JOHNSON SAYS END IS NEAR CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—That a base ball peace pact was actually signed ana sealed last week, and that only the details re- main to be worked out at the meeting between the Natlonal commission and representatives of the Federal league in Cincinnati Tuesday, was the statement made here today by a man who is finan- clally interested in the peace terms. According to this statement, it was agreed at the New York meeting that the Federal league retain all its players, re- imbursing its backers from their sale to clubs in organized base ball and that the American and Natlonal leagues reimburse the Wards of Brooklyn for their outlay, the Federals on their part agreeing to withdraw from the field, Members of the party who returned to- day from New York were s'lent the subject of the meeting, though Prc’dflt Johnson again said peace was sure ti come. He and President Chivington of the American assoclation, will goto Cin- cinnati tomorrow to take part in the financial deliberations meeting there, the other members of the National commis- sion, the Federal league's representatives anq those of the National assoc‘'ation Seventy Taken Care of Of the ball players In the Federal | league roster, seventy, it is said, are under “iron-clad” contracts extending a year or more. Their combined salaries amount to more than $30,000 a year. This includes, however, those under contract to the Chicago Federals, who, if the sale of the Cubs goes throvgh, will be r3- tained by Charles Weeghman. The Fed- erals’ control of the players s to last un- til the beginning of the season of 1917, according to the peace agreement, as its terms were given by the above authorll The relmbursement of the Wards was previously announced as part of the terms. The agreement includes no men- tion of the sale of any clubs in American | or National leagues, this being left to in- dividuals, but it' was sald here today, that Mr. Weeghman and probably Harry Sin- clair were pretty certain to buy the Cubs and that the St. Louis Federal league owners expected to negotiate for the Browns. Some of the Federal league owners, it is understood, were Inclined to balk after the agreement why signed, but organized base ball men here declare there was no chance of their starting again. Solution of the Baltimore problem may remove what little oppositon remains. Regulars Surprised. According to a story brought from New York, the organized ball contingent at the peace meeting were surprised at the con- cessions offered by the Federals. It is sald they would not have nsked as much ag the third league was willing to grant. The main point for which drganized ball stood—the elimination of the rival-was accomplished and it is believed the with- drawal of the suit now pending in Judge Landis' court w'll be asked soon by the Federal league, as plaintiff. There Is small chance that the Cleve- land American assoclation franchise will be moved to Chicago If the Cubs abandon the west side, it was sa'd Seats on Sale for Burgess-Nash Game With the All-Stars Basket ball fans are in store for a rare treat Tuesday evening when the fast Burgess-Nash quintet of Omaha and the All-Stars from Lincoin led by Dick Ruth- erferd, famous Cornhusker. battle at the | Young Men's Christian association.

Now for certaln reasons, which T do not care to discuss, 1 feel that I am ready to withdraw. "1 feel that I could riot accept a secretaryship nor a business managership of any merged ball club. ;I played for larger stakes than that and I can't play again.” His reslénation ‘was & sorpriké to local followers of the game.

MEETS GREEK ON TUESDAY That Charley Petérs can throw any man Joe Stecher has thrown is an assertion made by Farmer Burns in speaking of the approaching wrestling match between Peters and George Kuvaros, the Greek, at the Auditorium Tuesday night. Burns declares Stecher is, in his belief, the only man in the country Peters could not beat, and he says the Papillion grappler would show the Dodge county lad a swell tussle, Peters has been wrestling more or less for six years. He has never been very actively engaged In the professional game and wrestles more for the sport of the thing than anything else. He weighs about 15 pounds, some twenty or twenty-five pounds less than the Greek, but He is fast as lightning and is a heady grappler. Kuvaros, on the other hand, comes highly touted as a coming champ. Will Barton, his manager, says Kuvaros is as 800od a prespect as Strangler Lewls and that is going some, Barton says Kuvaros will fool the Omahans and show them something swift in the matt game. Examined by Physicia: Both Peters and Kuvaros were exam- ined by Dr. Stewart McDalrmid, who was Just appointed by the city to examine all wrestlers matched at the Auditorium so that the public will be assured the men it pays money to see in action are in good physical condition. The physi n says both men are in the best of condition.
