OWNERS AGREE TO GIVE JUDGE UTMOST POWER Landis Now Vested With Authority to Boss Magnates and Players Alike. LEAGUES CLOSE SESSION By LUTHER HUSTON, International News Staff Correspondent. CHICAGO, Jan. 13. —Interviews with baseball magnates promise to be as scarce la the future as the Kaiser's friends. Besides signing the new National agreement under which Judge K. M. Landis will administer the affairs of organized baseball for seven years, the Individual major league club owners likewise signed, at their meeting here, an agreement not to criticize each other publicly or to tali about one another, and to accept any decision Judge Landis renders regardless of their personal opinion of it. Ban Johnson, president of the American League, and John Heydler, head of the National, signed this agreement. BOX TRIALS COMB NEXT. With the national agreement drawn up and duly ratified plans for an early trial of the ball players under indictment for conspiracy to “throw'’ the 1318 world’s series to Cincinnati were being formulated today. George Gorman. aaalatant State’s attorney, who will direct the prosecution, said he expected to bring the Indicted players to trial by Feb. 1. It Is Gorman’3 desire and the desire of the heads of baseball to bave the trials completed before the opening of the baseball season. Most of the magnates had departed from Chicago today, as the business of the big meetings in session here since Monday has been virtually completed. The single business remaining is the promulgation of anew set of drafting rules and thla was to be attended to by a committee of major and minor leaguers, which wsa to meet today. The new International League and th American Association will not submit to the draft, but under the new agre.-ir.ent they are not compelled to. They are barred, however, from drafting from any league of lowar classification. The draft will prevail, it is understood, In all other minor leagues. Formal signing of the new national agreement by the National Association (the minor league body) is yet to take place, but as the minors have voted concurrence in the agreement the signing Is a matter of formality only. Players Rumler, Borton, Maggert and Dale, involved In alleged baseball crookedness in the Pacific Coast League, Wednesday were expelled from organized baseball by the National Association of Minor Leagues. The national association also decided to punish the players who have been playing with Fred McMullln, an indicted member of the Chicago White Sox, on a semi-professional team in California. The players, numbering six or seven, are members of teams in organized baseball. Tbe national association adopted resolutions calling upon the players “to show cause why they should not be cited ” for their actions. At the joint meeting of theOfational and American Leagues the player limit during the off season was raised from thirty-five to forty. This means the ballyards will be full of players next spring and during the fall season when tho youngsters are brought on from the minors. No maior league player will be allowed to go from one club to another after Aug. 1. NEW ADVISORY BOARD MEETS. The first meeting of Judge Landis with the new baseball advisory board wns held today. The advisory body consists of M. H. Sexton of Rock Island, 111., and John H. Farrell of Auburn, N. Y., president and secretary of the National Association of Professional Baseball League, representing the minor leagues. Important subjects discussed at the meeting included : Rules to promote cooperation and understanding in carrying out the provisions of the new agreements, procedure for settling of differences that may come up between the majors and minors, plans for presentation and hearing of future disputes between leagues of the same classification in the minors or between the teams of one league. Revision of world’s series regulations, with relation to the disposition of receipts, also was taken op at the advisory board's meeting The assessment for the government of baseball was raised to 13 from 10 per cent and the rule awarding the four world’s series umpires a fiat SI,OOO each was replaced by one which stipulates that the four shall divide a sum 'equal to one losing and one winning player’s shares. The umpires have long contended for such a percentage agreement.

I played the races about ten days and dropped just $3,000. “Five thousand Isn’t breaking me. I received $20,000 from the Yanks last year and that’s tbe smallest part of what I made.” Then Babe totaled up some of hla income for the rear—s2o,ooo from tbe Yanks: SII,OOO from the Cubans SIO,OOO for barnstorming around the East after the regular season; $3,000 for his writings; $5,000 for a statuette of himself; $15,000 for acting in a movie end ss,<>oo and royalties from the phonograph people for his monolog record.

Two States Object to Giving Away All Boxing Independence New York and Massachusetts Praise New Body, but Prefer to Remain Out. Ily HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK. Jan. 13.—The Boxing “League of States,” like another noted league, is wrangling over an article. Seventeen States approve all the ar tides and have affiliated themselves with the National Boxing Association. New York und Massachusetts, not liking the looks of “article 3,” have decided to stay without the league. The league can function without them and the league Is going to function, the leaders say. WHY NEW YORK MAKES OBJECTION. New York feels that article 3 would deprive the grent State of its independence by the provision that “acceptance or membership by this association shall bind such member to abide by all tbe conditions as set forth and to accept and enforce all decisions of the board of directors. Any violation of the constitution shall render such member liable to suspension.” Joseph Johnson, chairman of the Grenter New York commission, pronounces that the great State cannot become subservient to anv other State or States and that it prefers, in so many words to run its. own business. New York didn't get ft berth on the list of officers, which includes Walter H. Llglnlger, Wisconsin; W. A. Tremblay, Montana; It. T Burke, New Orleans; F-. A. McCauley. Michigan: WUltam A. Rockap, Pennsylvania, and Tex O’Rourke. It may be a matter of politics between the New York commission and the International Sporting Club. Pome feeling was aroused when the commission limited the prices of bouts In the State, a pet measure that the International Club suggested and was holding for the big accomplishment of the new governing body. The club intimated at the time that the commission committed larceny on its game. GOTHAM FOR IT, HOWEVER. However, William A. Gavin, manager ; of tho club, pulls an ace from the hole and says the New York commission will live up to the dictates of the. association even if It doesn't belong to it. The Walker boxing bill provides that the rules shall be tho rules of tho Inter- . national Pportlng Club. “The rules of the International Sporting Club hereby ure the rules of tbe National Association,” i Gavin says. With few exceptions the rules adopted are the same as the existing New Y’ork rules. Prices for bouts are limited to sl3 n s-eat. Title-holders must defend their 1 titles twice a year. An offender in one State shall be punishable In all the other States affiliated with the association. Weighing time shall be six hours before the contest intsead of eight hours. Tbe wearing of whlto trunks and the ting as a part of the uniform is prohibited. Valparaiso Tackles Notre Dame in Big Court Tilt Tonight VALPARAISO, Ind., Jan. 13.— A. basketball contest that is attracting wide attention will he played here tonight when Valparaiso and Notre Dame, rivals of several yeirs standing, get together. The Valpo team of this season has been hitting a merry pace and is reputed as tlw classiest combination ever turned out here, which means that Coach Halns’ Notre Jiame Irish, who are also stronger this season thau they have been for some time, will have to show all they know to keep the locals from avenging the football defeat suffered at South Bend last season. A peculiar angle to tonight's fame is the fact that the Notre Dame and alpo squads are composed for the most part of members of the football squads of the respective institutions. IRISH CREW BEATS ARMOUR CHICAGO, Jan. 13.—Notre Dame’s basket machine officially opened its collegiate season here last night with a 46to 28 vlctoiy over the Armour Tech five in •a contest featured by the brilliant floor work and accurate shooting of Captain “Hank” Mehre of the winning crew. Tho big center got out from under a heavy guard to score eleven field goals for his team before giving way to Garvey early in the second half. Armour rushed the Notre Dame athletes off their feet with u burst of opening speed and had four points to their credit before Mehre tossed his first field goal. Notre Dame settled down ut this point and quickly swung up to the lead, remaining out in front for the remainder of the contest. Coach Halas used his second-string men after his regulars had piled up a comfortable lead, because be is expecting a real battle with the Valpo five at Valparaiso, Ind., tonight.

DU Kyno and McPherson worked at forwards for the Dentals for a time, while Reetca was used In place of Dea Kyne later In the scrimmage. Quill, former Manual Training High School player, Is after a guard position on the Dental squad. Must Come to Coast to Play, Say Nichols BERKELEY, Cal , .Tan. 13.—Following tnvitatlons from eastern colleges for football games with the University of California team, Graduate Athletic Manager Luther Nichols of the university said today that any trip of the California team east was out of the question on accoun* of studies and other considerations.

The Hinnenkamp Buffet team, composed of Coyal, Newlin, Ken per, Malott and Tucker, set the pace for the evening and copped oft the first position in the standing with a count of 2,887.

HERMAN FACES ENGLISH CHAMP American Bantam on Short End of Odds for Tonight’s Boxing Clash. LONDON, Jan. 13.—England was confident today Jimmy Wilde, king of the flyweights and her only world's champion, will defeat Pete Herman tonight when they met in Albert Hall in a twenty-round contest. Odds of six to four were being bet that the American will lose. Wilde was resting today, but Herman, former bantam champion, had to do a little light work to keep down his weight. According to the agreement he must make 118 pounds ringside. Wilde will scale about 112 pounds. The announcement of the British Board of Boxing Control that it could not proclaim the bantamweight title at stake until more details of the Lynch-Herman l fight are procured from New York threw son:c cold water on the hopes of the British that Wilde would annex another title, but it did not detract from the interest in the fight. Still clinging to their old idol. Bombardier Wells, Londoners were betting even money he will win from Battling Levinsky in another twenty-round bout on the same card. Easy for Shortridge Coach Julius' Shortridge basketeers trampled over the Cumberland five oa the north side floor yesterday afternoon, winning by a45 to 11 count. During the first period the play was fast and interesting. but Cumberland slowed up considerably in the second half and the Blue and White had everything their own way. The score at the end of the half was 15 to 3. Riley and Richards showed to the best advantage for Shortridge. while Wittie and Morgan, stars of last year's Cumberland team, worked best for the visitors.
