Each line Of curb, divided into as

CHICAGO, Dec. II. UP)-Twen-
ty years after they first called him
in to save baseball, the major
leagues met today to draft IA year
old Kenesaw Mountain Lands as
commissioner and sole administra-
tor of baseball law for six more
years.
His reelection at a joint session
of the American and National
leagues is a mere formality. Both
leagues voted unanimously last
night to extend his $65000 year
contract from 1912 until Jan. II,
1916.
Lands first was drafted from the
federal bench in 1920 to restore Or
der after the Infamous BLACK Sox'
scandal had threatened a death
blow to baseball. Today, the game
is near its peak but with increasing
pressure of the U. S. preparedness
program and critical problems TO
be met in connection with a new
major league agreement due in
1916, club officials preferred an old
hand at the helm.

to continue. Despite his age, he is

*June II.
For several years the coast had
suggested the Big Ten send its foot
ball champion to meet the Pacific
coast title holder in the Rose Bow
at Pasadena on New Years day
thus making a closed corporation
| of the annual event. On each occa-
sion the suggestion has been turned
down.
Somewhat miffed at the snub,
graduate managers and faculty rep
resentativeS talked of retaliation
which would take the form of ter
mination of the track meet, which
has been held for the past four
years.
Late yesterday, however, came a
telegram from the athletic director
of Northwestern university. 1t said
the Big Ten would be happy" to
participate once more in the track
meet. 1t effectively pulled the cork
on the threatened reprisal.
Faculty representatives refused to
dive for the storm cellar today when
repercussionS of their decision to
lecompenSe western Rose Bowl play
ers for lost employment hit Del
Monte.
They stood by their original plan,
as enunciated by Athletic Commits
sioner Edwin N. Atherton, that foot
ball players who would be forced to
give up essential jobs during the
Christmas holidays to train for the
Bowl event, would be reimbursed not
to exceed $50 each.
Prof. William B. owens, Stanford
faculty representative. which team
will be first affected by the ruling,
said he didn't think more than
three or four players would be elig-
ible for the compensation. Assistant
Coach Jim Lawson added that most
of the players were solvent enough
to do without Christmas jobs any
way"
Today the faculty committee con-
SiderS once more the problem OF
campus jobs for athletes. 1t will put
a floor under the number of work.
ing hours required and a ceiling
over the wages to be paid.
Further, the conference voted to
give blanket eligibility to any col
lege athlete competing for army or
navy service teams, whether they
play with or against professional
players. The move was an echo OF
the case of Johnny Petrovich and
Tharen Hodges, ruled ineligible for
at the University OF
Southern California because Of
uses violation of the recruiting
rule, who joined the national guard
and played on a team containing
a professional.
OFF, -the-cuff decisions at the time
said both lads would lose their
and Atherton, after delv-
ing into the situation, suggested that
the conference not penalize athletes
who play for Uncle Sam.
