Surprised At Feds Concession Two Majors Would Not Have Asked as Much as the Federal League Offered to Give—Reported Third League As- sumes Their Withdrawal From the Field But Will Re- tain Their Players Until the Opening of the 1917 Season Chicago, Dec. 19.—According to a statement made today by a man fi- nancially interested in the negotia- tions, representatives of the Federal, National and American leagues signed a peace agreement at the New York meeting insuring the withdrawal from the fleld of the Federal league without the assumption of contract obligations with its players by the older organiza- tions. Feds to Retain Players Until 1917. According to this _authority the agreement provides that the Federal league retains its_players until the opening of the 1917 season, paying all salaries called for by contracts and reimbursing its backers from the sale of players to clubs in organized base- ball. Another provision of the agree- ment, it was said. was that the Wards of Brooklyn were to be reimbursed for their outlay in the Federal league by the American and National leagues. This stipulation previously had been announced. According to the authority quoted above, the meeting to be heid at Cin- cinnati Tuesday has only details to consider. Among these items W the disposition of the Baltimore Fed- eral league club which is reported to desire a place in some recognized or- ganization. According to the red to, no mention was made in peiace agreement of the sale of National or American league club to Federal league backe It was said this was left to individual negotis tions. It was reported herc today, however, that Charles Weeghman of refer- the statement any i the Chicago Federals and Harry Sin- clair of the New York club were al- most_certain to buy the Chicago Na- tionals and that the St. Louis Fed- eral league owners were expected to negotiate for the purchase of the St. Louis Browns. League Roster Totals 70. Of the ball players included in the Federal League roster, 70, it is said, are under “iron clad” contracts ex- tending a year or more. The com- bined salaries called for by their con- tracts amount to more than $300,000 a year. This, however, includes those under contract to the Chicago Feder- als who would be retained by owner Weeghman should the latter pur- e the Cubs. Some of the Federal League owners, it was said, wereinclined to balk after the alleged agreement was signed, but men here representing organized base- Federal ball said there was no chance that they would start their circuit again. Hope was expressed that the solution at Cincinnati of the Baltimore prob- lem might remove what little opposi~ tion remained. According to a story brought from N | ized York, representatives of organ- baseball were surprised at the concessions offered by the Federals. Tt was said the older organizations would not have asked as much as the | third league offered to grant. Representatives who attended the New York meeting and who returnea home tos declined to discu: the proceedings ' there, although President | Johnson of the American league said was sure to come.

Herrmann when shown a telegram from Chicago to the effect that an agreement had been signed in New York. “That is what the commission will meet here Tuesday for,” continued Mr. Herr- mann Peace, Mr. Herrmann believes, is a certainty and, according to his state- ment 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. HAVERFORD WINS COLLEGE SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP. By Playing a Tie Game With Univer- sity of Penn. By playing a tie game with Uni- versity of Penn, Haverford won the Intercolligiate Soccer champlonship, Saturday at_Haverford, playing a tie game with Pennsylvania in the last zame of the tnnual series between the seven universities in the league. Each side scored one goal. Both points were obtained in the first period of play. Haverford had the advantage be- fore play started on account of a one-point lead and finished the series with a total of § points, as against a total of 8 points for Pennsylvania. The new champions’ record included victories over Harvard, Yale, Colum- bit and Princeton and tie games with Cornell and Pernsylvania. The Penn boys plaved est game of the season. The field was muddy and caused much slipping. The Haverford defense, however, was supez> and J. Shipley was a safe| custodian throughout, except when Baron shot a very difficult goal for Pennsvivania. Gardner and W. Shipley lent splendid support on the back division, but the greatest work of any player on elther side was shown by Hallett, the Haverford right halfback, who carried off the indi- vidual honors of the day.

The defeated bowlers have not quite figured out the cause of their slump, but they lay it perhaps to the tem- porarily poor coaching of Head Coach Sullivan.

James Wray, the veteran coach who has been in charge of Harvard rowing for the past eleven vears and was re cently deposed after Harvard had twice in succession been defeated by Yale, comes in for severe criticism in the current issue of the Harvard Graduates' Monthly. The article is written by Franc Peabody of the class of 1880, who is an authority on intercollegiate rowing. “Some of us who have followed uni- H. Smith at J. P. Barstow & BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion. One package proves it. 25c at all druggists. versity rowing for the last eleven years firmly believe that Wray has had unusually good material ever since he has been coaching,” says Mr. Peabody, “and we equally firmly belleve that during all these years Wray should have won all the Yale and a mafjority of the Cornell races and should cer- tainly have beaten Columbia and Princeton.” As a matter of fact, during this pe- riod Harvard has won seven out of eleven Yale races and two out of | eleven Cornell races. “Is it not literally true that mot one of Wray's crews has ever beaten a crew physically its equal?” asks Mr. Peabody. “Surely no one who saw this year's race can doubt that the eizht fine men who sat in the Harvard crew, if eoach- ed by Nickalls (the Yale coach), would easily have beaten the lighter Yale crew if coached by Wray.” Wray has a contract with Harvard which does not expire until after the Yale race of 1919. He will continue in the Harvard employ under this contract, receiving his regular salary, but Robert Herrick will be in charge of Harvard rowing, and the head coach under Mr. Herrick will be William Haines, formerly professional coach of the Union Boat club, Boston. BROWN ELEVEN LEAVES FOR CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY Providence Team in Good Condition— Longest Trip for a Single Game Ever Mada by American Colloge. Brown university’s football team will_leave Providence Wednesday on its 3,000 mile trip to Pasadena, to play Washington on New Year's v. The trip will be one of the longest ever taken by an American college football team for a single game. The Washington. team has made a great record this season, but Brown undergraduates and alumni look to see their eleven gain a vic- tor: Coach Robinson and Archie Hahn, the track coach, who has been as- sisting in football work since the ac- tive track season closed, while they will not talk on Brown's prospects for the game, seem optimistic and this feeling is shared by Brown men in general. The Providence boys had some hard practice last week for the contest, but they will take it e this week before starting on their long trip. ‘'ne Brown squad will stop off in Chicago for a short practice and will arrive on the coast several days be- | fore the zame, so that Robinson and Hahn are no{ worrying much over having the eleven that faces Wash- ington in fine condition for the big intersectional gridiron battle. At the present time all of the men on the juad, with the exception of Fraser, re in good condition. Fraser has a weak ankle which still bothers him consi derably, but it is ex- pected that he will be in shape for the New Year's day game. Maxwell, who was on the injured list for a good share of the past season, is rap- idly rounding into form and the coach- es are confilent he will Ye able to start in the game asainst Washington ‘While the lineup for the game in California_has not yet been announced it is thought that practically the same team which represented Brown in most of the games this fall will take the field against the Pacific coast stars. The team is expected to return to Providence about Jan. 7. BREACH OF CONTRACT TO BE CHARGED AGAINST WOLGAST Violated Agreements with the Harlem Sporting Club.
