The rules governing the .leagues which enter Into the new arrange ment will be drafted later when the tribunal has been selected. The minor leagues will be represented In the drafting of the regulations. The new league will be known as the New National league, and John Heydler, president of the now defunct National .league, will be president, secretary and treasurer. In deciding: all baseball matters the votes, under the new plan, will be cast by clubs and not by leagues. The New National league had its inception in the 1919 world's series scandal. After eight members of the Chicago White Sox had teen indicted for alleged participation in the throw ing of games, a letter was sent to all club owners by William Veeck, pres ident of yie Chicago National League club; John McGraw of the New York Giants, Barney Dreyfuss and others telling them that "it was time for a new deal in baseball, with a new gov erning body." Lasker Plaa Is Adopted. This letter outlined the plan pro- posed by A. D. Laskcr of the Chi cago National league club and which called for a civilian tribunal. Later, at a meeting of the eight National league clubs and the three American league clubs siding with them, the plan was approved and the other five American clubs notified they could come in or the 11 clubs 'would form a new 12-club league. Meetings were called for today by both factions, the clubs backing John son previously having countered with a proposition that each league appoint a committee of three to confer with a like committee from the minor leagues. The li clubs refused to change from the original stand and when their final ultimatum, issued at 2:39 P. M. today, was not answered, went ahead with their plans. Lack of a chairman for the na tional commission for many months, the baseball scandal and the enmity of the three American league clubs for Ban Johnson were contributory causes to the formation of the league. The three clubs joining In the plan have opposed Johnson in league af fairs for years and nearly disrupted the league last year. They charged Johnson with being the "czar of ba.se Ball," while the clubs friendly to him countered with charges that the pro posed reorganization was merely a plan to depose Johnson. Statement Is Issued. The following statement was issued by the 11 club owners forming the new league: "To the American public: The 11 clubs which were signatory to the resolutions adopted at a meeting in Chicago on October 18, met according to the call of the resolutions this morning. Clarke Griffith and subse quently Attorney Miller, representing the directors of the American league, addressed the meeting, stating that the five dissenting American league clubs would not attend a joint session of clubowners where majority rule In lnterclub affairs would prevail. -They proposed that the five dis senting clubs appoint a committee of three to meet with a like committee to represent the national league for the purpose of subsequently meeting a committee of three from the -minor leagues to draft a plan for the reor ganization of baseball. Old System Is Opposed. "These 11 signatory owners stood on the fundamental principle that under the old system of inter-leasrue affairs being controlled by league votes, selfishness and politics had crept in the game resulting in scan dals on the playing field and that In all matters that were not strictly league affairs, clubs should vote in dividually so that their responsibili ties to their constituents and their local public could be marked. "For several hours the 11 club own ers pleaded with Messrs. Griffith and Miller to bring the other four mem bers w-ho were holding out into the meeting. It was made plain that the whole object of the joint meeting of owners was that baseball be recon structed on such a high plane as to merit public confidence and that a control of baseball be established of men of such caliber as to command public respect. ITltlmartam Is Issued. "It was emphasized that each club would have one vote and that the suggestions of each club would be fully considered. It was felt by the 11 owners that so long as the leagues voted as leagues, the selfish interests of each league would be paramount in inter-league affairs but that with no advantage to any league or club the control of baseball could be put on an altruistic and impartial basis. "The five dissenting clubs were given until 4 o'clock to appear in the meeting, but failing to be present, the 11 signatories proceeded with the formation of a 12-club league as pro vided by the resolutions of October IS. "This league will be known as the New National league ' and John A- Heydler will continue as president, secretary and treasurer. The teams comprising the league are: The Bos ton Braves, the Boston Red Sox, Brooklyn, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati, Chicago White Sox, New York Giants, New York Yankees, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and St. Louis. Minor Leagne Territory Safe. "It was agreed" that the twelfth club, should be the first of the five dissenting American league clubs who would apply for membership. Fail ing to receive such application within a reasonable time, a twelfth club is to be established by the New National league and it Is not the Intention tthat minor league territory be invaded. "The meeting then proceeded to re affirm its acceptance of the Lasker plan of baseball reorganization, which, with slight modifications, was formally adopted, the chief modifica tions being that the minor leagues ehould be requested and permitted to choose an associate member of the board of control of their own selec tion.

Coupled with her re appearance on tno west coast is the announcement that hereafter she will be known on the billboards and on programmes as L-ildred Harris. Discussing the proposed settlement with Charlie, Mildred is quoted as saying: "Rumors to the effect that I demanded one-half of Mr Chaplin's fortune or wanted any of the proceeds of what will result from the release of Mr. Chaplin's latest picture, 'The Kid,' are absolutely unfounded and untrue. A settlement has been reached through my New York attor neys, on a basis that my husband give me what he thought was right. That is all I have ever asked.

Tarzan takes part in a regular knock-down-and-drag-out fight with a" gang of Apaches and causes the gendarmes of Paris many anxious moments. The feature of the picture is the ex cellent handling of the wild animal scenes, which are realistic and marked by fine photography.- The beasts include a number of apes, two fierce-looking lions, leopards and an elephant.

Associate Member Provided. "The Lasker plan provides for the appointment of two associate mem bers of the board of control, neither of which was elected. A committee from the meeting has gone to Kansas City to tender the minors an oppor tunity to elect a candidate of their own choosing as associate member for the ix-year term. The third member, whose term will be five years, was not chosen pending Judge Landis' ac ceptance of the chairmanship of the board of control. "The committee which went to Kaosa- City to inform the minor, league meeting of the action of the New National league, consists of Garry Herrmann, chairman; Barney Dreyfuss and Charles H. Ebbets. The same committee with the addition of Colonel Jacob Rupert is to serve as a drafting committee with a like number to be appointed by the minors, the chairman of which drafting com mittee is to be chairman of the board of control. Duties Are. Outlined. "The duties of the drafting commit tee will be to formulate the organic law under which baseball, in inter league affairs, and in all disputed matters with players, shall operate. The organic law will also provide for complete supervision of the ethics of tiie game, both on the part of owners and players, by the board of control. "It is hoped and believed by the members of the New National league that the high character of the chair man of the board of control and those to be elected as associate members will be a sufficient guarantee to the baseball loving public that the na tional game will be conducted on the high plane which public interest and public morality demands. It is thought that, with the aid of a board of control of the character indicated, laws will be enacted which will for ever stamp out gambling in connec tion with baseball. Improvement Is Expected. "It is the belief of the members of the new National league that the nubile control under which they vol untarily placed themselves today, will in large measure wipe out the politics of league and inter-league affairs which has resulted in untoward con ditions with which the public is fa miliar. It is believed that the new method of voting, by clubs instead of leagues, will have a two-fold ef fect of, first, preventing minority clubs In any league from being long er in the position of having no voice in inter-ieague affairs and, second, will prevent the recurrence of a long- continued deadlock in the inability of organized baseball to choose a pre siding officer of its controlling board. the trouble through which baseball nas lately gone. ine statement was signed by a representative of each club taking part in the formation of the new league. Nobody took a hint from that first name Tony. And when Tony Palmer mixed it with Jimmy Darcy last week, winning the decision in ten rounds of lively, high-hearted scrapping, there wasn't a single member of the local Italian colony who realized what a great day it was for the fame' of his natal shore. But It's leaked out since then, and on the eve of Tony's return engage ment with Darcy at the Heilig to morrow night there is but tme topic Vhere they talk fight in Italian. For the true name of the valiant Arizona middleweight is Antonio Palma. He was reared on spagnetti, speaks the liquid tongue or xtaly with fluent east, and fights like well, like Johnny Dundee, for example. The' compari son is pat, for - the reason that the celebrated eastern lightweight, with the Scotch cognomen, is .really of Italian birth. Tony of Arizona, who won local fls tiana with bis clever courage in the initial appearance, has worked out tgorously since his meeting with Darcy, and is apparently in fa bet ter shape than he was a week ago. when he took the raging Roumanian's measure in ten rounds. Fight fans are predicting that the main event omorrow night, when Tony and Darcy clash again, will be an epic of sensational mixing. For the first one was what is technically known as a beaut," and with both boys yearn ing for the gong again, the second contest should be even more enter taining. From first Impressions, Judicially appraised, it is -believed that Tony Palma, alias Palmer, will be even greater favorite here than that popu lar star of pugilism. Boy McCormick, he young English light -heavy weight. Jack Davis, Johnny Fiske, Willie St. Clair, Al Grunan, Georgia Eagles, the boy with the knockout punch; Muff Bronson, Suds Sutherland and Frankle Crites, who appear in the preliminary bouts, are all fast round ing into tip-top shape ' and can be looked for to give the fans a real run for their shekels. Tickets for the contest went on sale at the Heilig yesterday with a bang and it looks as though Matchmaker Bobby Evans' efforts will once more be greeted with a packed house. The proposed Willie Meehan-Boy McCormick contest scheduled for the Milwaukie arena November 17 has been set back to November 21 by1 Matchmaker Kendall, while the go between Harry Schuman and Joe Benjamin, which was to have come off on the 24th. will not be held until December 8. The Milwaukie matchmaker's rea son for postponing the go was that both McCormick and Meehan asked that more time be given them to pre pare for their contest. Realizing that it would be to the advantage of the Milwaukie commission to hve both boxers in the pink. Matchmaker Ken dall complied with the request. Teddy O'Hara, one of the best featherweights that California has ever developed, may be seen in action here soon. O'Hara is the lad who Jack Kearns. who directs the affairs of Jack Dempsey, wanted to take east but the O'Hara parents would not al low their offspring to Journey too tar from the fireside, with the result that the little "Irish" boy has had to content himself with' what the Oak land promoter. Tommy Simpson, had to offer. Should O'Hara come north he will not be out of work for any length of time for the promoters and match makers in this sector realize that the fans want to see the lad with a punch PIuAX EEJECTIOX IS SEEX Minor Leaguers Gather for Annual Session of Association. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 8. Rejec tion of the Lasker plan of baseball reorganization in the minor leagues seemed probable tonight as the presl dents and club owners of minor leagues gainerea nere xor tne conven tion which opens tomorrow. Claiming mat tne proposed Plan. adopted by the National league club owners - and three American league clubs in Chicago today, provides for government without representation, the advance guard of minor league oinciais aeciared they would oppose every move of the major leagues to present the plan for adoption to morrow. The stand was taken that the minor leagues are capable of governing themselves and that they would con tinue to attend to their own affairs. David L. Kultz, president of the In ternational league, characterized the action taken in Chicago today as "childish." "It seems to me to be conclusive evidence that the eight National league clubs aniLthe three from the American league need somebody to run their affairs," Mr. Fultz said, "The split of the major leagues was a childish piece of action. However, it will, have no effect on us. We shall continue to take care of our own in terests as we have done In the past. There will be no chance of the minor leagues a'doptlng the Lasker plan." A.

By its -to-2 defeat of the Stand-ifer team at Vancouver, Sunday, the Mult nomah guard eleven was the only member of the Portland Soccer asso ciation to turn in a victory. The other two matches resulted in tie scores. Peninsula and the Canadian vets bat tled to a 3 to 3 score at Columbia park and Kerns and Clan Macleay tied 1 to 1 at the Franklin high school bowl. The Multnomah guard-Standifer game was a fast, exciting and clean contest throughout. The first half was very even with the Standlfer men swinging the ball from wing to wing with perfect team work. First Standlfer would make a try for goal and then the guardsmen, until near the end of the first half, when on a technical foul In the penalty area Sherriff of Standlfer scored from tl e penalty kick. Upon resuming the second half the guardsmen played a dashing game. Harry Langton of the guards worked himself into a shooting position where he booted one between the posts for the Portland team's first score. Standlfer then took a turn at at tacking and from a beautifully placed corner kick from Barrle, Woods scored a clean goal. The game for a time resolved Itself into a kicking duel between the opposing backs until the guardsmen got away In perfect alignment. Meeting a nice center, from the right, Moore rushed in and registered a beautiful goal from an almost impossible angle. Again a little later during a scrimmage in front of the Standlfer goal, Sam Powell wormed himself into .position and beat the defending goal keeper with a screw shot that won the game. Standifer had a very dangerous right wing in Barrle, Sherriff and Woods, who probably showed to the best advantage. For the guards, Sam Duncan and Jules Webster at back proved to be a stumbling block for the Standlfer advance. Fairhurst, Murray and Bill Langton made up a tricky right wing, while Harry Lang ton and Tommy Murray were also very much on their Jobs. - Peninsula park, champions of the Portland Soccer association last year, and the Canadian vets, fought each other to a standstill on the Columbia park grounds, each team Bcoring three goals. The feature of the game was the playing of Ernest Buchanan, goal for Peninsula, who after a layoff of nine years does not appear to have lost any of his old-time ability.
