ANNUAL MEETING TODAY

There will be two different gather- t Inge of baseball magnates In Chicago J 3 Tk- national itnmmUdlnn Ka? supreme power of organized baseball, composed of President Johnson of the American leagrue. President Lynch of the National leagrue, and Augrust Herrmann, owner of the Cincinnati ball club, will hold a postponed session in the office of President Johnson In the Fisher building, while the annual meeting: of the American association will take place at the Congress hotel. The commission's session is- likely to be short because most of the business was done down in Cincinnati ten days ago. As President Johnson could not attend on account of illness, the meeting" was postponed and transferred to Chicago. Evidence in numerous rases to be tried by the commission already has been taken, but decisions could not be given until Johnson had read the evidence. Consequently the main part of the business of the commission today will be the giving- of decisions after Johnson has heard the evidence on various claims by players and clubs. Chairman Herrmann has announced the meeting for 10 o'clock this morning'. PHILADELPHIA BUYTAFT CLUB D. C. Snyder Chosen Secretary and Treasurer; Locke President. Philadelphia. Pa., Jan. 16.

MAGNATES HOLD ,

He and President Lynch of the National league are expected to arrive on morning trains. President Tom Chivington of the American association says he expects nothing startling to take place at the session of his club owners. There are numerous matters of minor interest to come up before the magnates, probably the matter of a schedule for next sea son being the most important. Every year there is a question whether the association will adopt a schedule of 168 games or 154. The latter number is the same as played in the major leagues, but the association has sue cessfully played 168 for several sea' sons and President Chivington ex pects the same number to be played this year. It is quite probable that something other than the association's business affairs will bring out some interesting news. For instance two of the minor league managers arrived yesterday and called upon President Murphy of the Cubs with the hope of securing some of his extra ball players. Others will tackle him today and some have eyes on Manager Callahan's horde of White Sox athletes. new owners met and the following officers were elected: President Mr. Locke. Secretary and treasurer Daniel C. Snyder, Pittsburg, father-in-law of Mr. Locke. Directors Fred T. Chandler, W. S. Baker, D. C. Snyder, W. H. Locke and Wilbur F. Sadlr of New Jersey. Mr. Sadler was placed on the board because the club is a New Jersey corpo ration. In the sale of the club Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, who held the controlling Interest, was represented by C. H. Remboldt.

What Is the most thrilling winter. sport?" - Ask the question anywhere in the east or the south and you will hear a malllon voices shout, "Coasting, to bogganing, skating.

But in Minnesota, In northern Wisconsin, in the Rocky Mountains, in Norway, Sweden, northern France, Switzerland, Prussia, Denmark and Belgium millions more will exclaim, "Skiing." Skiing is generally regarded as an infant sport in, America, but that is not the case in all parts of the country. Stoughton, Wisconsin, had a ski tournament In 1884 at which Elelf Tvelten made a leap of eighty-four feet. The town had another in 1889.

Williams' manager also claims his fighter received the popular decision

Since that time ski tournaments have

been held so- often in America that record of the jumps over 125 feet long would resemble an edition of the Con gresslonal record. The long jumps did not start though until 1909, when Ole Felrlng made 144 feet on the big ski hill at Duluth, Minn. Oscar Gunderson covered 138 feet off the steel trestle at Chippewa Falls on the same day, but in 1S11 the record went up another notch., Sigrud Hanson of Chippewa-Falls, competing against the best professionals in America, on the steel trestle in Stoughton, Wis., Jumped 141 feet and stood. Hardly had the newspapers stopped showing pictures of the slider in the air than there came from Ironwood, Mich., the report of a 152foot leap by Anders Haugen and one of 154 feet by Barney Riley, competing as an amateur. In the same contest James Presthus leaped 156 feet, but fell, as did Relley also. over Coulon when they fought In New Tork on Oct. 16. Since that time the Baltimore boxer has engaged In eight fights and won all. EASTERNER LATEST "WHITE HOPE" Duluth. Minn.. Jan. 16.
