There were games played, and cach created consider- able interest, with the followers of the teams cheering every play mad by their favorites. The opener was king A.

Schade and Kopf were the bright stars for the victors but “Jack” Mar- tin’s work at guard was also of a high grade. For the losers Nelson's floor work and shooting for the ba ket was excellent and Peterson’s throwing fouls was very good. The score: New Britain Reynolds two ITANLEY TOOL LEAGUE. W. L. P.C.

Both the American and National leagues are sald to favor the plan to do away with the commission and it had become known yesterday that the peace terms have been finally settled at the time, the recent meeting in Cincinnati would have been the final one. The fact that the members of the commission, which is composed of Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri- | can league, John of the National . Tener, league, president and body in view became known at the | meeting in Cincinnati, and it was this that caused the delay in the reor- sanization of the commission to for another year. In view of the many difficult prob- lems which might develop, however, with the demise of the Federal league ! it was thought best to go on, and the old officers were re-elected for another term. An amicable agreement has been reached, and the dissolution of the commission will occur before the close of another champlonship season, it is stated on the highest authority.

D. H—The gr est batting duel we recall was between Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson in 1911. Cobb that sea- .420 and Jackson .408. Also Cobb that season made 248 base hits, while Jackson hammered out £233. When it is only on rare occa- sions that a ball player passes the 200 hit mark, the quantity and quality of this batting duel can be appreciated. Willard and 1916, On the theory that it takes at least two to establish an argument, Jess Willard can hardly look to 1916 with any great cheer. Jess may be collecting some easy kale for bowling over a set-up or two, and this would probably cheer him up as greatly as if he could meet a regu- lar opponent—boxers in the main being built that way. But so far as adding to his fame is concerned, Jess might as well go back to the circus disguised as a giraffe or a dinosaru- Tus and stay there. Unless prospects change quickly the spotlight will siend no great part of its time su rounding the mastodonic Kansan. Which, so far as the gayety of nations and the uplift of the ages are con- cerned, may be just as well. Forced Marches.

McGraw is next with flve flags, but Connie heads the list. Connie, like McGraw, must start the year from the cellar, but whether he can break from the rut is doubtful. He may work his way up as high as seventh place, but he will hardly beat this mark Connie Connie seems to be discouraged. He had two pennant winners to break up under him, and then he went forth again and reconstructed the third— the McInn rry, Collins, Baker combination.

Wise a banker of this city, was a complete surprise to Geo. T. Stallings, managey of the club, ac- cording to word received from him to- day Stallings, from his plantation at Haddock, Ga., sent a telegram to Haughton thanking him for the confi- dence Haughton had expressed in Stalling's ability as manager, and ex- tending his good wishes for the new venture. Stallings admitted the news was entirely unexpected. Much interest is manifested as to the effect Haughton's new interests will have upon the Harvard football coaching problem, His contract as head coach with the Crimson author- ities has expired and he has made no announcement as to whether he would undertake the direction of the eleven again, although his statement that he would devote his time in the future to the interests of the Braves is con- i sidered significant, Haughton announced last night that be no immediate changes in the Braves, and it is doubtful if any will be mede until Manager Stal- lings is conferred with, It is felt by Mr. Haughton and his assoclates that the basehall public hereabouts desired local control, and for this reason they believe that the team can be made a financlal success. While the team will be run along business-like lines, it will be the, am- bition of the rew owners to regain the world’s championship, and to do this they will spend money,in an eftort to build up a pennant-winning team.
