ETW TORK, Dec. 7. The annual meeting of the National League to ba here next Tuesday will be the first step in baseball reconstruc-, tion made necessary by the war. I Among outstanding questions i which must be considered are the election of a league president, the fnture status of players released out-, right last autumn. National Commia- ion arrangements, playing plans for i 1S19 and limitation of clu-V.

rosters. The election of a president to auc-. teed John K. Tener, who resigned last is espocted to be one of the first features considered. The names of four men have been mentioned in connection with the position.

The four are John A. Hewdler, present 5 secretary-treasurer of th. league; Lieut David I Fultx, former president of the Baseball Players Fraternity; Francis X. McQuade, a city Mag-, istrate of New York, and Robert Brown of Louisrille, Ky. Tleytf ler lgiil Man.

Unless the votes can be centered upon one of these men, there is pos-i slbillty of the election of a "dark horse" as was the case when Thomas 5 3. Lynch was selected to succeed Har-; TT Pulllam. Heydler appears to be the logical nan for the position, but it is under- stood that he is not particularly seek-ing the honor of league executive, be-lag perfectly satisfied with hia pres- place. Fultr, likewise, is a baseball vet-' eran, and in addition has the advantage of legal training. McQuade is a local city Magistrate, noted for hia interest in baseball, while Brown came into baseball prominence sev-; eral years ago when he was advanced mm a candidate for Lynch's place by Barney Oreyfuss and tJarry Ilerr- Baon.

A(TtBeit Between. Omen. The status of the player also must bet settled before big league baseball can proceed, with arrangements of the coming season. While the players were released outright on Sept. 1, In accordance with the "work.or-flght" order, legal opinion appears to be that since the action was necessary to conform with Government orders, the reserve clause in still bind- lng.

As a further sefeguard there is aaid to be working agreements between the magnates of the leagues not to bid for each other's players. Several of the National League magnates are of the opinion that a Joint meeting of the two leagues will be necessary before plans for resumption of baseball on a large scale can completed. The future form and 'personnel of the National Commission 'might be discussed at a meeting of this type, as well as future world se-: rles financial disbursements.

CHICAGO. Dec, V. -Intercollegi ate athletics in the "Western confer ence were restored to a pre-war basis today at a meeting of the "big ten" faculty committee held in connec tion with the scheduled meeting of the athletic directors and coaches. The freshman rule, wiped out when the War Department assumed con trol of the universities to establish Student Army Training Corps, was re stored and the Faculty Committee again came into control of athletics. The committee, however, voted to disregard all eligibility rules pertaining to the 1918 football season, which makes it possible for those who played varsity football to compete for four years in that sport, as well as restoring to their old status students who left school to enter military or naval service.

The annual conference outdoor track and field championship will be held at the University of Chicago on June 7 and the Indoor championships at Northwestern University on March 2-. The swimming championships will be decided at Northwestern on March 21 and the Tennis championships at the University of Chicago on May 29, 30 and 31. Frof. G. A.

In the event that McKinley had triumphed over the Mid-City gridders, the result would have been a deadlock between these two and Soldan. As it is. Central remains the one unconquered high school team of the year. And with the victory comes the coveted honor of acting as official keeper of the Yale bowl for the entire year. The trophy is now in the possession of the crimson eleven.

McKinley. minus a field general and coach, faced the formidable Central eleven with a sufficient amount of grit to compensate for her delinquencies. O'Gorman, substituting at center for Capt. Fries, committed himself worthily by his splendid interference. Several times when Central threatened gains that might have eventuated in a score, O'Gorman's leaping tackles saved the day.

Bremaer amd forger Star. Central's earned triumph was made possible by the brilliant playing of Bremser at halfback, and Yorger at quarter. Both these men, injured early this week, were not expected to play. However, with the championship In view, both men entered the game. Bremser' work in line plnung-ing and his remarkable speed in consideration of weight, brought much comment.

Yorger, whose illness was almost certain to prevent his playing, caught a fumbled ball on his own 10-yard line and dashed 90 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. One of the peculiarities of the game was McKinley's ftolure to successfully execute a single forward pass, although onl four were attempted during the entire game. Forward passing and trick plays were heralded as the Crimson's features and upon these were pased here entire hope for victory. The fundamental blame for the infrequency of her attempts at forward passing may be laid to the speed displayed by Anxalone and Egan, Central's ends, who succeeded in Intercepting all attempted passes. The weight advantage owned by Central was somewhat overcome by McKinley's aggressiveness and aptitude in interference.

The gap left by Capt. Fries took away the heaviest man In McKinley's line. All the scoring in the game came in LEADERS PLAY NATIVITY IN MUNICIPAL FEATURE The feature game in the Municipal Soccer Association today will be that between the Trumbulls, leaders in the Fairground No. 2 Division, and the Nativity.
