The committee submitted two tentative agreements, one between the National and American league and the other between the two major leagues and the National Association - of ¢ | Profession 1t leagues, the minor orgamization, \ _Action on the agreement befween the two major leagues will be taken at their annual meetings, that of the National league ‘on Tuesday in this city and the American leagug at Chicago Friday.

The point was not el ntely settled by the committees becauss, of the know opposition of the American association and fhe International league tp the restoration of the draft.

The clause wopld permit the drafting of play- ers by the major eagues only from those lower leagues that favor such operation. but any minor Jeagues that rejects the proposition will not be permitted to draft players fro mleagues of lower. classifica- tion. Thus if the American assaciation and the International Jeague lontinue their opposition to the draft they will be pro- hibited from. drafting players from the leagues of lower classification that adoot the provision, and the two.class AA cir- cuits then would be restricted to obtain: ing mew players by outright ‘purchases or by developing plgy‘elrs not connected with: organized .baseball.

The committee finally has reached an agreement on their report “concerning . this question, but as past experience has proted on other questions, an agreement in committee does not generally indicate an agreement on the floor of the assembly. Hops is ex- pressed, however, that this committeg's report will pe disposed of tomprrow. While the‘assembly thus far has weath- ed its most . critical phases, there i8 a feeling that the last week may develop a very dangerous situation, and a ‘su- preme effort is being made in the general committee ‘of the assembly to avoid an issue on the Bolivian-Chilean § reaty question.

A “safe and sane” way to help striking miners in the tent colonies, if the state is inclined to investigate the condtions, Fowler declared, would be for Governor Cornwell to compel the coal op- erators ‘to sit at a conference table” to settle the strike. Charged with having been implicated in the death of Burman Hatfield, a Mingo county deputy. sheriff, whose body was found' just across the McDowell county line on July 14, five men were arrested at War Eagle today and brought to the Min- g0 county i@ here.

I see Only bare trunk and disieaved be : When springs, of life that gléamed Kus! Run chitied, and siower, and are bushed ; When, our own branches, naked long, . The vacant nests of spring betray, Nurseries of passion, love and song That vanished as our year. grew gray;j When life drones o'er a tale twice told O'er embers pleading with the cold— T'll trust that, like the birds of spring, Qur »ood zoes not without répair, But enly flies to soar and sing Far off in some diviner air, Where we shall find it in_the calms Of that fair garden 'neath the palms. —Lowell. THE TOUCH OF HUMAN HANDS, Among the hilis of Galilee. Through crowded eity ways, The Christ of God went forth to heal And bless in oiden days, The sinning’and the sud of heart In anxious throngs were massed To catch the Great Physician’s ey® And touch Him as He passed. We have not in our hours of need His seamless garments yressed, Nor feit His tender human hand On us in blessing rest; Yet still in crowded eity streets The Clirist goes forth again. Whenever touch of human hand Bespeaks good will to men. Whenever ‘mun his brother man - Upholds in helpfulness, Whenever strong and tender clasp A lonely heart doth bless, - The Christ of God is answering A stricken world's demands, And ‘leading back a wandering race By touch of human hands. —PBritish Weekly, ks HUMOR OF THE DAY Mother—Poor boy, how did you burt your finger so? 2 Little Son—With a hammer, Mother—Whien?
