ouvT! BASB BALL MEET IS ON TOHORROW Committee to Put the Finishing! Touches to Settlement Will ‘ Assemble Then, | o COMMISSION AT CINCINNATI CINCINNATI, O, Jan. 8~The commit- tee appointed at the recent meeting of the base ball peace conference hero to sottle the dispute betwoen the Federal and International leagues will meet here next Wednesday at noon. This decision ‘was reached at a meeting of the members of the National commission hers today. The committes, composed of President James A, Gllmore of the Federal league, President ‘Bdward Barrows of the Inter- national league, a representative of the Baltimore Federal league club, a repre- sentative of the Buffalo Federal league club, and the members of the National base ball commission. Various Matters Up. At the meeting here today various mat- y ters that have to do with the readjust- ment of base ball affairs to conform with the recent treaty of peace were dis- cussed informally, and other than the i announcement that the date and place of the committe meeting had been fixed, no news of a definite character came from the meeting room. It is known semi-officially, however, that the walver question, Insofar as it concerns the Federal league players, was taken up, thoroughly gone into, and then lald over to be decided finally by the Joint committee on Wednesday. It s also known that there are a num- ber of small matters that will be decided one way or the ather at the meeting uf the joint committee, other thun the waiver Question and the International league dispute. » d Not 'mportance, What these matters are was not allowed to be divulged, but one mah high in base ball circles sald: "It is natural that there are a number of detalls that are bound to conflict when peace is declared between two bodies. None of these detallsh are of importance of course, will be that of the dispute be- tween the International league and the (ederal leagie, and the walver question. | Tnsofar as the former is concerned, V} ‘can say very little, but in regard to the ‘walver question I believe this will bo | decided quickly after the situation is ex- plained to all of those concerncd.” Another mecting of the National com- mission will be held tomorrow and It 1y probable that the officers for the year ‘will be ehosen at that time.

He walked down Market street with his six feet two of muscle topped by a solid fvory dome and attracted the eye of Spider Kelly, the great handler. Spider lured Toothpick into a soda store, had him sign a contract for ten years and then gave him some lessons in boxing. A week later Spider had Tooth- pick signed up with a big black mauler called the Congo Thunder- bolt. The latter was noted as a ter- rific hitter, but a hick boxer. Spider Kelly knew this, but his charge was aware of nothing except that he knew when meals should be served. He was dead from the neck up. The night of the fight came and Spider with his man mountain en- tered the ring. The Toothpick tow- ered over his manager as the Singer building does over a flivver.

PARIS, Jan, 5.—The war office tonight {ssued the following statement: “In Belglum a bombardment by our fleld artillery and trench mortars against groups of the enemy in the region of the Dunes caused heavy damage. Two fires were started and two munitions depots were blown up. “In the Argonne the fire of our bat- teries dispersed a body of Germans mov- ing upon the road from Avoncourt to Maloncourt. “On the heights of the Meuse in the forest of Chavelers a neavy cannonade directed against the enemy’s trenches caused the destruction of several block- houses. “In the afternoon two shells fell in Nancy. The enemy's gun from which they came was immediately taken under our fire. “In the re; of Hartmans-Weilerkopt the enemy carried on a violent bombard« ment, following which our troops retired along a front of 200 mewers on the wests" ern slde of the ravine to the south of Rehfelsen.

The law gen- erally has been regarded as a dead letter, but with the outbreak of the Kuropean war, interest In it was revived, and the Nebraska City school board was asked to enforce it. It refused and on a man- | damus suit the district court upheld the law. The board, in turn, appesled to the higher court. One of the features of the suit is that while eGrman-Americans aro insisting on the enactment belng obeyed, three members of the school board of German descent are the most pronounced in refusing to enforce the law.
