Ad Woigast, the former champion lightweight, expects to retire to ons of his farms in the not far distant future and settle down where he can think over his expioits in the ring and _:§ the same time emjoy real country life. Whils Ad was training for his match with Charlie White he had ihe farm bug buzzing for a fare-you-well It seems to me,” said Ad, “that a lot of these fighters buy a great deal of property, but never make anything out of it.

Motorcycle oiulb, nt by Workmen's Public Opinion, According to Attacks of Outlaws in Growing War—National Game Preserved by Orgmizafion Alone—Meeting of National Commission Postponed. Cincinnati, Jan. 7—President John K. Tener of the National League at a meeting of the directors of his organ- ization here today, issued @ statement in which he predicted that public opin- jon would be on the side of organized baseball in case a war is waged by the Federal League. Pointing out that the Federal League attacks upon organized baseball have been confined to two points—that the reserve clause was invalid and that the parties to the national agreement are members of a trust—President Tener voiced his opinion that neither charge could be considered seriously. The statement follows: “Baseball today owes its popularity and very existence to organization. Such organization alone has developed and will preserve and perpetuate the game to and for the American people. Nevertheless organized baseball is be- ing attacked today by those and those only who desire to reap commercial | benefits thereby. Able To Withstand Attacks. “Today, however, finds baseball more completely and thoroughly or- | ganized than ever and, therefore, bet- ter able to withstand and combat the attacks that arc being made upon it., The Federal League does not base its! attacks upon an allegation that the public has not been siven good, clean, high class baseball or that the players have not been fairly treated or paid commensurate salaries, but it is en- deavoring to induce players to break their contracts and seeks to excuse and justify its conduct upon two legal points, namely, the alleged illegality of the reserve clause in the: players contracts and the general statement that organized baseball constitutes a trust. I mean by this that the Federal League has officially announced that it will test the reserve clause in the courts and failing to justify its con- tention of illegality it will then seek d baseball investigat- s a trusi Strength Of Public Opinion. { “But such a threatened war on or- anized baseball, un by promoters simply for financial gain and based upon broken contraects of players, takes no heed or account of the sport-loving public, or the real welfare of our na- tional game; and I believe the disap- proval of such a war at the bar of pub- lic opinion will count far more against this movement and its promoters than technical decision in the courts, even though such courts should again up- hold the legality and iniquity of the reserve clause. Tn point of fact, it is well that the legality of the present form of con- tract between the league and players was- attacked but its validity in law and equity was sustained by the su- preme court in Pennsylvania in the Lajoie case. With respect to the al- legation that either the National or American League, or both of them as parties to the national agreement, are illegal combinations or trusts, in re- straint of trade, or in violation of an- ti-trust statutes, it is difficult to take such declarations seriously. Experi- ence has demonstrated that this na- tional agreement, existing between and ON SIDE OF ORGANIZED BASEBALL President Tener Will Defeat agreement the player has his day in court and through the national com- mission an opportunity is given him for u fair, impartial and thorougn hearing to the end that full justice be done him. Should Draw From Young “We naturally and properly, as sanctioned and sustained by our courts of justice, object to plavers breeking their contracts, but if the proposed Federal league will draw its supply from the growing fleld of basc- ball players coming to the front every vear it will meet with no oppositi)n from us. Spealking for the National League, I may add that we propose to continue our policy of fair dealing with our players and with tie public ani we have no doubt that in so doing, our actions will meet with general appro- Players. No Meeting Of Ccmmission The proposed meeting of the Na- tional Baseball Commission did not take place today, owing part)f to the lengthy meeting of the National League directors and partly to the fact that President Tener had to leave on an early train for the east. When the announcement was made that there would be no further meet- ings of the commission at this ses- sion both major and minor magnates hurriedly packed thelr grips and left town. The committee from the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues Fad hoped to take up several matters with the commission concern- ing legisiation that was brought up at the lust meeting of the national asso- ciatien at Columbus, tut this plar was abandoned when Governor Tener left tow The National vaucped. litte asid issued by Governor Tenmer. The rc quests granted to the Baseball Play ers Fraternity deal entirely with con- tracts and necessitate the changing of the present contract in several partic ulars.

New York, Jan. 7.—Variable price changes and moderate dealings consti- tuted the chief characteristics of to- | day’s stock market, in contrast to the ! feverish activity and strength of the| previous day. The plan of the Union | Pacific road for disposal of its Balti- more and Ohio holdings continued to | be the main toplc of discussion, and | opinions regarding the outcome were | widely aivergent. { Union Pacific moved irregularly the greater part of the session, with some slight gain in the preferred stock and further weakness in the convertible bonds. Baltimore and Ohio common | sold off in the early dealinzs, but more | than recovered later, with a gain in the preferred. The weakness of New York Central and a few other similar | issues suggested apprehensions of divi- dend stability, despite Semi-official as- surances to the contrary. There was some selling at intervais of other rallway shares, part or abso- lute control of which is vested in larger compaaies, on the theory, ap- parently, that t issues may ere long be offered in the open market as { {a result of the various “segregation” | plans now said to be in contemplation. { Intermittent pressure was exerted againat United States Steel and Amal- samated Copper on trade reports of an adverse charac hest { Tn the main, prices of the day { were scored in the final hour, when the {liat recovered from its torpor, with some activity in the shares of westarn rods and several industrials, including International Harvester, which made a dden advance of five potnts.
