Heydler, presidents of the American Nation- al Leagues, decided at a conference in New York yesterday not to sign at present a tentative agreement with the minors. Following Johnsqn's re- fusal to sign the paper, John H. Far- rell, secretary of the National Asso- ciation of Professiondl Baseball Clubs, took the document to Presl- dent Heydler, who also declined to consider it. Heydler said that he and Johnson would mot #ign the ag- regment until they had time to go into the subject more fully. They miay take up the situation as presi- dents of the respective leagues at the Jext meeting of the National Com- mission, he stated. Farrell, who had remained in New York to get the sig- natures of Heydler and Johnsen, was greatly disappointed. He said he did not think there would be any Trouble in A the signatures after the agreement had been approved by August Herrmann, chairman of the commission, last Saturday. Golf Strategy. Now we know where Marshal Foch got his stategy. The great Frenchman plays golf--not a profes sional game, but in a safe and sane amateur manner, and he hates to lose a ball. Also he hates to waste time from the gagne to hunt up the missing. So after the day was over 'he would take his flash-lights and prowl over the links after the strays. Almost invariably he would come in with miord Balls than he started with. No one could identify the derelicts and so they went into his box. That was how it was that the Germans were surprised so' often and how so many of them were rounded up in the dark.

The boxing artists apparently train themselves with machine-like preci- sion. The other day when a "pug" was haled to court at Toronto for hit- ting another man, his alibi was that he could not have delivered the blow as described by the plaintiff. Inci- dentally, he explained that his "hit- ting weight" was 1,800 pounds. The plaintiff is a man of 120 pounds, and the defendant swore that there would be nothing left of the aceuser if he had walloped hit. Evidence was not submitted to how many oppo- nents the ring wonder had smashed to Jelly in his career: - ; Jack McAuliffe Home Again. "Jack" McAuliffe, the retired, un-{} defeated ®lightweight champlen, has left New York city and is making Indianapolis his home. McAuliffe is just back fom overseas, where he was engaged in war work.

McAuliffe has gone into business in Indiangpolis, and says that he likes the city quite well. Jack is representing a leather goods house, MecAuliffe"s home is in Brooklyn, N.Y. Major on Pacific Const. Out of the north-west comes the following: "Walter McCradie, who managed Salt Lake in the Pacific Coast League last season, Is quot- ed here (Portland) as saying he had two offers to manage major league clubs néxt season, but turn- ed thoi down because he wants to help the Pacific Coast, League de- velop into a major on its own ac- gount, with the addition of Port- land and Seattle to its ecireuit. "McCredie thinks that in a few years the coast e #48 now pro- posed will be able to assert iskelf to full majordom and that with a longer season than. the American and the National, it will be the class of the whole baseball world."
