BASEDALL AGREEMENT Detroit, Dec. 13—George H. Maines, president Baseball league, declared his opposi- tion, in a signed statement Nere to- night, to,certain sections of the pro- posed major-minor league agreement which, he says, minors a voice in some strictly minor league affairs. The chief objection was to the make- up “of ‘the advisory council, composed of Jeudge Landis, President Johnson and President Heydler, who, the state- ment said, would have the sole power of-drawing up regulations for the re- latiodship of leagues, ‘the relationship between clubs and .clubs; and ' clubs and players, as well as players’ contracts.

Pressure in. which shorts again -were aciive, began at the outset, injtial quo-| 3% tations showing declines of 1 to 3 points. These were almost steadily extended. there being little or no interruption ml the setback at an ystage. Observers once more attributed much of the gelliug to a desire on the part of corporation and individuals to adjust in- come tax losses prior to payment of the fina] instalment on *Wednesday, but the relentless character of the liquidation geemed to point to more présiing reasons.

INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE New York, Dec. 13—John Conwu: Toole, attorney for the National leagug; today was elected president of the Na- tional Association. of Professional Baseball clubs, the new name adopted by the New Internatinal léagué. Mr. “2oole succeeds David "L: Fuliz. S The retirement of Kultz came as. a surprise and while no official statement concerning it was made,-it is unds stood that major league owners h: brought pressure t bear against his re- election because ‘of his alleged ‘antag- onism to organized bdsgball in the past. The change of namé& was attrib- uted to the desire 4°to place the league on a higher plane.” e R / The election of ‘Mr. Toole came after C. H. Kdapp of Baltimore had'-been chosen “head of the league and then resigned when the leagué temporarily went on record as fayoring a restora- tion of theé drafting of“players, pro- vigion for -which was made optional in/ the proposed new agréement be- tween the major and' minor leagues. Mr. Knapp said he could not- consist- ently hold the office because of his connection with the Baltimore club, which has been an avowed opponent of the draft and has not changed its attitude. 2 The club owners then called into consultation Thomas J. Hickey, presi- dent of the American Association, who told the magnates that his league also was opposed to the draft.. The Nation- al Association then rescinded its action favoring the diaft and adopted a reso- lution opposing .it. Mr. Knapp then was asked to recongider his resigna- tion, butwhe refused. The election of Mr. Toole is for one vear and his salary wak fixed at $7,500. The same as that received by Mr. Fultz. The.president of the league also acts as,secretary and.treasurer. The report of the retiring president for the 1920 season ghowed that the league as a whole enjoyed one of the best Years in its history. EASTERN CONN.

Asked if he did not think that the haste in executing ship construction contraces in the early days of the war: usually sulted in delay in the delivery of v‘,n— sels, Mr. Denman said the board - realized that it wouldn’t get all the ships it or- dered, but that the need for ships was so great it was necessary to "nail down"’| all the companies that possibly eould build ships. 2 ¥ “I never will defend the construction program of the Shipping PBoard on the |’ ground that it “was not wasteful” said Mr, Denman. ‘It necessarily was waste- . ‘enormously so.” Mr. Denman told the committee that Charles M. Scwab contributed more than any other individual to the government’s shipbuilding program. Reverting o the subject ~of - motor ships, Mr. Denman said the rejection by the board of this type of vessel was “the climax in the tragedy of blunders of the Hurley administration.” $ “Our wasteful steam engines ‘are de- pendent on PBritish bunkers,” said the wit- ness. “We can not carry enough fuel to complete our long voyages. We must stop and beg fuel supply at the British and other bunkering stations on the China coast, in Japan, in the Fast In- dies, at Suez, at Aden, In the Mediterran- »an and in the South Atiantic. “How the British coerced our commerce by, bunkering agreements before we en- tered the war, is now history.” NO THONE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND DUBLIN London, Dec. 14—Thgr Daily Mail says prominently in its second edition this morniug that telephone communication between England and Dublin ceased early this mopning.
