 New York, Dec 12-UP)-Dis- guised as a potted palm, I stood in the lobby of the Commodore Ho- tel during the meeting of the American league yesterday and heard that:
 Lou Comiskey has given off the ultimatum that unless the White Sex are winners this year he will sell the club before the start of the 1886 season. He won't have much trouble for there are three syndicates in the Strauss building in Chicago alone who are bidding for the team. It is this neces- sity of producing a winner that prevents Manager Jimmy Dykes from peddling Al Simmons, despite fattering offers from Detroit and New York. Jimmy did oner Simmons to Detroit, put all ne wanted was Rowe, Greenberg, Gehringer and small cash settle- ment. Mickey Cochrane's re- ply to this offer was highly un- printable.

While there was no announce ment word got out that the Grey hound racing problem was imme- diately attacked. Emil Fuchs, boss of the Boston Braves, wants per- init the puppies to rave at Braves field while his players are on the road. Prick, as well as Commis- sioner K. M. Landis, have an- nounced opposition to the plan, holding that baseball and a gam bling sport such as dog racing do not mix.
 Baseball men believe that the National League will vote to dump the matter into Landis' lap, with veto from the commissioner certainty.
 On the Shelf
 Later Prick announced definitely that the dog racing problem had not come up and refused to amplify his statement. Judge Fuchs also said that nothing was done" about the matter. It was be- lieved, however, that it was de- cided, possibly "off the records" that the problem would be given to Landis.
 It was believed that heads of the league regarded Fuchs in error for having applied for his dog-racing license under the name of the Braves club, instead of arranging for the permit to be handled by an independent corporation. Fol lowing this line of thought it was regarded as possible the judge might withdraw his application and arrange for new deal. Davis To Giants The "potted Palmers heard lots of rumors, but none was turned in- to bases of fact. It was thought likely however. that the Giants were in complicated deal in- volving possibly, Philadelphia Phiies, Cincinnati Reds and Pitts burgh Pirates. The report recurring most frequently was that George Davis. hard hitting outfeder, would go from the Phillies to the Giants. Al Todd, Phillies catcher, will go to Pittsburgh, according to word along potted Palm Alley. Harvey Traband, for years sec retary to Heydler, was appointed secretary-treasurer of the National League. Appointment was made by the new board of directors com | posed of Sam Breadon of St. Louis, Powell Crosley of Cincinnati, Ger aid Nugent fo Philadelphia and stephen McKeever of Brooklyn. The retiring board was composed of Charles Stoneham of New York, Judge Fuchs, John Seys of Chi cago and William Benswanger of Pittsburgh. (. Baseballs questions - whether the Boston Braves field will go to the dogs and probable fate of Babe Ruth-remain unanswered after the first day of the major league meetings.
 The question of Judge Emil Fuchs rights to race dogs in his ball park at Boston probably will not come up at all. The judge has decided to drop the question, ac. cording to the information.
 On Edge
 Babe Ruth's status remained un- changed and he still is simply a vacationist abroad. But at any mo- ment. according to the word going around. an unidentified club will seek his services as manager. The appointment of Prick to the National League presidency as suc- cessor to John A. Heydler, who re- sized several weeks ago, was a formality. Harvey Traband was named assistant to the president and Heydler chairman of the board.
 Tricks former position as league publicity service bureau head was given to William Brandt, Phila- delphia newspaper man.
