PEACE AT LAST REICNS THRU
BASEBALL WORLD ON SIGNING
New National Agreement Signed With Judge Lands
Given Absolute and Supreme Power As Final
Tudgment-Landis Demands SFree Hand.''

Chicago, Ill, Jan. 12.-orsanizcd
baseball today swept tho last vcstise
of disagreement from its ranks in
conferences which brought signed
peace agreements not only between
the major and minor leagues, but be-
tween tho individual clubowners.
Two major leagues signed the now
national agreement making Judge
Landis baseball commissioner with
supreme powers and the minor lea
cues signed an agreement with Judge
Lands as their ruler, but it differed
in one word from that signed by the
r,a iors This difference. it developed,
was due to a misund derstandinE in the
joint meeting of drafting committees
yesterday when the agreement was
drawn up and it was announced that
sign an agreement, identical with the
ono approved by the majors. Besides
signing the national agreement tho
individual major league clubowncrs
signed contract agreeing not TO
criticisc each other publicly or talk
about one another and to accept any
decision made by Judge IandiS
Included were President Johnson of
the American League and two of tho
three clubowners who have fought his
administration, Charles A. Comiskcy
Of Chica go. and Jacob Rupert of New
York. Harry Frazco of Boston, the
third clubowncr who opposed John
son. announced that he would sign.
The signing of tho national agree
mcnt brought a sharp statement from
Judge Lands concerning the powers
he must be given and led to erroneous
reports that he has issued an ulu-
rnatum giving the clubowners, fifteen
minutes to make changes he demand
ed The judge did not set a time
limit, but did issue an ultimatum tell
ing tho clubowncrs that his powers
must be supreme.
When tho new national agreement
was brought before the league rep
rescntatives, 1t contained a section
saying that the commissioner after an
Investigation could recommend such
action as he deemed advisable"

Rush and Win By Margin

Displaying an article o. basket ball

on any college floor in the state the
Pueblo Indians came from Il low score
last night at the City w court and
defeated the First Presbyterian basket
quintet from Colorado Springs by ono
point. the final score being sc to 50.
Pueblo basket fans, n large number
of whom attended last nights contest
pronounced the play the most inter
csting to watch of any basket cXhibi-
ton ever played in Pueblo.
Within the last two minutes Of play
the Indians were defeated, but
breckenridge and Evans came to the
fore with two shots, while Low, who
had replaced McGraw at the end OF
the first period contributed his share
with a tally. All GSrc field goals.
These scores Won the contest for tho
Pueblo five.
Mccoy at guard for the Indian tribe,
probably saved the Indians from an
overwhelming defeat by his action in
tho first period. While tho stocky
little "Y' athlete was able to shove
the ball thru the nctted hoop but once
during the entire sixty minutes of play
his superior brand of defense proved
impreEnable to the "churchmen."
Many times Mccoy would rush from
the center of the floor to the aid of
"OS" Talbot, Rocky Mountain all
Conference athlete, who was back
guard. and wrcst the ball away from
a Colorado Springs player for a long
shot to Breckenridge or McGraw, the
