NAV|N |NEAST
] TO ASK PEACE

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-President
Prank j. Navin, of the Detroit club,
who made an unsuccessful attempt
I to act as pescemaker in the Aperi-
/ can League last month, Is again in
New York. and it was whispered
among baseball men last night that
the Detroit owners mission is again
one of peace
The Western club owners want to
see the internal strife in the league
adjusted before the clubs go South
on the spring training trips, for
they fear that the numerous legal
eptanglements will have bad effect
on the attitude of the fans toward
the championship season.
Navin's mission this trip is sur
rounded by mystery and he kept his
whereabouts here a secret. He did
not get into communication with
Colonel Rupert, Of the ankees, or
Harry Frazee, of the Red Sox, last
night, but it is expected that he
will talk with them before he leaves
town.
Last week President Ban Johnson,
made a mysterious visit to ST. Louis
and was closeted whole afternoon
with Phil Ball. who is one of John
sons stanchest supporters In the Amer
fcan League row.
The second visit of Navin to New
York, following so closely on the St.
Louis confab. is believed to be an
other peace move. All the club own
ers realize that the big baseball fight
Is interfering with the amicable rela-
tions between clubs in regard to play
ers. and many of them are holding
back, awaiting the outcome of the
fight which the insurgent clubs are
waging on President Johnson.
May Make Some Deals.
Nayin is anxious to get some new
players, and II Is believed that he will
try to do business with both Man
ager Higgins, of the Yanks. and
Manager Barrow, of the Red Sox,
while he is in the East. Manager
Huggins is expected here this week.
Detroit had five players in the 300
class last season, and yet with this
array of sluggers they were unable
to get near the top. Detroit's pitch
ing staff faltered last season at criti-
cal times ana NaVln, IL Is salu, Is on
the hunt for pitchers. The Yanks
have several youngsters who would
be of value to the Tigers, while the
Dctroits have some hard-hitting out
f1elders who would look very attrac-
tive in the Yankee outgardeL.
May Call Meeting.
Word comes from Chicago that
President johnson is going to call
q meeting Of the American League
in Chicago In the near future, and 1t
is believed that Navin is here to
sound out the owners of the New
York and Boston clubs on the confer
ence. President Frazee of the Red
Sox and all the Yankee officials have
said repeatedly that they would not
attend a meeting If it was called by
johnson. 1t is possible that Navin is
bringing some tidings here which
will cause the insurgent club owners
to change their minds.
UP to the present time the only
chance for compromise would be
the radical curbing of Johnson's
powers, and IL the five other clubs
have come to the conclusion that this
should be done it may be possible
TO patch up the differences between
the two factions. The insurgents
want the league run by the club
owners and not by the president

Mining men Of this district are
we'll pleased with the prices for
iron ore which have been establish
ed for the 1920 season. The prices
for the Lake Superior district mines
and the Minnesota ranges have been
advanced 81 per ton over the prices
of last year.
The prices of old range Bessemer
are up to S7.45 a ton; old range
non-bessemer, 500; Mesaba bess
emer, 100 and Mesaba non-bess-
emer, So. SIS. delivered at lower lake
ports. The new prices for the
Mesaba ores are the highest ever
quoted, while ST As for old range
bessemer is the highest quoted on
that grade since 1882, and old
range non-bessenler at So. 10 is the
highest since 1891.
The new unit prices of ore are as
follows: Mesaba non-bessemer, 49,
80 cents. Mesaba bessemer, 14.18
cents; and old range bessemer, ID
"a. Unit prices are determined by
adding sixty cents, an arbitrary al
lOwance for freight from Lake Erie
ports to valley furnaces, to the
market quotations on ore, and di-
viding the total by the percentage
of iron i'll the ore. SIS for non
bessemer and S. for bessemer.
Concerning the outlook for the
movement of iron ore this year, the
iron Trade Review says;
That the movement of ore this
season will prove larger than last
year is considered as a foregone
conclusion Notwithstanding the
fact that some furnaces still have
large stocks. The strong demand
for iron and steel is creating a feel
ing of buoyancy in the market and
predictions may be heard
that 1920 will be an exceptionally
good year in the trade.
