Among the incoming American Leaguers
was a young man OF some reputation
Tv Cobb by name. The Peacherino from
Georgia dropped into town at the inYi-
tation Of President Frank ERv1n OF the
Detroit Americans Havin wHnts COBB TO
manage the Tigers and Is willing to hand
him a contract calling for $4,000 year,
q raise OF $4,000 over what he has been
receiving as a player. Cobb is only hu-
man and it is expected he Will fall for
the contract.
The nesting OF the American League
was scheduled for tho Hotel Belmont.
Johnson's league has not yet ratified the
new National baseball agreement, and
this was one Of the important Items on
the slate.
IN addition 70 routine affairs that al
q
perhaps some new ideas that may be in
trOd iced by somesof the club owners, the
American LeaGuers had q little peace
making to do. Tbs rift between johnson
and his loyal five and Messrs. Rupert.
Huston. Frazes and Comiskey has not
been entirely forgotten. II any real scrap
occurs in the meeting It undoubtedly will
come over the election OF a new board
Of directors.
The American League probably will
recommend that the season be opened
| IN conjunction with that Of the National
League on April - with a schedule Of

TRADING BALL
GIVEN START.
The trades pulled OF by Brooklyn and
the Reds and the Yanks and Red So1

to be headed for New York and Rabbit
Meanwhile involved. Connie Mack. Clark

Before the end Of the week II IL prac-
tically certain that Presidents johnson
and Heydler, who will act with Judge
lands IN adopting all new baseball leg
islation from now on, Will confer regard
ing changes In the playing rules and
may draw up a new set Of regulations
governing the worlds series.
The National League has already gone
on record favoring the continuance OF the
use Of the spitball by pitchers who have
