Sixteen owners of major league baseball clubs after scrapping the 12 club league proposal, signed terms of peace, and unanimously offered Judge Landis the control of baseball affairs for seven years at an annual salary of $42,500.

He accepted. Judge Landis will not resign from the bench. The appointment of Judge Landis, and the declartion ot peace, followed a four-hour Joint session of f.nanclal interests of the major leagues. Attorneys, league officials and others were excluded from the meeting. The action ends a baseball war declared last Monday.

Minor leagues have been requested to join with the majors under the Landis regime. A committee was appointed by the Joint session to confer with a committee appointed by the major leagues to effect a new national agreement. Sessions of these committees probably will begin shortly. Judge Landis, in accepting the new position said he was ready to start work immediately. Headquarters of the supreme court of baseball will be established in Chicago.

The question of voting, which was one cause of the breaches in the major leagues was settled by compromise. Tha club owners agreed the vote should be by Individual clubs and if a division then occurred each league would cast a single vote. In event of a tie, it was decided Judge Landis would make the final decision. Presidents of the two leagues were selected as pleaders in all Interleague matters coming before the baseball court, and the court's decision, it was agreed, will be unreviewable.

The full details of the reorganization have not been settled, of course, but we expect to issue a formal statement soon telling all about it.

to say now that the war is over and every one of us Is mighty glad of it. Judge Landis is a national figure, for the important cases he has passed upon and his wit and sarcasm sometimes humorous and sometimes caustic which he diients'at prisoners and counsel from liis bench, have made him famous. Baseball always has been one of his hobbles. In the little town of Logans-port. where he was reared, the judge played on amateur and semi-professional teams.

His brilliant playing brought him many offers to turn professional. but he always declined, saying he played merely for sport and love of the game. ON FRIDAY WE ALSO stated that Wimpus College should beat Bohunk and staked our reputation on it. As a matter of fact Bohunk licked Wimpus, but don't think we were caught off our guard. If you will look at the 38th paragraph of our story, you will notice we said that the unexpected sometimes happens.

When we wrote that, we had in.mind the Bohunk-Wimpus game, and any intelligent reader could see how we felt about the matter. Of all tie expert dope in Friday's paper this column was alone in stating that the unexpected was liable to happen. Our readers were therefore not so surprised at the Bohunk score as we were ourself.

would bo like a bank changing its name because one of its paying tellers or clerks went crooked," said one of the White Sox officials. "Its' all buncombe, this talk about the White Sox changing their name, and the vary suggestion is probably inspired by enemies of the team." The name White Sox has been owned by Chicago since professional baseball was introduced to Chicago more than 50 years ago. Not long ago the late Tod Cowles. Chicago's first baseball writer, told of how the Ch'eago team first came Vo be called the White Stockings. How They Got The Name.

"It was at St. Louis on April 28, 1870," said Mr. Cowles, when the Chicago club on its way to New Orleans for its first training trip, stopped off for a game with the local team. A the came on the field with white uniform, caps to hose, inclusive, a Mound city gamin shouted: Oh, look at the White Stockings! Mr was at this time writing baseball for the Chicago Tribune, and it was while on this Southern trip that he adopted the name "White Stockings for the Chicago team, and in his telegraphic rerorts to the Tribune he always called them by that name. The name has stuck to them ever since, excpt that it was shortened, the name White Stockings being transformed to White Sox.

The name was lucky from the start, for the club not only won every gam on that initial trip from Chicago New Orleans, but it also won the first world's championship from the Cincinnati Red Stockings that year. Unies Of Old Reds Gaudy. Another old name is one by which the Cincinnati National League teem is known as the Reds. The first uniform of the Queen City-team was designed by peorge B. Ellard of that city in 1867.

It consisted of short, white flannel trousers, white shirt and long ro stocking. This was the first time in the history of baseball that the players wore short trousers, and the bright-colored stockings were a novelty. Therefore, the tm was called "Red Stockings" by Mr. Ellard, but it was afterward abbreviated to the Reds. Cleveland Monickers Plentiful.

Cleveland's team has had, perhaps, more nicknames than any other teasn in either league. Cleveland's American league team was first called the Blues, because of the color of their traveling suits worn by the members. This name has newer been used in Cleveland. The team was also called the Naps, in honor of former manager Lajoie, whose first name is Napoleon. This was shortened to Nap.

and the team was called the Naps. Today they are the Indians. When Deacon McGuire was manager the team was called the Mollie McGuires. In the olden days Cleveland had a team known as the Spiders and another called the Forest Citys. Reid Christens Tiger.

Hughey Jennings' Detroit American League team, which won the pennant three times rupnir.g was named the Tigers by Philip J. Reid, city editor of a Detroit newspaper. The reasons were: They were the first team to wear striped stockings that had achieved a reputation as fighters, and the other names by which they were known, Detroit and Wolverines, did not fit in well in a newspaper headline. In years gone by the team certainly lived vp to its name, and it was known the country over for Its gameness and Its ability to pull games apparently lost out of the fire. The hard fight it gave Pittsburgh In the world's championship series will long be remembered by the fans.

The Pittsburgh team, commonly called the Pirates, got their name as a result of the kidnaping of Louis Bicr-bauer. a star second baseman, from the Philadelphia Athletics away back 1888. Giant Named In 1885. The New oTrk Nationals were dubbed the Giants by P. Jay Donahue In the Summer of 1885, when that team was making such a hard fight against the Chicago team for the championship.

It was their deeds and not their stature, as many rooters think, that were responsible for the name. The New York American League team were named the Highlanders by James R. Price when the Johnson organization entenxl New York In 1903. Th president of tha club at that time wa Joseph Gordon, and tho grounds were on high land. In Scotland there is a wegiment called the Gordon Highlanders and the combination of Gordon, and the high land on which the team played suggested the name after the Scotch regimenL The name Quakers, applied to the Philadelphia National League team, came quite naturally, because Philadelphia is known as the Quaker City.

The name was first used in 1883. when Philadelphia was represented In two organizations the old American Association and the National League. The Athletics ware in tho former league and a team known'Just as Philadelphia wus In the latter. To distinguish between the two, the newspapers called the National team tho Quakers, and that name Is still being used. MADISON, Nov.
