Ath) infin Club Owners Consider It Imperative to Oust President Ban Johnson a Failure of American League Head to Come Here to Help Select a New National Com- mission Chairman Peeves Comiskey et al. By Bozeman Bulger. LATE exhibition of petulance ‘and unconcern for the welfare of baseball has convinced comes! charles Comiskey and other ¢lub owners in the American League that the question of substituting a well- :|balanced President for Ban Johnson is growing imperative. ‘This recent quirk of the Johnsonian mind is a refusal to meet with the committee for the selection of a new Chairman of the National Commis- sion because Col. Jacob Ruppert ls a member~the sole member, in fact— of the American League Committee, This, too, in face of the fact that the Colonel was appointed by Johnson himself. When the question of selecting a new Chairman arose some time ago cach league was requested to appoint a Meee which would —— — the fie suggest a man a ceed Mr. Herrmann. ‘The National League inted Mr. Veeck of Chi- cago and .

Two days the joint committee met in Now York ready to act and communicated with Mr, Johnson by lone distance telephone. He notified them tbat he would not meet with the committee if Col. Ruppert was a member, He did not suggest any one in place of the New York owner, how- ever, Asa result there was no meet ing, the National League representa- tives have gone away and there is no Y|new Chairman of the National Com- mission. American League club owners are boginning to be much concerned as to how long such a condition can exist. If Johnson cannot rise to the point of representing his league in minded manner the time approaching when it will be neces- sary to ‘ure another President or the league will suffer from inertia, Col. Ruppert was visibly embarase- ed when consulted about the situa- tion and asked to be excused from discussing it, It was evident, how- ever, that he was thoroughly dis. gusted.

Carl Mays pitched in the games against them as well as against Detroit. By support- ing the position of Mr, Navin, Ban Johnson does not admit the winning of the pennant by the White Sox: Navin could just as well have made a protest and held up their money. There is no criticism of the National Commission. Mr. Heydler and Garry Herrmann have the money on hand and are reary to pay it over.

O ought to bé a top heavy fa- 6 vorite over Princeton for Sat- urday’s struggle in the Palmer BSta- dium, The Crimson eleven has breezed through its preparatory games. The Tigers have been bagged by Colgate and West Virginia and ‘| narrowly escaped a third trimming from Lafayette, Never before has Old Nassau come to the big three series with such a disastrous record. Comparative scores in these days of { teams that formerly were easy meat for the big fellows are practically valueless for gauging the relative merits of elevens, Even on top of West Virginia's crushing defeat of the Orange and Black last Saturday, Harvard men are not going through the motions of tossing their bankrolls regardless of odds on the outcome of the Tige: be] battle, The one main restraining fac- tor js the ignorance of Crimson root- ers concerning the real power of this year’s Cambridge aggregation. It has never been thoroughly tested, No one apparently knows just what the Crimson warriors will do in a stiff fight such as the desperate Tigers will certainly put up. The masked Cambridge machine may either touch off some big shells or a lots of duds. ‘The state of uncertainty is attri uted to the unusually easy schedule arranged for the Crimson this sea- son, Only the Brown contest gave Harvard any kind of a rub more ‘| spirited than the daily brushes with the scrubs, With convincing power Fisher's new combination lashed out and scored w touchdown in the first ’ play, only to be played 11 by Brown the re- mainder of the game. Bob Fisher, taking Percy Haugh- ton's place as head coach, had to *|mould a brand new line. The Crim- son forwards have performed every- thing necessary in the early easy games, but how they'll play against te |stiff opposition is something thou- sands of Harvard rooters would’ like to know just about now. Eddie Mahan, who {s assisting Fisher, some days ago pointed oat the weakness of the schedule and likelihood of the men cracking when started in a siam- bang argument, tackling Lafayette, Colgate and West Virginia, are sufficiently roughened up for most emergencies. The Orange and Black eleven does not lack ag- gressiveness and spirit no matter what Its other shortcoming may be. And as Princeton always battles with more confidence against Harvard than Yale the merits of the rival teams in Saturday's controversy are pretty evenly matched when every- | thing ts balanced, And the Crimson may be foreed to take some of its own medicine, for Old Nassau tn Maury Trimble has de~ veloped a one-man threat that Har- vard used with such deadly effect when Bddie Mahan wore a Crimson jersey. Princeton offense is built mostly around young Mr. Trimble, who is fleet of foot and can toss fot ward passes with the accuracy of a baseball pitcher putting ‘em over the N thé season's showing.
