THE BASEBALL PEACE PACT ( FAILS TO MATERIALIZE is ' Federal League Meeting Is Routine Af fair and Costly War Sidetracked— ,e Gilmore Re-elected for Term of Five Years New York. Oct. 24.—The annual | , meeting of the Federal Baseball League, which opened 111 this city yesterday, failed to develop any signs of the much discussed peace pact with organized baseball. The independent associ ation, during a long session behind closed doors, elected officers for the en • suing year; listened to various reports i from the clubs composing the circuit, and then adjourned, with the announce t ment that the meeting would be con tinued thi.< morning, i, As if to impress the older leagues with the idea that the Federals had ..iconic to stay, James A. Gilmore was re-elected for a term of live years. In h addition, lie was selected to serve as treasurer for 11 similar |>eriod, succeed ing J. A. George. Robert B. Ward, presi dent of the Brooklyn Federals, was elected vice president, and Lloyd liick . ert. secretary, each for a term of one year. President Gilmore stated that tlu- re ports of all the clubs as read at the t meeting showed that the league was in a satisfactory financial condition and! . that the sentiment of the club owners was unanimously in favor of continuing 1 the organization along the lines origin • ally laid out a year ago. He denied' , that any initiative had been taken by j the Federals looking toward peace with ' the National and American leagues or ~ that changes in the present circuit had 1 been discussed at the meeting. Gilmore added that there was no , truth in the reports that the Ward 1 Brothers,. of this city, were negoti ' .".ting for the purchase of the New York Americans or that Charles Weeghman was about to buy a controlling iuterest. 1 in the Chicago Nationals. Harmony and, satisfaction with the 1914 season and the prospects for next year were the kevnotes of the meeting, it was de \ j dared. There was a ring of defiance in the talk of various officers and club owners . of the league. President Gilmore said no overtures toward peace had been suggested at the meeting either by the Federals or the older leagues.

HARRT&PFRfi STAT?-TNT)EPENDENT, SATURDAY* EVENING, OCTOBER 24. 1914. ELSCHEID, GETTYSBURG FULLBACUAS TYPHOID Former Technical High School Athlete Believed to Have Contracted Dis ease While at Leliigh University Before Entering Pa. College Gettysburg, Oct. 24.—With the criti cal illuess of Elseheid, the star full back on the Gettysburg College foot ball team, the effect of the typhoid fever epidemic at Ijehigh University is being felt here. The big player is be lieved to have contracted the disease at the Bethlehem school before he came to tiettysburg. Between fifty and sixty students at Lehigh have fallen victims to the dis ease, and two have died, the second. Warren Henn, dying iu the Allentown Hospital on Thursday. Els lieid, who is from Harrisburg and formerly .a, star athlete at the Technical High scliooi, enrolled at Ijehigh at the open ing of the term in September but, a I few days later, decided to change and j came to Gettysburg. His prowess on the football field was at once seen and he made a position on the regular team without any trouble, lie played in several games and was al ways a tower of strength, gaining ground rapidly. His work iu the A 1 j bright game was especially worthy of note. Shortly afterward he was taken j ill and removed to Harrisburg. He has developed typhoid fever and, | allowing for the time it takes the dis ' ease to mature, evidently received the ! germs during his short stay at South Bethlehem. His father was *ll Gettys I'urg Thursday and said his son was in a critical condition, being delirious a ! large part of the time. The father re moved all of li is sou's belongings to their home in Harrisburg. It is s aid the epidemic at Lehigh began through infection that came from the place of a Polish farmer, who fur ; nished milk to the school, where condi tions were found to be in abominable shape. The inspectors found the putre fying carcass of a horse near the batn, being eaten up by chickens. The drain age led into stream at a point below which the farmer washed his milk cans.
