High Moguls
 OfBase ball Meet In W. Y.
By Associated Press

New York, December Ill., Major and minor league com mittees, engaged ill drawing up a new national baseball agreement early tonight, dele gated to Judge Landis, high m missioner of baseball, George Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia and John Con- way Toole of New York the task of deciding upon the form of the document.
 Later Judge Landis announced dsri- nitely that the American league meeting would be held in Chicago next friday would probably be held there Saturday or. if delayed. either in Chicago or in New York after New Years.
 The trio met tonight and discussed the provisions of the two tenative agree ments that were presented to the com mites today and will submit their report to the joint committees tomorrow. The general conference of the committee, " hch lasted all day. was attended by Representatives of all the major league clubs, except St. Louis and Chicago ot the American league.
 BAN JOHNSON ABSENT
 Absence ot President Ban Johnson or the American league occasioned some surprise and much speculation, until Judge Landis said the mix-up regarding 5 the proposed jo.nt meeting of the two major leagues and the absence of Presi- dent Johnson here today were due to him. lie explained that, in his opinion. it would be impossible to get through with the preliminary discussion and work on the new agreement before next. week, and for that reason he notified Presl- nets Johnson and Heydler that the Joinr session would be held in Chicago next Saturday. Before leaving Chicago, Judge Landis said President Johnson de- clared that anything the judge decided upon would suit him.
 MUCH DISSATISFACTION
 When Judge Landis arrived in New ' ork he learned that there was much dissatisfaction over the change of the i inleeting from New York to Chicago, not  but those of the Amernan league who had come to New York. After the judge as informed that the business of dratt- ing the new a .eement could be disposed { of by Monday night at the latest, he was prevailed upon to call the joint session ia New York, and it was agreed to hold . the meeting here next Thursday, pro Nded the other business is out of the way, but later this was changed.
 When the major and minor league com- lnittees met to take up the new agree ment, tentative drafts were submitted by President Heyder of the National league and John Conway Toole, attorney for the National league. The principal difference between the two was that the Heydler draft included the administrative details, while that presented by Mir. Toole omit ted these details, which he suggested might be incorporated in separate 7 agreement, thus leaving the code which is to the general government of base

POST-SEASON
 GRID BATTLE
 CALLED OFF

Much regret was caused in local athletic circles yesterday by the announcement that the proposed championship AL bertville-Baylor school football game has been called off.
 A syndicate of local sportsmen was trying to arrange the game to be played here next Saturday, but after further consideration of the affair, 1t was deemed inadvisable to stage the game.
 First of all, it was impossible to get Redwood park for the game, as the field is being refilled and releveled for the spring baseball training season. Then local interest in football has died down with the close of the season, and it was thought that the promoters would lose money on the project.
 The game, showever has not been called off, as there is a chance of Chat tanooga, Nashville or some other town bidding for the battle and landing it.

of 1919. Both are accurate shooters, as well as good passers.
 GUARDS PLENTIFUL

UO AAhOO LIEN IT O U
 It is at the guard positions. that Coach Brown finds the greatest wealth of material At least six first-class men are out for these two guard berths and Coach Brown will no doubt find great difficulty in picking his two varsity men, if he is able to do so before the season is almost over.
 Big Hoss" Candy seems to have a slight edge for one guard position. The great size and speed of "The Hoss" makes him an ideal guard. Candy is tall heavy, but not bulky, and can cover ground like speed engine. He should be invaluable man this season.
 Then there are two new men out for the other guard who are showing up mighty well at present They are Saffarans and Richardson. Saffarans is veteran cagester from Porter Milf tary institute and Marist college. Therefore, it can be seen that he has had much experience and is likely to prove valuable man to the Partners. under Joe Ben, crcH bsketb1l coch of Saffarans has also had some training under Joe Bean, crack basketball coach of the Atlanta Athletic club quintet.
 GOODWATER STAR OUT
 ''Red" Richardson is another young ster who is likely to do much in bas- ketball this season. Richardson was said to be "the whole works" on the Goodwater team last season, the out fit that defeated Howard colleges strong 1913 cage quintet. At any rate, he was captain, manager and star per- former with the Goodwater lads and although he will not perform in the first two roles at Birmingham South ern this season, he is sure to live up to his reputation for the latter
 Tn addition to Candy, Saffasans and Richardson, there are at least three more candidates who promise to be heard from before the season is over. They are Green, Vardaman and Bagley. Vardaman is a letter man of last year and gives evidence of making some body hustle for a berth this season. Green and Bagley are good, reliable guards and could easily fill the two varsity berths.
 From the above enumeration of the talents of Coach Browns candidates it can easily be seen that the caged Panthers of 1920-21 are likely to make a record for themselves. The Partners open their season Saturday, when they meet the B. A. c. ClubberS.

 FULTZ'S STATEMENT
 President Fultz of the International league discussing the draft proposal ex- pressed the opinion that such a. provision would not be binding on the clubs of his league, even though it were approved by the minor league committee. Other base ball men. however, did not agree with President Fultz's point of view and ex- pressed the opinion that if new federal agreement is signed by the National and American leagues and the National as- sociation, all the organizations of the last named would be bound by it's pro- visions and those who failed to recog- nize the agreement would become outlaw leagues. It is likely the draft question will be settled definitely as it relates to the International league at the meeting of that organization Monday.
 MINORS HAD NO VOICE
 The minor leagues had no voice in the selection of Judge Landis as high com missioner of baseball, but their commit tee insisted that the proposed new agree ment contain a provision which will give them voice in the selection of a suc- ceSSor to Judge Landis in the event of his resignation or his office being made vacant by any other reason. The minor league representatives made it plain that, while taking this stand they were pleased with the selection of Judge Landis and would have voted for him had they been given the opportunity to do so. Judge IAndis agreed with the minors viewpoint and as there was no objections it is likely the provision in the new agree ment will give all parties to the agree ment voice in selecting the high com missioner in the future.
 Judge Landis said he had not yet selected his secretary because he cannot afford to make a mistake in the appoint ment.
 You know said Judge Landis, "the secretary in this case will be an impor- tant official and will be means of either making me breaking me in this job."

 Little Rock, Feb. 2.-A petition of Gov. Allen of Kansas, requesting the |extradition of Robert L.

The petition guarantees Hill a fair trial and change of venue if desired. Negro signers are Bishop J. M. Conner of the African Methodist church; J. M. Cob, president Philan- der Smith College, and Joseph A. Booker, president of Arkansas Baptist College.

 Another attractive feature of cu- cumber raising is that the entire crop is contracted for the picking concern before they are planted, the price of same being named in the contract and the growers can secure their money as soon as each wagon load is de- livered at the salting station. There fore the grower is assured of cer- tain price before he plants. The seed are furnished the grower by the pick ling concern free of charge. The harvesting time lasts for about six
 rseven wees during May and June each year, at the time when schools are in vacatio and no other crop on the farm is being worked.
 A meeting of the farmers and busi- ness men will probably be called for the latter part of this week to decide
 definitely on the proposition.

In his recent message to Congress, President Wilson strongly recom- mended the Budget System which would base the Nations annual ex- penditures in every department on government income.
 Governor Lowden of Illinois has gained prominence as a presidential candidate because of his success in adjusting the expenditures of his state to it's income for each year.
 Applied to your finances, the Bud- get System would mean that you place reent, food, clothing and other eexpenses against your income, and determine to show a surplus at the end of the var. It's indulgence in spending; you can know where you stand in financial matters. Put the Budget System in your family plat form for 1920.
