Mr. Dreyfuss declared there was no mention of the Cleveland club in the terms he brought. “Peace is better than war,’ said Mr. reyfuss tonight, “and I told the Ameri- n league magnates so. We reached terms with the Federal league, which are agreeablo to both them and the National Jeague, and our proposition met with the approval of the American league. Our close relations with the American league made it desirable that complete accord exist on the question, and it looks as-if we had reached that. No Cleveluna Angle. “I laid: the terms befire the American Jeague at its meeting here, and can say po more about it. I can give out no de- tails. My work is over and I expect to leave for Pittgburgh. There was no Cleve- Jand angle to the terms—the Cleveland club's affairs are in the hands of the American league and our league has noth- | ing to say about them.” ““The end of the base ball war is in sight,” said President Johnson. “The plans for peace submitted by Mr. Drey- fuss were agreeable to. the American Jeague, according to the senseof our meet- ing, and tonight at a later session we shall appoint a committee to go over the details.
