The latter had com- mented the general effect that Johnson's cedent of eighteen ¥ | down . in the selection of a directorate those clubs which falled to kow-tow to | him showed a rule-or-ruin policy, and | that his elimination from baseball was necessary new for vesterda executive ved to be regime in organizeu oaseball and the best interests of the younger major league. Johnson remorked in his reply that the league had always resorted to the ballot, instead of using the regular ro- tation method, when it was found that the latter plan would place an “unde- sirable member” upon the board. “At our meeting,” he said, “it was | the sentiment that two members should not be brought into the direc- | torate, as they had attempted to | wreck the American League. Mr. Rup- pert of the New York club was elected | a member of the board, but declined to serve. The club owners then elect- ed Md. Shibe to fill his place.” Frazee Takes Verbal Fing. H. H. Frazee, president of the Bos- ton Red Sox, glancing about for on inkwell, in order to pen a few remarks addressed - to the party In Chicago, dipped his quill pen inadvertently.into a pot of vitgiol which happened to be standing near. This is what he wrote, signed, sealed and mailed to the be- loved chieftain of the league: “If you are quoted correctly in the New York and Boston papers today in | your statement which reads, ‘The league had always resorted to the bal- | lot instead of using the usual roat- tion method of the election of the Board of Directors when it was found the rotation method would bring an undesirable member to the board,’ you are stating a deliberate tfalsehood.

DUNN IS AROUSED | Baltimore Owner Says Major Leagues Arc Hurting His Club by Overtures Made to His Star Players, Baltimore, Md., Dec. 23.—Jack Dunn, owner and manager of the Bal- timore club of the International | League, is considering making a for- mal protest to Judge Landis, the base- | ball commissioner, over what he claims are the efforts of certain major league owners to make his star play- , ers dissatisfled. The Oriole leader asserts that sev- eral fake stories have been sent out recently in regard to trading Pitcher Bentley and others of his best per- formers for playvers now in the big | leagues. As Dunn puts it, these stories have the tendency to cause dissatis- faction in his ranks. Bentley has just signed a contract with Baltimore cov- i ering the next two vears.

He is San Jose's first world | champion, and the ‘mu(‘h of the occasion. Lewis was presented with a hand- | some silver cup and was induced to | make an address of acceptance. After admitting that “as an orator’” he was “a good wrestler.,” Lewis told the { erowd which gathered to do him honor that he valued the esteem of | his townsmen more than the championship. He was prevailed upon to describe in some detail the manner in which he won his laurels. Several | hundred persons called at the Lewis home yesterday to greet the champion.
