6 The News of the Sport World. BIG LEAGUE MAGNATES END THEIR LONG WAR American and National Peace Committees Wipe Out All Differences Existing Between the Two Organizations Delehanty and Other Contract Jumpers Are Sent Back to the Teams Claiming To Have National Agreement. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. Was officially proclaimed between the National and the American baseball leagues when the conference of their respective committees adjourned here shortly after 7 o'clock tonight. The committees had been in session yesterday and last night and remained in continuous session today without luncheon or any other interruption until a decisive and final result was reached, and the conferees caught the night trains for their respective homes.

The result is given fully in the signfed articles of agreement that were given out after adjournment and they are final. The conferees of the American league had plenipotentiary powers from the start, and the National league conferees did not sign until after they were giren such powers by wire today frftm their respective clubs. The conference would have closed late in the afternoon or at least earlier in the evening but for the delay in getting such authority from the New York and Boston clubs of the National league. The owners of all of the National league clubs were kept at the longdistance telephone during the afternoon in their respective cities and full and final consent was secured before the adjournment, so that the decision reached is that of the court of last re- Bort and will be recognized as the supreme law of the two leagues. Herrmann the Peacemaker.

While all of the eight conferees did Iheir full share in reaching a result which was received with demonstrations that were like jollification, it is conceded by all that the personal relations between Chairman Herrmann and President Johnson had much to do with It. They have been friends from boyhood and closely associated for many years, Ban Johnson having been sporting editor of the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune in former years, when Herrmann was a prominent city official, in which capacity he still officiates. When the conferees convened yesterday none seemed hopeful of such a "result as was finally reached. At former meetings each side mistrusted the other and even charged bad faith. August Herrmann has been called in politics "the man whose word is as good as his bond," and Johnson referred to this on his arrival, stating that while he did not have much confidence in conferences he did have the fullest confidence in Herrmann.

Other conferees before they retired last night expressed equal confidence in Herrmann, who became the Bismarck of the occasicm today and would not let the conference adjourn or recess or do anything else until the articles of agreement were signed by each of the sixteen clubs in the two major leagues. The visiting conferees were unanimous in saying that Garry Herrmann led them into the "promised land," n.nd while Herrmann is the president of a National league club, the American league conferees were most enthusiastic in according him credit for the result. Somers Aided Herrmann. Charles W. Somers, of Cleveland, Who arrived early yesterday morning in advance of the other American conferees from Chicago, talked peace with Herrmann from the start, and is credited with having had very much to do with the harmony and unanimity of the occasion, in calling Herrmann the "Iron Prince," a la Bismarck, and other names characteristic of the ball field.

It was currently said around the lobby that he held more than a full hand, that he could throw the Cincinnati club into the American league if his National league colleagues would not come to peace terms with him, and that President Ban Johnson knew him too well to want any war with him. While the jollifying over the declaration of peace was going on at the St. Nicholas, President Pulliam announced that there would be a meeting of the National league at the Grand hotel one week form next Monday, Jan. 19. It was also announced that there would be a meeting in February of the three presidents, Harry Pulliam, of the National league; Ban Johnson, of the American league, and Pat Powers, of the National association, at some place to be selected hereafter, for the purpose of taking the preliminary steps for an agreement between the minor league clubs similar to that which has just been entered into between the two larger leagues.

KING MAY RETURN TO WISCONSIN Badger Alurnnf Discuss Coach Question Wtih Manager Kilpatrick. MILWAUKEE, Jan. H. Kilpatrick, manager of athletics of the University of Wisconsin; Allen C.

Abbott, captain of the 1903 football team, and A. L. Sanborn, member of the board of control at Wisconsin, were In Milwaukee yesterday, discussing with alumni of the institution the advisability of securing the return oi Phil King for next year, and whether or not the graduate system at Wisconsin can be adopted at the present time. Mr. Sanborn says that he finds a strong sentiment in favor of the return of Phil King among Milwaukeeans, if King is available for another year.

Mr. Kilpatrick is non-committal, and Capt. Abbott says he has the greatest confidence in the world in King's coaching ability. The three men spent the evening at the University club, discussing with alumni the advisability of securing King's return, -the relations between the alumni and the undergraduates and ways and means of keeping alumni in closer touch with the progress of athletics at the university. Coach Kilpatrick says that the Chicago-Wisconsin game will unquestionably be played in Milwaukee on Nov.

1. MAROON PLAYER TO ENTER YALE Tackle Tripp Will Leave Chicago to Play In the East. CHICAGO, Jan. Tripp, the aggressive 200-pound tackle of the University of Chicago football team last fall, gave his final decision yesterday about his plans for next season. He will erttet Yale university, where he is pledged tq a Greek letter fraternity and wherj he intended to go after one year in Chicago.

Tripp came to the university from Hill school, in Pottstown, and was one of the best freshmen linemen that Stagg had at the end of last season. His work in the Michigan-Chicago game commended his skill to Coach Stagg, who regrets losing his promising tackle, especially as Koebler, and possibly Fair, will not be available this fall. Prof. Stagg said yesterday he probably would have no indoor meets with the University of Michigan track team during the winter. This is a disappointment to.

Stagg's athletes, who wished to meet the Michigan men, for they feel they have a stronger indoor aggregation than iheir rivals. Ferd Horton, the fast half mile runnsr on the track team, has decided not to compete during the winter. His determination weakens the team, for at the present time he is the only good half nailer in the squad. Horton has begun work in the law school and will devote all his time to classroom work. JACK MUNROE'S LINE OF TALK ANNOYS slmmons and Jeffries Tired of the Western Kid's Boasting.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. Fitsimmons and Jeffries have issued a challenge to Jack Munroe. Fitzsimmons' hand is almost well, and he says either he or Jeffries is ready to meet Munroe next week. Fitzsimmons said: "We don't want to give that 'dub' Munroe any more free advertising, but either Jeffries or myself will put up $1,000 to stop him in three rounds. Why, I believe Mexican Pete can knock Munroe out.

Jeffries could have put him to sleep in the first round had he wanted to, but he let the miner hang on to please the people. I know that Tommy Ryan has not yet taken hold of Munroe. If he does, he will find he has a counterfeit. We want this man to agree to an immediate meeting or shut up. As for Mexican Pete Everett, if Jeffries or I meet him on the street we will punch his head.

I have stood all the boasting of these Western kids that we intend to take. I will 'sic' Jeffries on them, and if he can't handle them I "will take a hand myself." YOUNG CORBETT TO INVADE ENGLAND Champion Featherweight and Jenkins to Go Abroad. NEW YORK, Jon. Corbett," champion featherweight of the world, and Tom Jenkins, the well known wrestler, are to invade England and Australia. They will leave here in the spring, and after several bouts in the prominent cities of England wil go in the fall to Australia, where a number of matches will be decided.

These plans were decided on when Harry Poliok, manager of Jenkins and Corbett, received a letter from Bert Dorraan, the well known English sporting, man, stating that if he would take Jenkins to England the Coronation Athletic club, of Liverpool, would offer a $2,000 purse for a wrestling bout between Jenkins and Tom Cannon. Dorman also wrote that Jenkins would have no trouble in securing a match with Hackenschmidt, one of the greatest mat artists in the world, for a purse of $1,000 before some London club. These will be Jenkins' chief bouts in England, but he will also arrange for a number of others. "Young Corbett" will take on Jorgan and any other British top-notch feathers who care to stand up before the American boxer. Both men, accompanied by their manager, will sail for England in April.

After spending the spring and summer in England, the party will leave for Australia early in the fall. This trip is the result of a letter received by the men's manager from Dan Creedon. JEFFRIES MAY REPLY LATER Manager Delaney Promises an Answer to Corbett's Challenge. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Delaney, Jeffries' manager, talked of the $20,000 offer made by the Hayes Valley Athletic club for a match between Ifie champion and Jim Corbett.

Delaney said: "As yet Jeffries has given the matter no consideration. Plans for the acceptance of the offer will not be made for at least a few weeks." He stated that Jeffries is at all times willing to meet any white man entitled to honors, but at present, while he is engaged in the theatrical business, an offer from any club couFd not be given nis immediate attention. Delaney remarked further that as the club's" offer was open for thirty days, there was no hurry about the matter. He said: "In two weeks I will leave here to join Jeffries, and it will not be long after our meeting that an answer will come from our camp. Jeffries has no idea of returning to San Francisco just now, and until I see him I can't frame an answer for the club.

Of course, i believe that the fellow could do away with Corbett in a few rounds. Therefore a match would be very profitable for U3 to make." MALLETT TO MEET LE ROUX. Fencing Masters of St. Paul and Minneapolis Arrange a Bout. The foil championship of the Northwest is to be decided.

A. B. Mallett of St. Paul, and F. R.

Mgr.

Robert Sts. HICKEY FOR FRANCHISE Association leader Formally Demands of" Saints. I The next move in the attempt to take the St. Paul baseball team away from this city is up to the American association. President of the" association, apparently intends, to.

pay no attention to the threats of the local club owner, for yesterday President Lennon found in his mail a formal demand' the league president for the transfer of the St. Paul baseball franchise. Jared How, the attorney and vice, president of the local club, now in Chicago and upon receipt of the letter from President Hickey President Lennon wired Mr. How to call on the league president and make plain the position taken by the local management. "I have instructed Mr.

How to tell President Hickey just where we are at," said President Lennon yesterday. "I have explained the situation to him and he is to tell the American association that the St. Paul team is not to be transferred until I have exhausted all efforts to hold it' here. am through with the association so far as any of these so-called agreements are concerned. We will now consider only the written ten-year agreement.

The dl? for Insist that ln attempt to take snap judgment the asisociation has broken' faith with me. The'- ten-year agreement is an agreeme.n signed by, directors of the leagueand binds all the. club owners for a period of ten years. That agreement is signed by Messrs. Bryee.

WaHcfns, Tebeau Hick- ey, Havenor and George Lennon and is the agreement that I wllf hold the American association to. Anything I may have agreed to during, a discussion of the situation will receive no -more consideration from 'Tried to Be Fair. Pyed fair with the American mfSta?" uni this demand, of an immediate transfer, of my franchise was made, and I regret to admit that the attitude of several of my supposed friends has surprised and pained "I stood by President Hickey when -the American association threatened to collapse before it had been really started. The Western league was determined to end Rickey's- baseball career, and I had er wfr? the magnates to remain in the Western and have about anything I wanted, but I stood by Hickey to win or lOS j-; that time St. Paul was the key to the situation I ad held my franchise in the Western league, that league would have been-able to put teams in St.

Paul and Minneapolis "and the American association would never have progressed farther than paper I -saved the American association, for Hickey and this is the way I am repaid. Hieky and jhe. others are not with St. Paul because the town was practically a hole, in the treasury bag. I was compelled Th tdmit this; but I want to give the town another chance, and I intend to give it another chance if the tenyear agreement is worth anything.

"I will sell my baseball holdings when the courts decide that the association has a right toictake the team from St. Paul and not before. I have an option on a site for a dcrvm-town park and think I will be able to secure this new spot but now it is -baseball! for St. Paul, new park. Lexington park 3 or- any old spot, unless the courts decide that -I- must give up the team." The peace agreement signed by the National and American leagues will not hold the American association out of Chicago if the magnates can transfer the St.

Paul franchise. The American association is a member of the National Association of Minor leagues, and. anticipating this peace of the big leagues, filed a claim for territory in Chicago several weeks ago. Though the. American and National leagues join in the notional agreement, this claim of the association, if properly filed, must be respected, RACE AT LAKE OF THE ISLES.

Buys Jockey's Release. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. J. S.

McDonald today pall $5,000 to Burns Waterhouse for the release from the contract on Jockey Ransch and signed the boy to ride for W. abroad at a salary, it is stated, $10,000 a year, with the privilege of renewal for two The war of the big baseball league is a thing: of the past and now the regular winter sports may be able to move in under the spot light. The American and National leagues have wiped out all differences and from now on there will be little but straight baseball notes left for the sporting writers. In winding up the peace conference in short order the baseball magnates furnished another surprise to the baseball world. The stand taken by Johnson relative to the power given the National league committee, the talk of consolidation and the contract jumper question all combined in promising a long wrangle and the sudden settlement of all differences proved a real surprise.

Garry Hermann, president of the Cincinnati National league team, is given the credit of bringing this order out of chaos, but the club owners of the two leagues deserve a share of the honor for peace was only possible when these men agreed to make sacrifices and costly concessions. Brush and the thoroughly hated Freedman go in with the others, for the report of the peace conference shows that the precious pair refused to stand in the way and surrendered Delehantty, and this after having served official notice that any attempt to take the hard-hitting outfielder would break up the party. The lists of players assigned the two leagues by the peace committees discover a number of the rubberlegs ordered to work out contracts that had been forgotten. Delehanty, Keeler and Leech are the most notable ones. Delehanty goes back to Washington, Keeler is not on the American New York list and without doubt will appear on the Brooklyn list when it is announced and Leech will remain with Pittsburg.

The end of the war means the end of the day of the high-salaried star. The cracks who signed for salaries will be safe during the coming season and several of them while their long-term contracts exist, but when the present contracts expire it will be back into the ranks. The two leagues have agreed to respect all contracts and once more the reserve clause will return to work. This completely ties up the player looking for large money for on the reserve list he will either accept a reasonable salary or retire from the game. STAKE CONDITIONS ANNOUNCED.

Chicago Jockey Club Gives Out Its List of Features. CHICAGO, Jan. Chicago Jockey club has announced the conditions of twelve stakes for the spring and summer meeting at Hawthorne, entries for Which close Feb. 7. The list is headed by the Hawthorne handicap, one milfe and a furlong, for three-year-olds and upward, with a guaranteed cash value" of $10,000, to be run on May 23, the opening day of the spring meeting.

The remaining stakes, of which three are for three-year-olds, have added money ranging from $1,50 Oto $2,500. and will have a gross Value of from $3,00 to $4,000 each. Additional stakes for the summer and fall meetings will be duly announced to clise in July. LEE READY TO MEET POTTS.

Charlie Dewitt, acting for Kid Lee, of Montana, has notified the sporting- editor of Th cGI ob that he is ready to match the Montana lightweight against Jack Potts, of Miftgieapolis. for any amount Jthat the Minneapolis tighter or his backers may seem fit to name. Potts came to Minneapolis Tuesday night to watch the programme furnished by the Amateur Athletic association, and while the Minneapolis fighter was in the club rooms an attempt to have him go on with Lee was made. Potts appeared willing until he was introduced to the Montana boy, and then declared that he had fought too long to think of accepting the paltry sum offered the association managers.

A report that Potts was afraid of the Montana man started, and now the Minneapolis fighter has declared himself ready to meet Kid Lee or any other man the A. A. A. may secure for a purse and a side bet Of any amount from $100 up, to weigh in at 3 o'clock at 130 pounds or forfeit the side bet. KEELER WITH NEW YORK TEAM.

Brooklyn Captain Announces His Switch to American League. NEW YORK, Jan. Keeler, the captain of the Brooklyn baseball club, mentioned for the same office in the proposed American league club in this city, has returned from California. Keeler had his left arm broken on the Pacific coast recently and he still carries the injured member in a sling, but he says that the break is mending nicely and he expects to play regularly next season. Keeler says that he has signed with the American league and expects to play in this city this year, but admits that he does not know where the proposed American league grounds will be.

"I have signed a regular contract." he declares, "and expect to get the salary, no matter what happaas. hen I signed it looked as if the two organisations would soon get together a peace arrangement and I would have been foolish Po refuse a big salary when it was offered to me." BREWERS MAY LOSE PLAYER. Hemphilf Will Be Returned to Colorado Springs If Western Protests. MILWAUKEE, Jan. the owners of the Colorado Springs club, of the Western league, insist.

on retaining services of Hemphill, the outfielder signed by Manager Contillon for the the Milwaukee American association club' will raUnaJiiah The St. Paul Baseball Trouble. This week may see the American association squabble over the St. Paul ball team transferred to the courts. The American association, determined to prove to the fanatics that the talk of a transfer was not a bluff to secure a down-town ball park is now attempting to force Club Owner Lennon to permit the removal of his franchise, and the local magnate refuses to be forced.

President Lennon was willing to meet the association half way in its endeavor to improve the condition of the league. He agreed not to stand in the way of a transfer if he failed to secure a down-town park. The association now claims that he has failed, and ask the immediate transfer or the franchise. President Lennon claims that the announcement of a failure is premature, and as the league does not appear willing to be fair with him he has repudiated all agreements and will fight to the last. The first attempt to touch the St.

Paul franchise will find the attorneys of the local club headed for the court house, where an injunction restraining the association will be asked for. The local management is now waiting for Hickey and his followers to act. About Champion Jeffries. Jim Jeffries is now adding the finishing touches to his exhibition of how to be an imitation champion. If the big fellow would only join with Young Corbett in declaring "Yours Truly" John Li.

Sullivan the "greatest knock to the profession," his task would be complete. The champion of the world is now in the West where he is clamoring loudly for a return match with Jack Munroe, and in the same breath refusing a 120,000 offer to fight Jim Corbett. He is so busy counting the gate receipts collected by the Jeffries Fitzsimmons burlesque troupe that he refuses to see enough money in a $20,000 offer, and yet he is willing and anxious to meet Munroe the miner, who stayed four rounds in the exhibition at Butte. Jeffries is simply looking for cheap advertising for his troupe. He knows, or at least feels confident, that he can do things to Munroe in short order he gets another chance, and is therefore clamoring for the chance.

He knows that Corbett, though out of the game for some time, is not in the dub class, and that the former champion might refuse to be stopped short order, and is therefore unable to see any money in the $20,000 offer. Mac. according to the manager of Treasurer Havenor's aggregation. But Hemphill says that he will not remain in the Western league, nor will he play on the Colorado Springs team again, and insists that if he is not permitted to play with the Brewers next season he will join the Oaklands, of the California league.
