Vocunarsaeenacet Balk Line Cue Title Play to i Start Tonight CHICAGO, May 16.—Jake Schaefer and Welker Cochrane. youthful billiard stars, will open Judge Landis, Decide! (Editorial) Judge Landis, supreme commissioner of baseball, should make a decision at once in the Bill Kenworthy case, Either one way or the other, regardless of how the Judge decides, the verdict should be given and given immediately. For months the case has been dragging along with Kenworthy allowed to go to Portland and with Seattle completing a deal for Marty Krug and then shipping Krug to the Chicago Cubs. What the Judge learned that made. him suspend Ken- worthy again after the Iron Duke had been allowed to go to Portland The Star does not profess to know, but whatever it was the Coast league has a right to know what the verdict is to be. The Coast league needs Bill Kenworthy because he is the pivot of the Portland team. With the Iron Duke on the sidelines the Portland club has floundered around in the cellar. For the first time in years the Coast league had a paying proposition in Portland and now it looks like the Rose City fans are in for another cellar assignment unless the club is braced immediately, The game, with its frenzied finance, needs players of Kenworthy’s hustling temperament. Baseball, in order to be financially successful, must have strict organization. But America’s national game borders on monopoly and it is only thru the good will of American citizens that such a monopoly is allowed. Landis was appointed high commissioner of baseball in the days when the game was threatened by the Black Sox scandal and was vested with autocratic power. Unless he uses that power judicially he is endangering the life of baseball. If Landis bars Kenworthy from baseball he should make up his mind immediately so the Portland club can re-organize. Both William Klepper and Kenworthy have undoubtedly violated baseball rules by their side-agree- ment that would have made Kenworthy a free agent when he refused to come to terms with the Seattle club. Klepper is charged with tampering with Seattle play- rs by advising Kenworthy to hold out. Both should be punished in some way. Far be it from us to tell Landis his business, but from the Coast league standpoint a decision must be made and must be made promptly. Unless the offense is judged one that would justify barring a man from playing for good the honorable Judge is going to feel a kickback from the Coast league that may rock the very baseball of the game if he bars the Iron Duke from Ken Williams Tells of Home-Run Ambitions New Swat King Doesn't Expect to Pass Babe Ruth’s Mark, but He Hopes to Lead American League in Homers This Season BY KEN WILLIAMS Y one ambition is to lead the home-run hitters of the American League for the season of 1922. I am positive I will accomplish that feat. I am already out in front with a comfortable margin. Last year with Bob Meusel I shared second honors to Ruth in the matter of home runs. This season I hope to show the way to all the American League sluggers. When the season opened I made up my mind to go after these honors. With Ruth and Meuse! under suspension I, felt that I was offered a great opportunity to break into the} | home-run spot-light. Thus far I have succeeded very well in my efforts to show the way.
