdonald Of Chicago VIII
be one Of them.
Judge Macdonald indirectly brought on
the baseball war, for he started the base
ball scandal investigation, which brought
about the nronosals for reorganization OF
control of baseball.
