Tener, president ot the National league, that representa tives of his organization hid conferred with emissaries of the Federal league to reaching some agreement. "If organized baseball derides upcn peace we will withdraw from New York," the official said. Otherwise, a Federal league club will be established in America's metropolis, and that means a fight to the last ditch." The peace plan as !t now stands in cludes the merging of the Federal league clubs with the International league; the lifting of the draft rule from the Federal and International leagues; the granting to both organiza tions the same rights enjoyed by nJor leajrues. with the stipulation that the Chicago Federals buy the Chicago National league club and the St. Louis Federals buy the St, Louis National league club. BARNEY DREYFUSS TO "FORD" IT TO CHI IN OLIVE BRANCH BOAT New York, Dec. 15. (U. P.) With the National league practically having agreed to enter peace negotiations with the Federal league, it is now up to President Ban Johnson of the American league to refrain from scrambling conditions and continuing the baseball war. Barney Dreyfus, owner of the Pitts burg1 Nationals. bast-hall's "Henry Ford," is en route to Chicago today to submit the National league's peace plans to Johnson. Ban has always been opposed even to entering nego tiations with the "outlaws" and ha3 been determined to fight to the end. It is understood. lowever, that he has recently receded several notches from his former attitude of fifty-four-forty or fight," as applied to the Fed erals. It Is believed that the heavy financial losses of many clubs during the last two seasons has put him In J. receptive frame of mind. It is understood that at the meeting between the Nationals and Federals here a tentative working agreement was reached, in continuation of the meeting held In Philadelphia during the world's series. BALEFUL BAN BRIDLES BAZOO AND WILL NOT TALK BASEBALL PEACE Chicago, Dec. 15. (V. P.) "It would b foolish of me to discuss the proba bility of the American league accept ing the National league's plaiis for peace with th Federals until they are offered us," said President Ban B. Johnson, Just before going into the meeting of the American clubowners today. "Barney Dreyfuss is coming to see me regarding what I know of Henry Sinclair's efforts to dicker with me in connection with peace between organ ized baseball and the Federals." The consenfcus of opinion amont; those closely in touch with the Ameri can league baseball magnates was that If the National league has perfected plane for "honorable'" peace between organized and Independent baseball, the American league will accept them. Barney Dreyfus is expected to ar rive at 5 p. m. with the Nationals proposal for negotiations with tho Fed erals. The general attitude of the Ameri can league clubowners was expressed by one magnate, who said: "Naturally, we're for peace; but no steps have been talcen by us for a merger." Among the business coming up at the meeting of the American clubown ers today will be the election. It is generally conceded that President Ban B. Johnson will be retained in office without opposition.' The post-season tours of all t,ts.r teams, the practice of baseball players writing for newspapers, and a shorter training season will be taken up at the meeting. Tacoma Golfers to Play Here Saturday Tacoma County Club golf team w tee-off with the players of the Waver ley Country club in a match under the Nassau system of scoring and in a four-ball foursome tourney Saturday and Sunday.

Beaver Contracts to Be Held Till March 1 If peace is declared In tho baseball world, Walter McCredle will be one manager who will begin to slash sal aries, and he makes no bones in as serting that a lot of the worry which pestiferous pastimers have wished on him in the last couple of years will be transferred to new shoulders. The Portland manager 6tated yes terday that he would not send out a contract until the time is about up, or a few days before March 1. This means that the ball players who drew fat salaries last year and who have spent their coin already will have no chance to make a touch against the managerial purse, which is about as lean now as it possibly can be. "If they declare peace, you'll see the Portland club well within the 1450 salary limit,'' asserted Walter. "There is no sense in the Pacific Coast league being $1000 higher thaii either of the other two class A A leagues, the Ameri can association and the International league, and I for one am going to cut my,salary roll to right around the easterners' mark. When we give the players an extra month's work, that ought to be enoush of an edge. Manager Mac stated yesterday that he was seriously considering employing the trainer of the University of South ern California football team to train his club next year. McCredle lias practically agreed to do his prelimin ary three weeks of camp work at Sacramento. N-W.
