Replace One Adopted in 1908
The new national agreement. which
the committees propose to draw up.
viii replace the one adopted in 1908 and
last amended January 10, 1913. and
which has been the government of base
ball since II was first adopted.
The twelve committeeman enter the
meeting with open minds 20 far as the
provisions of the new agreement are
concerned. 1t being the idea to work
out in conferences and consultations an
agreement that will meet present con
ditions and provide for strengthening the
foundation Of the game for the future.
1t is generally expected. however, that
the new agreement will take the form OF
two parts: One between the National
and American Leagues that will apply
to questions involving solely major
| league matters. and the other between
, the major and minor leagues that will
apply to questions involving the interests
of these two divisions.
President HCydler. OF the National
League, has prepared n working draft
Of his ideas rs to what should be in q.
cluded in the new agreement. and II j.
expected that similar suggestions will
be received on behalf of the American
League. Club owners and players also
have been invited to present ideas. and
it is probable Judge Landis will insist
upon the inclusion of provisions out
| lining his power and authority as head
Of organized baseball and others for the
general good OF the sport, us we'll as his
own protection.

PRESIDENT WILL
 START FIGHT FOR
 COX NEXT WEEK

Washington, Sept. 24.-Pres:den- tial reinforcements in the Cox cam paign are expected to get into action next week President Wilson's first move in support of the candidate of his party to succeed him is expected to take the form of a carefully pre- pared statement from the White House on the League of Nations issue, according to Democrats in close touch With the campaign.
 These men regard it as extremely unlike-y that the presidents part in the political battle will take the form of speeches. either in Washington or elsewhere It is pointed out that while the improvement in the presidents health has been steady he has not been called upon to withstand any such strain as a public address would entail
 The hope was expressed at the White House after the Maine primar- ies that the Republican success there and in New Ham pshire might lead the Harding managers either 10 toss the League of Nations overheard entirely or to take a more definite stand re- gardlnS it It was indica ted at that time that the result of the primaries would not alter the attitude of the White House in the slightest on the League issue
 tering the campaign is attributed by those close to the White House to a desire to seize that moment when the effect of the primary Republican sue cesses has begun to wane and when his weight will tend best to swing tn e pendulum of public opinion in the opposite direction.
 To show that the delay has not been excessive. it has been pointed out by White House officials that the president did not really define in it his campaign in 1916 until Sept 2S. It will be just q year on Sept. 2S since the president returned to Washington, broken in health by his battle for rat ification of the League of Nations. It is possible he may celebrate that an- niversary by a broadside in the re- newal of his fight for the object which is so near his heart
