? O FEAR OF NEW LOOP

Agreement Not Likelyin Major-Minor Case

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—Hope for peaceetween the major and minor leagues;<!od here today.

Indications at noon were that thei.ajors will refuse to make any eon-

■. salons to the minors, A1 Tearney.

hairman of the association of minorleagues, said.

Acceptance of the minor league de-mands for more recognition by the majorleagues is not likely, President JohnHeydler of the National league indicated.President Ban Johnson of the Americanleague indicated he would take the samestand.

Catcher Wheat of the Brooklyn Robinswas released to the Philadelphia Na-tionals, It was said.

Baseball has stowed away the gunpow-der and is getting out the talcum pow-der to primp for The nearestsound akin to the recently silenced can-nonading today is the rumble of the two‘'major eights” hitting In perfect accord.

Ban Johnson can move around nowwithout the spectre of a process serverhunting him; the Yankees can collecttheir third slice of the world series p:e.'onnie Mack can round up his Athletics

and tell them there is going to be aleague this season, and Garry Herrmann■soon can sit back in his office and sym-pathize with some other poor victim whotries to please every one In the baseballfamily.HARD TASKS MADEEASY IN SHORT TIME.

All is serene In sweet peace and it wasail done In a few hours at Chicago. Thecomparative ease with which theobsequies over the tomahawk werebrought about convinces the fans of thefolly of that fear that baseball wasthreatened by the American league rowand the controversy over the commissionchairman.

Rumors of a uew league to rise on thewreckage of the American league borejust as much chance for materializationas the former crown prince’s offer tostand trial. The insurgent faction of theleague is a dan of business men andthey never would have considered thegamtle with million dollar investmentson a wild market like anew league.

There was much ado about nothing inthe threatened disorganization of base-ball over I lie commission chairmanshipwrangle. John Heydler, president of theNational league, said a few wise wordswhen he made the statement recentlythat the commission could act almost indefinitely without a chairman.

Then there is Ban Johnson. Ban stillholds the helm of the American league.Maybe his wings have been trimmed buthe Is still there in charge and his pres-ence will not bring about that predicteddemise of the national game.

Johnny has knocked three Europeanboxers sprawling on his recent tour, thelast being Francois Charles, the stablemate of Georges Carpentler.

Friday Evening—Manual vs. Bedford a!Bedford. Technical vs. Bloomington atBloomington. Broad Ripple vs. NewBethel at Broad Ripple.

Saturday Evening—Short ridge vs. Bloom-ington at the loeal Y. M. C. A. (Short-ridge and Technical “Seconds” in cur-tain raiser). Technical vs. Bedford atBedford.

Bedford and Bloomington furnish theopposition for Shortridgc, Tech and Man-ual this week-end, while Broad Ripple,for the third time this seasou, hooks upwith New Bethel.

, Bloomington has not been setting theI world on fire this .season, and. while theI state champs have defeated a few top-

; notchers, on the other hand, they havebeen walloped by a number of second-I raters. The Bloomingtonites have de-

feated Technical (19 to 13), Mauual (21 to101. Muncle (37 to 161, Bedford (18 to17), Martinsville (30 to 241, Mitchell (33

; to 91, Brownsburg (37 to 13) and Femlleton (30 to 14), while the’-* have lost toRochester (36 to 10), Lebanon (33 to 23).Martinsville (30 to 6). Anderson (34 to 7).Greencastle (18 to 11 and 19 to 8) andJefferson of Lafayette (18 to 13). Sothe ouija board is just about a depend-able as she past, performance dope In thecase of tht' Bloomington basketeers.

Bedford has about the same reputationas an “In and outer.” She has whaledColumbus <25 to 15), Vincennes (23 to12). Shortridgc (29 to 25), Martinsville(31 to 26) and Greencastle (23 to 17), butto offset these no mean victories has lostto Bloomington (18 to 17). Franklin (20to 17), Lebanon (24 to 201, Martinsville(31 to 19) and Washington (25 to 18).

Tech, now going in championshipform, should win both Its fusses. Man-ual has an even chance to outfight Itsopponents. Khortridge, with its regularlineup, should be a favorite, and BroadRipple has demonstrated twice this yearthat she could top New Bethel. Garrettbeing out of (he Ripple cast may makea difference this time, though.

The curtain-raiser to the Shortridge-Blooinlngton game at the local “Y” Sat-urday night should be full of ginger, asIs is the rubber bout between the Short -ridge and Tech “seconds.” The firstmeeting of these scrappy fives occurredearly In the season and the Techites won.The second fracas, played two weeks ago,was rather easy for the north siders.Saturday night is where "friendshipceases.”
