POW-WOW

ON FRIDAY

BV JirK VtlOl'K ". f. Jorrlcr ('.porting: Kdltor VEW YORK. Dec. 8 Baseball nin ill begin arriving here Friday for the big pow-wow in which the game is to be presented with a brand new torn of government. JuJ K. M. I .and is. baseball's newly appointed high commissioner, .! slated to preside at the meeting of the Joint major and minor league committee and la expected to otTcr some valuable advice to the delegates. Meanwhile club owners of the two major leagues and numerous mlnorUague owners and managers will camp on the fringe of the committee meeting and it is not unlikely that some trades and sales, which interest the public far more than the political side of the game, will be effected. Manager John McMraw of th Giants is hurrying north from Havana to attend the meeting. The Giant are in the field for playing talent, as are several other National Lgue clubs. The "White Sox, wrecked by th dropping of eight players, are ready to buy a number of players and Irom n indications it looks like an old tune winter for the hot sto c fan. Spring graining plans for a number of clubs are du to be announced here

during the coming week. The ankees, i it Is now believed certain, will tram j Shrevetiort. La. Brooklyn may a- !

lect New Orleans or Baton Krtuge. President Baker, of the Phillies, may announce the name cf a new manager during the coming week. Kill JJonoaii who managed Jersey City last season, is the latest man mentioned for the berth. The two major leagues will hold meeting Tuesday or Wednesday to rat;fy the new ntiionai agreement whenever the Joint committee is ready to present It. Later the major leagues may hold a Joint meeting for the purpose of concerted action looking toward the stamping out of gambling.

Mouthpieces

fHE mouthpiece is an impor-

JL tant part of your telephone. When it is broken, the sound waves are imperfectly transmitted and the sendee suffers. In Chicago approximately 70,455 broken telephone mouthpieces have to be replaced yearly. Think of the labor and the material involved in replacing 70,455 broken mouthpieces in the offices, homes, factories and warehouses of the city. Careful handling of the telephone instrument avoids waste and faulty service. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY
