Cap- tain Schmidt played a brilliant pass- ing game and with his running mate Breckenridge having a sure eye for the basket, and much to corral the game for the locals “Bill” Dudack made his 1915 debut with the home boys and he played a stellar defen- sive game. | For the visitors Captain Carpenter was the star.

Cincinnati, De¢. 20.—“There is ab- solutely no truth in any statement to the effect that an agreement has been signed looking toward peace between Organized Baseball and the Federal league,” said August Herrmann, chair- man of the National Baseball Com- | mission, here last night, when shown a statement from Chicago to the ef- fect that an agreement had been sign- ed in New York. That is what the committees will meet here Tuesday for,” continued Mr. Herrmann. Peace in the belief of Mr. Herr- mann is a certainty, and according to his statement upon his arrival from New York, will almost surely be a settled fact before the end of the week, but he insisted that nothing had been signed. i “Members of the committee ap- pointed by the two major leagues and the Federal league will meet here on Tuesday to take up on the peace negotiations where they left off yes- terday,” said Mr. Herrmann. ‘“Quite a number of the details have been agreed upon, but there are a num- ! ber which still require consideration. I believe it will take more than one day to thresh out the differences, but in my belief, peace is a certainty. T will go further. I will say that I be- lieve peace will be a settled fact be- fore the end of the week.” THERE WILL BE A LEAGUE. President, O’'Rourke Says it is As Sure As Holy Writ. Bridgeport, Dec. 20.—James H. O’Rourke, president of the Eastern association said last night that ‘‘Base- ball in Bridgeport and New England next year is as sure as the Holy Writ" Mr. O'Rourke said, “The situation is exactly as I have always main- tained. The Eastern association has the grip on the situation and until the situation here. The National as- sociation has upheld this stand and the clubs in the Eastern association will organize immediately. As far as 1 personally am concerned I will do nothing. I have nothing to do with any club, but the circuit committee of the existing Eastern clubs have been formed. These committees will organize clubs. I am confident that the Eastern association will organize before January 17, but if they do not league baseball will be played in Bridgeport and in New England in any circumstances.” EARLY DATE FOR REGATTA. Cornell Favors june 17, Instead of July 1, For Poughkeepsie Races. Ithaca, N Y., Dec. 20.—When the board of stewards of the intercolle- glate rowing association meet to de- cide upon the date of the annual re- gatta at Poughkeepsie, Cornell’s rep- resentative, Charles E. Treman, will cast his ballot for June 17 instead of July 1. Cornell, in spite of reports that the earlier date would conflict with examinations and was, there- fore, not acceptable to the Ithacans, favors June 17. It is true that the carsmen will have to go to Pough- keepsie earlier than usual, at a time when final examinations for the sec- ond term are in progress, but faculty members of the committee on student affairs and of the athletic council be- lieve that this problem can be solved by sending a member of the faculty to Highland to conduct the examinations in the training quarters. Before deciding to support the earlier date the Cornell authorities consulted Coach Charles E. Courtney who gave his consent. He said that it would mean harder training for the oarsmen, but the date would mean fairer tidal conditions, for which he bas always contended. CANADIAN BOXER ENLISTS. Vancouver, B.
