The agreement to make a last minute attempt to avert a base ball war was reached at a meet ing of the directors of the Am erican league at noon today and was one of the results of confer ences between the owners of the rival'major league factions.

Issued the following statement: "The American league has been standing for the principle that a reorganization of baseball should be worked out primarily by a committee composed of represen tatives from the National league, the American league and the Na tional association.

They had it. They ate. they sang, they danced, and the last heard of them they were still dancing and may be yet. This was the report brought back by King Bing Clancey. who got home about 11 o'clock last night. To begin with the Albany Hu- barians entertained the Cberrians at dinner at. the Community house, where Captain B. D. Westbrook of the Hubarians. was toastmaster. Cberrians sat at dinner with the fairest femininity of Albany and Hubarians devoted their attention to the wives of the Cberrians. King Bing was. culled on for a j-peech end. mad- a hit with the Albany crowd. R. O. Snelling ex patiated on the value of booster clubs to communities and Charley Knowtanl gave p history of the Chcrrians, exposing the organiza tion from it Inception. Mark Wfatherford of the Hubarians gave a talk on the vital relation to the communities of orzanlza tiens like the Hubarians and the Cberrians. After dinner the Cherrians were taken to the Albany Public library which they Inspected, and this was followed by a social hour at the New Albany hotel. The dance at Lee L. Gilbert's new place of business' was supposed to be the concluding entertainment, but was still going when Clancey left town. This was preceded by music in which both Albany and Salem musicisians participated. While the National league club owners issued no formal state ment, mostj of them take the stand that what already has been done in the advancement pof baseball reorganization cannot be changed at the conference Friday. This was taken to mean that the se lection of Federal Judge Landis of Chicago as chairman of the new board of control at a salary of $o0.00ft a year must be ac cepted by the American league club owners. The National leaguers frankly admit they do not want a 12-club league unless it is forced upon jthem to organize, and that it would be a "joke." -Mr. nermann made a statement that it would be ridiculous to form a league With two Clubs in three cities.
