MAJOR CONFAB
BRINGS PEACE
IN ALL RANKS
Baseball Difficulties Are Fixed

, o FEAR OF NEW LOOP
Agreement Not Likely
in MajOr-MinOr Case

CHICAGO, Feb 12.-Hope for peace
etween the major and minor leagues
ded here today.
Indications at noon We're that the
iaiors will refuse to make any con-
,ssions to the minors, Al Tearney,
hartman of the association of minor
leagues, said.
Acceptance of the minor league de
mands for more recognition by the major
leagues is not likely, President John
Heydler of the National league indicated.
President Ban johnson of the American
league indicated he would take the same
stand
Catcher Wheat of the Brooklyn Robins
was released to the Philadelphia Ma
tsanals, 1t was said.
Baseball has slowed away the sunpow-
der and is getting out the talcum pow
der to primp for 1920. The nearest
sound akin to the recently silenced can
nonading today is the rumble of the two
major Fights" hitting in perfect accord
Ban johnson can move around now
without the spectre of a process server
hunting him; the Yankees can collect
their third slice of the world series pie ;
Connie Mack can round up his Athletics
and tell them there is going to pc
league this season, and Garry Hermann
soon can sit back in his office and sym
pathize with some other poor victim VINO
tries to please every one In the basebal1
family.
HARD TASKS MADE
EASY IN SHORT TIME.
All is serene in sweet peace and it was
all done In a few hours at Chicago. The
comparative ease with which the
obseQuies over the tOmahawk were
brought about convinces the fans of the
folly of that fear that baseball was
threatened by the American league row
and the controversy over the commission
chairman.
Rumors of a new league to rise on the
wreckage of the American league bore
Just as much chance for naturalization
as the former crown princes offer to
stand trial The insurgent faction Of the
league is a clan of business men and
they never would have considered the
camille with million dollar investments
on a wild market like a new league.
There was much ado about nothing in
tho threatened disorganization of base
bah over the commission charmansnip
wrangle. John Heydler, president of the
National league, said a few wise words
when he made the statement recently
that the commission could act almost in
definitely without a chairman.
Then there is Ban Johnson. Ban still
holds the helm of the American league.
Maybe his wings have been trimmed but
he Is still there In charge and his pres
ence will not bring about that predicted
demise of the national game.

GRIFFTTHs sPRINGs PUNCH.

Has Johnny Griffith, Akron welter-
weight, suddenly developed a knockout
punch in England?
Johnny has knocked three European
boxers sprawling on his recent tour, the
last being Francois Charles, the stable
mate of Georges Carpenter.
When the Akron flash started his pro
fessonal career. back in 1911, a large
percentage of his decisions were by the
k. o. route. Then came a steady dow of
no decision bouts and many ring critics
had decided that Johnny had lost his
punch. He won for himself the name Of
being the champion no-decision fighter of
America.
European rings may cause some of the
bows at home in his division to be more
careful when they climb between the
