TWELVE CLUBS, ONE LEAGUE, GOES NOW. flwankee in the Coid, Progross of Columbus and A Cold Wrld—Great the Peace Conference Other & pe 1sprasarorts, Ind., Dec. 16 boen no developments yet of a startling nature in the leaguc-association conference. Tho single league plan, it is generally be- lioved, will go through The magnutes of the National league re- nowed their session at 11 o'clock this morn- ing and remained together continuously until 2 o'clock, whon President Nick Young announced that matters wero for the two conference committees, The long dis- cussion of its commitiee report by the league is indicative of satisfactory settlement. [I'he plan in its every dewail wis dis- cussed thoroughly, Messrs, Brush, Robinson and Day being kewt busy oxplaining the poluts throughout the meeting. Messrs, Reach and Rogers, representing Philadel- phia, ade s hard fight in respect to tha tarlft in their city, but this was passed over to bo settied at another time. They desire that the admission feo be placed at 25 cents. Chicago, 100, was inclined to object tosome of the provisions, but the members were ret- fcent in talking of this. These differences retarded the work of the day somewhat, Disposition of Play 'he subject of disposition of players has not yet come up,” was Nick Young's responso 10 & query iu this regard. “We will probably not touch upon this question at this session,” he continued, “tnough there is some_sentiment in favor of settling everything at this meeting.” A tallc with prominent representatives of both associations renews the fact that the one great thing to be settled first is the matter of establishing peace. The proposition which goes from the lengue, through its committee, to the associu- tion committeo—Messrs. Von ' Dor Ahe, Von Der Horst and Elliott—inyolves the twelve- club plan solely. It rests witn the associa- tion which clubs of that orgarization shall compose the roster. The ouly controversy will be over Louisville, and Columbus may take tho plum, but it is doubtful, It is pra tically decided that the other cubs will romain as stated heretofore, viz: Boston, Now York, Philadelvnia, Brooklyn, Balti more, Washington, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis. Each Wilingz to Go Half Way. The Chicago association backers have been sat down upon completely, though they will remain and have dim opes of prevent- ing a_consolidation. Tho leaguo does not anticipate having affairs its own way, and it has shrewdly given its committee suficiont latitude to settle amicably most all questions anticipated to avise. The ussociation all through has shown a disposition 10 meet the ieague nall way in all the propositions. The immediate appoint- ment of a poaco committee at the first session showed this. Since yesterday there has been no conferonco of any sort of the associ- ation dolegates. Prosidént Plielps called a meeting for carly this evening, but none of the association people outside the peace com- mittee knows what tho league proposes. This commtteo not being ready to report the meeting was adjourned. Some of the Surmises. ‘There is nothing to do but surinise the situntion. An occasional word from one of the magnates indicates the state of affairs and every assurance is of an amicable settle- ment. The general view of all is that tho trouble mus bo settled at this meeting if base ball is 1o live. Contingent upon the result of the peace meeting a new central loague is talked of. “This wili, of course, be subordivate to the big organization. ' The nucleus is already formod and includes the cities of Indianapg- lis, Columbus, Milwaukee, Detroit ana Buffalo. rs Twelve-Club Leag The general plan for a_ consolidation of the two organizations is now practically mapped out. ‘Tnejoint conference of tho two peace ommittees was finished tonight. The asso- iation peace committee, Von Der Ahe, Von Der Horst and Elliott, met at 8 o'clock with the called meeting of 'the association dele- ates, President Phelps presided. The committee recommended the adoption of the twelve-club league plan. After the adoption of this recommendation the assocation ad- journed. “The conference committeo then arranged to meet sepurately the clubs that have been dropped, Milwaukee and Columbus, and those absorbed, Boston, Chicago ana Phila- deiphia, and explain the plan of their dispo- sition, On tho surface there is kick from any of the clubs ecxcept Chicazo. Columbus was the first club called on for the arrangement of a set- tlement. It is understood her prico for her franchise 15 815,000, Tho representa- tives remained in consultation until 10 o'clock, when Chicago was cnlled. The league has not held a session tonight, but has practically arranged all the details of the plaa in previous meetings. The joint conference betwoon the two or- ganizations will be called some timo tomor- row. The hour has not been sot owing to the uncertaiuty of the association’s settiement with its elubs. e. no apparent DAN DALY A WINNER. Outcom: of His Fight with Dick Hollywood. Deapwoon, 8.

This ‘mude Daly hot, and making rush for bis opponent ho clinened and drove him against the ropes, Hollywood edged out and forced l)uli‘ around the ring, doing some protty work.

The Awmerican, or Fort Omaha, team faced tho men from the land of Burns and oatmeal, and it was thought the Americans would make short work of their onponents, but here everybody was fooled, for the Scotties were out to win and a hard fight they made of it too. The American team marched out first and was greeted by great cheering. Scotlnod's sons also met with a rousing reception a_mo- ment later, The first thirty winutes saw the white murker on u dead lino with the star but at the end of the first hour Scotland had a foot the best of it. At one hour and thirty minutes Scotland gained a cood yavd, and excitement was at voiling pitch. Bwo me one a soldier and the uther a Scotchman, were at this point ordered to behave them- selves or leave the building. as they had comuletely lost control of their tempers The Scotemen at one hour and forty min- utes had ot the rope within two feet of their flag, and the admlrers of the Americans felt blue. At one hour and fifty-five minutes the anchor of the Scotch team got mad at the soldier who bad been roasting him gently ¢ time he could, and as he arose to his feet. the FFort Omaha boys vanked him off his feet and pulled the Scotch team pell-mell over to their flag und won the greatest tug on record by thirty-five minutes, after a great struggle, which would possibly have lasted atl night only for the Scotch anchor's foolish break.
