Chicago, Oct. 21.—With the idea reconstructing the team wrecked by the exposure of crookedness in the 1019 world's series, Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the White Sox, is sald to have offered approximate- ly $50,000 for three members of the Baltimore Orioles. A bid of $30,000 for two St. Paul players is also ru- mored. The men sought are Jack Bentley, left-handed pitcher; Bill Holden, outficlder, and Boley, a promising shortstop. Bentley broke into baseball of from Baltimore as a pitcher with the Washington club. ! During the past season he played first base and pitched, his record be- ing .387 at bat and sixteen victories. He made twenty home runs. Holden at one time with the Yan- kees, batted .366 in 1920 and was the club’s best run getter Boley is a star flelder. Max Bishop, the sec- ond baseman, also has been mentioned n fon with the deal Paul men Comiskey seeks are Hargrave, a catcher, and Elmer Miller, an outfielder, once with the Yankees.

It was plainly to be seen that they meant everything they did and said and that they feel | they did a good job and a necessary job when they declared the National Commission dead and gone and decid- ed to create in its place a Board of | Control with supreme power. Also they made it clear that they are not seeking war or talking war, but that the eight National League clubs and New York, Boston and Chi- cago of the American are fully deter- club league in case Ban Johnson's fac- tion of five are not willing to line up with them for a new deal and new torm of government for baseball Cols. Ruppert and Houston of the Yankees, Charles Stoneham and John McGraw of the Giants, George Grant of the Boston Braves and Harry Frazee of the Boston Red Sox r turned in a party vesterday. They dis- cussed the Chicago meeting from va- cious aspects. One of the results of the meeting and its steps, as made known by Col. Ruppert, is that in the event of a twelve club league the Yankees will share with the Giants the Polo Ground as a permanent home. In the more likely event of the reactionary five changing their tune and falling into line, which would mean continuance of two eight club major leagues, the Yankees are to stay at the Polo Ground two years, not one, as has been the understanding. Talk of a twelve club league is no bluff. Each of the returning magnates said that emphatically yesterday. “The most important move now is to see that the right men are had for the new Board of Control,"t said Col. | Houston. “That must be done to back up our eourse in Chicago. A twelve club is not only feasible, but will come unless the five other clubs join with us, and what's more will be a success. | “Conditions which existed twenty- ganization held forth have nothing to do with conditions today. Times have changed; vconditions have changed. Louisville, Washington, Baltimore and Cleveland, when it had a population of only 200,000, were in the circuit then, but today we'd have two clubse in Boston, two in New York, one in Brooklyn, or maybe two; one in Phil- adelphia. “That would give a strong Eastern circuit. Two clubs in Chicago, one in Pittsburg, one in some other city would give a strong Western circuit. Circuit plans are all tentative, but the question of circuit and schedule was discussed from every side in Chicago and everything else of importance we could think of gone over thorough- ly before we took any action. Experts | on the subject, such as Barney Drey- fuss, said workable schedules were a simple matter. “There were experiericed baseball men at this meeting and they agreed that a twelve club league would be a success. At first John McGraw didn’t think so. He said there would be two too many tail enders, but he changed his views on hearing it discussed and said he thought it would be a go after all. There would be six second divi- sion teams, of course, but a two-part enson would give all a. better chance.” Think They Arc Sore. Houston when asked motive the Johnson five could have had in staying away from the meeting, replied that maybe they were sore because the plan didn’t originate with Johneon. If there had been a proper tribunal at the time, he pointed out, the Mays case would have been adjudicated by it without a row. Col. Houston wasn't sure that the Johnson coterie would fall in with the others, but said they could organ- ize a four or six club league of their own. But, he added, the average amount taken out of New York in 1920 by each of the remaining seven clubs was $55,000, and as Boston and Chicago are fair to middling them- selves at whirring the turnstiles he didn’t believe the five would hold out without thinking it over carefully. It they were sensible, he said, they'd come in. No¢ After Johnson. Col. Ruppert stressed the point that this was no war on anybody and no desire to force out Ban Johnson or anybody else. The idea was, he con- tinued, for Johnson to remain presi- dent of the American League and about * DENISON GARAGE 430 MAIN STREET Livers Cars for Hire, Day and Night. Storage.

Ruppert went on, “there’ll be a new league. We waited a year for a Na- tional Commission chairman to be named. Nothing was done amd the National League demanded that some- thing be done.

If Johnson and his clubs had had a plan we'd have been glad to hear it, and to adopt it if it were a better one than ours. ‘““I believe those men who are out will see it our way.

We have no quarrel with Johnson, though Comiskey is very bitter against him.” Col.

He also said Bar- ney Dreyfus was willing to let another club go into Pittsburg in case it comes to a twelve club league. Asked if he Pershing.
