EACH FACTION MAKES
CERTAIN CONCESSIONS
Civilian Tribunal Proposed BY
the Lasker Plan Is Reject
ed and 0ne-man Admins
tration is Adopted.
tBy The Associated Press>

Chicago, Nov. IL. - The
warning baseball factions in
the major leagues today
made peace, each side con-
ceding certain points to the
other in the battle over the
reorganization of profession
al baseball control.
After a three hour session,
the representatives of the
sixteen clubs voted unani-
mously to appoint Federal
Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands supreme dictator of
the leagues destinies, but
did away with the civilian
tribunal proposed by the
Lasker plan, voting instead
that Judge Lands should be
a committee of one in COM
plete charge of the admins
tration of the leagues af-
fairs.
To Remain On Bench.
Judge Lands Immediately ac-
cepted the position but stipulated
that he would remain on the fed
eral district bench and hold both
positions. Judge Lands salary as
chairman of baseball will be SAP
500 year and he will receive ST.
500 a year as federal judge, giving
him an annual stipend Of $4,000.
Originally he WIS offered $4,000
as baseball chairman, but 1t was
reduced by the amount he re-
ceives as judge.
The fundamental principles of
the Lasker plan of reorganization
were agreed to by President John
son and the Philadelphia, Wash
ington, Detroit, Cleveland and ST.
Louis American league clubs
which sided with President John
son in opposing the Lasker plan.
After the meeting the magnates
came out arm in arm and ma
jority of them proceeded to Judge
Lands chambers to inform him of
their decision,
A Real Peace Is Made.
''We've made real peace-one
that will last" was the comment of
President William Veeck, of the
Chicago National league club as
the meeting broke up. 'rhe full
details of the reorganization have
not been settled, of course, but we
expect to issue a formal statement
soon telling all about It. It's
enough to say that the war is over
and everyone Of us is mighty glad
of it."
Todays meeting was arranged at
the minor league convention in
Kansas City few days after the
eleven clubs favorinG the Lasker
plan had formed Il new twelve club
now automatically
is thrown out of existence. 1t was
when the club owners
found that they apparently did not
differ in their fundamental ideas
of e-organization--a fact brought
before the minor leaguers in ad-
dresses by representatives of both
sides.
No Record of Proceedings.
No official record of the pro-
of the meeting today was
kept. There were no lawyers.
or clerks present
and President John Heydler, of the
National league, and President
Johnson, of the American league,
were absent.
