Cincinnati, 0., Dec. 21.—Charles Weegham of the Chicago Federal League’ club will obtain control of the Chicago Natlonals, while Phil Ball, of St. Louis, will buy the St. Louis Americans if the peace treaty between organized baseball and the Federal League is signed. According to a statement coming from the con ference of these two bodies tonight, “a settlement will be reached at an early hour.” Shortly after seven o'clock tonight the committee representing organized baseball and the Federal League a journed until 8:30 o'clock and gave out the following cfiicial statement: PEACE TREATY IN n’fienm' WORLD With Exception of the Matter Concerning the International League All Conditions Have Been Agreed to—At- torneys Have Been Instructed to Draw Up. Necessary Papers for Signature Today. “The early hours of the meeting were devoted to matters pertaining to the International lLeague These were temporarily laid aside.

That the question of the disposition of plavers was the prime topic dis- cussed at tne meeting today, was in- dicated Dby the calling of aimost every National and American League men in the city into the committee room during the afternnon session.

Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 21.—The Harvard athletic council tonight an- nounced that fifty-four names of grad- vates and undergraduates had been Dblacklisted because tickets allotted to them for the Harvard-Yaley football game this fall had heen fould in tte hands of speculatovs. In the future no application_ for tickets by these men will be honored, it was stated. The number of tickets reaching the speculators was remarkably small this year, the coancil reported. Un dergraduate and dental school stud- ents were the ch'ct offenders, ul though cne officer o’ the university was found guilty. SOCCER IN GREAT BRITAIN. Sectional Leaders Gradually Wider Gap. Open Though each succeeding week there are several surprises in the results of the soccer games abroad, they have MARKET EXTREMELY DULL. Dealings Seemed to Lack Impul. Initiative of Any Kind. or New York, Dec. 2L.—The low ebb of trading for a fortnight or more was reached today, the turnover falling to the insignificant total of 340,000 shares. Dealings seemed to lack impulse or initiative of any kind, although some concern was expressed regarding the outcome of the note to Austria, which is to be made public tomorrow. Other features of the foreign situa- tion, including the partial abandon ment by the allies of the Gallipoli campaign and the frank utterances of Great Britain’s minister of munitions, were received with some misgivings. London and the continent continued to offer our securities for sale in this market, but these were light enough to find free absorption. Developments, chiefly of a helpful character, included an advance in Tre- fined copper to 20 1-4 cents, with some producers holding off for a fraction over that figure, and the publication of the Baltimore and Ohlo railroad’s November earnings, disclosing a net increase of $1,176,000. If the latter may be accepted as a pretude to simi- lar exhibits, further record-breaking railroad returns are certain. More uniformity was shown by the movement of foreign exchange, the strength’ of rates to all the principal Eurepean centers of finance reflecting active buying of commercial bills. There was also a broader inquiry for the Anglo-French bonds between 94 3-4 and 93, the total overturn approximat- ing $1,500,000. A succession of narrow dips and ad- vances was recorded by the stock mar- ket, lowest prices being made at mid- day, when United States Steel and some of the rails were under moderate pressure. American Smelting was again the leader, its sales on the steady rise of 2 7-8 to 104 7-8 far exceeding those of Steel. That stock fluctuated narrowly, and other leaders, including rails, mdnifested an irregular trend. Specialties moved in a wider radius, some issues showing obvious manipu- Iation. Bonds in_ general evinced a lower level on light operations. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,730,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. STOCKS.

Mystic, Dec. 21.—A very lively game of basketball took place in Columbus hall on Tuesday evening with the largest crowd of the season greeting the Newport Naval Reserve team and the Mystic team. The visitors ar- rived in Mystic on Tuesday afternoon at 3.30 and were entertained at sup- per by Manager Bliven. After the game the sailors were given a recep- tion and stayed in town all night. The first half of the game was a bit rough but after a signal from Referee Den- ehee, the game quieted down and the first resulted 22 to 6 in favor of Mys- tic.

Louls Pieper, vice president of the Lynn club, still thinks there is a chanc for the merger. He says: “I wasn't particularly pleased at the action of the committee in telling O'Rourke and Zeller of the Eastern association that they had until Jan. 17 to show six cities prepared to start in 1916, for the orgamization of a new league means a lot of work, and we should have no obstacle in the way. I know Zeller and O'Rourke will be unable to dig up the six citles, but the point is that valu- able time is belng lost meanwhile. We should be working on a new organiza- tion right now, but are not in a posi- tion. to, because of the action of the merger committee. “Sentiment in Hartford and Spring- fleld is very strong for a new league comprising " cities of approximately 100,000 inhabitants each. The press is very strong for sych an organisation and very set against the old order of baseball, which was never a paying preposition and which was never fully satisfactory to the public. How O'Rourke and Zeller can do business against such sentiment I am at a loss i In fact, I know they. “We have been campaigning hard for the new league. Much work has been putin. Tim Murnane told me he stood for the merger, on the final showdown, and I was amazed when he and the other members of the com- mittee, while not turning down the proposition, set up an -obstacle by vot- ing to give O'Rourke and Zeller a month in which to prepare a report of their ability to organize six cities for 1916. Waste of time isn't the only drawback. The move makes the public apprehensive as to whether or not baseball is in proper hands when a committee will deliberately ignore con- ditions known to be almost ridiculous as affecting the future of the game. I have no doubt that Zeller and O'Rourke will now get busy, and will do their \best to interest business men in sev- eral cities in their derelict; and pos- sibly they will come to the front on Jan. 17 with an optimistic report; but, knowing. the ground as I do, I am ab- solutely certain they cannot organize a workable circuit, and their report will be exposed to the severest tests possible before it will be jammed down fandom’s throat. “If the permanent good of baseball can be jeopardized by the whim of a couple of men, then baseball is in a bad way as an organization, and the sooner radical changes are made the better. In Hartford, Owner Clarkin says positively, he will not permit the use of his park for baseball in the old Eastern association. In Springfield, Owner Carey will not have anything to do with the old league. The press of these cities is bitterly antagonistic, so that baseball of the old order would die a natural death ere the adult stage of its attempted rejuvenation was reached. “Zeller claims_valuable interests in Vorthampton. Possibly he has some money invested, but he has no rights in organized baseball. He sent his check to Secretary Farrell for protec- tion, but he alse instructed the sec- retary not to cash the check until a later” time, when he would give him word. That didn’t serve the purpose in baseball law, and I am amazed that Zeller should be considered at all. “I am pleased to learn that Lowell s contemplating the building of a Merrimac river stadium. It is an ex- cellent idea, and fits in very well with plans for class A baseball which I am sure is coming, despite the gross error made in wasting a month of time by ving O'Rourke and Zel til Jan. 17 to make a report as to their ability or inability to start in 1916. didn’t start in 1915, so how are they going to have any better success the | coming year? It can’t be done.” DATES OF PRINCETON GAMES SATISFACTORY.

There have been few instances where athletes have re- tained the form they showed in one big game for another big game two weeks after. But “Pooch” having superintended the process .r years, knows how te do it. The result is that Harvard annual- ly takes a certain chance of having the team go stale for the Yale game, since it is driven to top form for the game with Princeton two weeks be- fore. But the faith that Percy D. Haughton has always placed in the trainer has been well-grounded, for he has not yet failed to produce a Harvard team that was able to cope to the fullest extent with any Yale onslaught. Princeton canrot see the force of the argument, however. The Tigers play their first big game with lar- ‘ard and the following week meet | Yale, thus closing the Tiger schedule a week earlier than the list is fin- ished at New Haven or Cgmbridge Princeton discounts the theory that a teaim cannot maintain its form for more than ten days and wants just one trial to be convinced. COURTNEY LIKES JUNE 17 Thinks it Best Date for Poughkeepsie Regatta—Coach Still Laid Up. Charles E. Courtne Cornell crews, who has been confined to his home almost constantly siny the Poughkeepsie regatta, is rapidly recovering his heaith. Although it will take at least two months mors before the old man is able to resume his work with the Cornell carsmen, the veteran coach Is taking an coach of the tive interest in the rowi Courtney. on reading seve that the board of rowing stewa bave been asked to change the raed date for the mext Pcu sie regaita because of the inconven- | ience to which June 17, the early date {decided on tentatively, would put several of the Cornell and Columbia students to, as that date falls during examination week, said thst & games on successive Saturdays, leav- ing Harvard to enjoy the annual ad- vantage of a two weeks' rest between Its most importan contests. It is Princeton’s contention that the benefits resulting from the exera week that Harvard enjoys are too great to be given to the same team every vear. The Jersey idea was to eprinkle the big games around so that Princeton could have a fortnight's rest the first vear, Yale the second year and Harvard the third year. Thi: would mean that every three years the Harvard-Yale game would have to be _plaved before the Yale-Prince- ton coitest. Harvard and Yale have both ex- pressed their satisfaction with the present arranzement of the schedules, #0 Princeton is alone in the lament. The two big games, coming on con- secutive weeks as they do, fit in per- fectly with Yale's scheme of driving the Eli eleven to top-notch form at the close of the season. It is gen- erally conceded that a football cannot remain in the so-called pink of condition for more than ten days, so Yale prefers to have the Prince- ton and Harvard engagements take place within eight davs, to get the full benefit of a. fighting Yale team that is at the crest of its form.
