The mnext session of the { league will probably not be held until its committee having in charge the task of concluding a “peage” arrangement with the American League is ready to. repo.g Before the election of officers the peace committee, consisting of August Herr- man’of Cincinnati, James A. Hart of Chi- |,cago and Frank de Hass Robinson of St. Louls, met the peace committee of the American League—Ban Johnson, J. F. Kilfoyle and James Summers—at the Cri- terion Hotel. The session of the commit- tce was executive. The principal business transacted by the National League mem- bers to-day was the abolition of the ex: | geutive committee and the unanimous se- lection of Harry Pulliam of Pittsburg to the consolidated offices of president, sec- retary and treasurer, The following new board of directors was elected: John T. Brush, New York; A. H. Boden, Boston; Barney Dreyfuss, Pittsburg, and James A. Hart, Chicago. Mr. Johnson to-day admitted that under no circumstances would the American League consent to withdraw from New York. The American League will, it is understood, insist in the peace negotia- tions that contracts with players now sigr:ed be rigidly lived up to. This means that large salaries, if peace is declared, will! be maintf!ned only until the present contracts expire, when the; - L 'y will be great —_— Kid McFadden a Winner.

Over the Ring Until the Po}ice Stop Proceedings Weaklin Gets Decision Over Lamphier in- a " Listless Four. - Round Exhibition The Ariel Club held its regular monthly boxing exhibition at the Mechanics’ Pa- vilion Annex last night before a crowded bhouse. The bouts were all rather tame, but thére was blood and gore enough in the mill between Pete McGee and George Braun to offset all the other weak scraps. The Ariel Club contemplates retiring from the boxing business and last night's exhibition will probably be the last given by the rowing organization. The mix-up between Braun, the Oly: pic Club boy, and McGee, “the iron man,” while not carded as the main event, was certainly the one that got the money. The fight lasted three rounds and was then stopped by the police after poor old Me- Gee was beaten up in such a manner that the people thought he nad been: cut to pleces. Braun stirted at his man just as soon as the bell tapped for business and never let up for a single moment till the police mercifully stopped hostilities in the third. The main event of ine night between Frank Wgaklin and Casper Lamphier looked go8d on paper, but in action it was bad. Neither knew a thing about the game. ; Lamphier was afraid of the black boy all the time. Little or no punching was done and whén the purlesque ended ‘Weaklin was handed the palm of victory. Joe Crowley put Chick Bowman to the land of nod after three rounds of good, hard fighting. Both boys were game and fought hapd. Dick Cullen was tao clever for Dick Murray and easily outpointed him in four rounds. Joe Carroll hit Pete Root a couple of tame blows and the lat- ter went down and out in a round. Kid Parker outpointed Joe Reilly after some clever give and take work by both boys. William Stewart puncied H. Haines around the ring for two rounds and the latter, thinking he had enough, grace- tully went to sleep. NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.

MACKAY and his party were entertained at an in- formal breakfast at the Clift House after it had been determined to walt until to-day to make a further effort Andrea Sbarboro pre- sided. The delay in the proceedings at the-beach had made kgnny invited guests think that the breakfast would be post- poned and the party was smaller than had been expected. Mr. Mackay was in excellent spirits. A. Sbarboro, acting -as tcastmaster, proposed the health and prosperity of Mr. Mackay and the success of his undertaking. This was the signal fcr all guests to rise. Mr. Mackay re- sponded briefly. - “I hope to meet you all again to-mor- row,” he said, “and also hope that then you will see the cable going away from the shore instead of coming toward it.” 3 OE CANTILLION’S shining lights from the American Baseball League tramped around the fleld at 1 Recreation Park yesterday after- noon, and with a little preliminary flourish introduced themselves to the ad- mirers of the game. The Oakland team, proud champions of the California League, were the victims of the flourish.

Time of game— F It was, indeed, a pitiful sight to see them all go up in the air and struggle feebiy along and flnally to pass the wire with the odds 7'to 1 against them. The fleld was in splendid order, not- withstanding the recent rain. The at- tendance was small because of the cold weather. Every one in the stands and on the bleachers yelled and howled for Oak- land, and nearly every one left the grounds in a disappointed frame of mind at the pitiful showing Uncle Peter's men made. Oakland did not pyf up such a miser- able exhibition all sefison. The team was rattled from the outset, and never for a single moment did the men regain their senses. Even the reliable Peter was bad- 1y off color and was responsible for a couple of runs. There may have been too much Christmas cheer in the veins of the players. The men from the big league certainly played ball from the call of time. It was a revelation to see them field the sphere and throw it around the diamond with the utmost ease. They ran bases in grand style, and placed the ball in a manner which kept the Oakland fielders thinking all the time. The big league stars were given a hearty reception when they strolled out upon the diamond. Each man looked in the pink of condition and hopped around llke a rabbit. They were adorned in white shirts, blue knickerbockers, blue stockings dotted with stars, blue and white caps and red belts. The uniform i3 decidedly natty and trim in appear- ance. . Some familiar faces were noticed among STORM BARS \ THE PLAY OF TENNIS MEN Renders Both the Public and the Club Courts Unfit Even for Practice Games HE stormy weather during the past week has been a bar to tennis. The attendance on the park and the Cali- fornia Club courts has been light. The mixed doubles tournament, set for to-day on the public courts, has been postponed until after Christmas. ¢ This is due to the fact that the ladies in charge are too busy arranging for the bay counties’ meet to give the neces- sary time to the mixed doubles event. The big tournaments being planned by the ladies will be held on the park courts on the 19th and 20th of this month. The committee in charge has applied to the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Association for permission to hold championship tour- naments in both singles and doubles. They will be for the championship of the bay counties and must of necessity be open events. The Ladies’ Annex' to the park club has the affair in charge and is working hard to score a success. It is the first affgir of the kirid ever held here and is attracting attention among tennis players all over the Btate. Valuable trophies will be offered for each of the events. Besides the ladies of the park and California clubs there will be players from San Matéo, Alameda, San Rafael, Sacramento, Berkeley and the two uni- versities, the Girls’ High School and the Young Women's Christian Association. The ladies of the University of Cali- fornia have sent a formal challenge to the ladies of the park to play both singles and doubles matches in the early part of January. X The Christmas tournaments to be held in the eity are rather uncertain as yet. The park vlayers are planning a big open touinament, in which the California Club players will be invited to play. The club- men have not decided whether they will hold a tournament on the 2%th or not. Joseph D. Grant has donated a cup to be played for by the clubmen. The tourna- ment committee has not decided anything definitely in regard to its disposition. . —————e .

Harry Davis is doing business at first, just as he was last winter. Bernhard and Mercer are also among the crowd, but the remainder are new to local fandom. They are sure to make friends in a hurry. The Oakland team lined up as it has been doing all season. Cooper, the south- pew, was on the slab and he pitched a fair sort of game. His control was just a little on the wane, but until his support began to grow decidedly bad he pitched gcod ball and had the big ones in a quan- dary for a time. Big Bill Bernhard of Cleveland shot over the curves for the big leaguers. Nothing wonderful can be said of his pitching. Oakland found him for eight singles, and if the team had not been quite so high up in the atmosphere Mr. Bernhard would have surely received a merry little beating. The game started well for Oakland. Walters, the first man up, hit a grounder to Bernhard, who fumbled, and the run- ner was safe. Mohler tried to sacrifice, but flew to Davis. Dunleavy singled to left field and MecCreedie followed suit. Streib drove a long fly to right field, and ‘Walters came in with Oakland’s lone run. In the second Coughlin for the Ameri- cans tore off a double to left and went to third on Jones’ out. He scored soon after on Streib’s fumble of Cross’ grounder. In the third little “Topsy” Hartzell lifted the ball over the center field fence, making the score 2 to 1. Then Oakland began to get a weak feel- ing and gradually the team went to pieces. The wisitors would get free passes, base hits and then steal at will.

Next Saturday at 3 p. m. the meet will take place at Belmont. The run last Saturday was well attend- ed. The ground was somewhat softened by rain. The pack was laid on at 3 in the afterncon at Millbrae and went away at a fast pace. The scent had been laid over the hill from Millbrae to the new dam of the Spring Valley Water Com pany, thence around Black Mountain to the property of George Howard, thence through the Black Hawk ranch to the finish near the Burlingame Country Club house. The run was over varied country and covered about twelve miles. The hounds worked well, keeping together and main- taining a good pace. About a dozen riders followed the hounds, among those who were in at the finish being Walter Hobart, E. Lynch, E. D. Beylard and Duncan Hayne.
