11. Baseball's biggest conference in 15 years began today when Judge Kenesaw M. Lan-dis. new commissioner of baseball, met committees of the National League, the "'American League and the National Association of Baseball Leagues (the minors) at the Hotel Commodore to begin the task of working out "a new constitution for organized baseball to take the place of the old national agreement. The magnates went to work with a will.

There were none of the long drawn out 'discussions and wrangles of previous years. With Judge Lan-rtis presiding' there was little bickering- and the animosity over the draft between the majors and minors seemed to have died out. They in-fended to finish the whole matter on Thursday of next week at a joint meeting here, but late in the evening plans were changed because of personal business which calls Judge Land is back to Chicago tomorrow. The agreement will be drawn up ifame. Jack had previously knocked VllltlgiJ IJUW 1C1 0 GRAMMAR SCHOOL BASKETBALL SCHEDULE out tnal poor oia nunc Jim riun and a nonentity named Homer Smith.

Take 62-Pin Lead Brennan surprised the talent by landing heavily on Dempsey several times and it is this fact that induces his manager to figure him a possible balanced line. It is slightly stronger on one side, the right, which with McMillan as tackle and Miller at end. is formidable. The left side is no so strong; but the line as a whole i probably more powerful than that of Ohio State, especially on line drives. Toomey the Backfield Star.

In the backfield, Morrison, the fullback, and Sprott. the right halfback, are both line hitters of ability, the former being particularly good; but Toomey who plays left half is the star of the team.
