THE EVENING _WORLD, WED! WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1922. PRESIDENT JOHNSON CALLS AMERICAN LEAGUE MEETING TO ORDER’ MAGNATES CLEARING DECKS FOR SESSION WITH LANDIS KG Lee American League Conclave To-day Expected to Prove Just as Colorless and Perfunctory as Was Meeting of National] 4 League. By Bozeman Bulger. HE first phase of the big league meetings passes with the National League magnates handing around cigars, reading the treasurer's report, declaring that great blessings have fallen upon hi seball— and the draft resurrection nipped in the flower of its youth. It might be added that the Giants have been declared winncrs of the National League pennant and congratulated. We violate no c»ncence in announcing that at the joint meeting to-morrow Judge Landi will offi- cially proclaim the same Giants winners of the World's Series, The American League meets at 4 o'clock this afternoon—that hour being picked, probably, to interfere with the smooth working of New York's evening papers. It won't be much interference, at that. iis ‘a Ss PROPPED SO to order and ponderously notify the owners that they have made money; that it has been a big year in basebait our national pastime. He will then spring the announcement that the Yanks have won the pennant. As to what happened afterward will not be disclosed for fear of stealing Judge Land: stuff for to-morrow, ‘The draft agreement has five years to run and the boys have decided to let it go at that. In the meantime great crowds of managers, ball players, reporters and whatnot walt without eager for the first tidings. That, in substance, should give a vivid picture of the baseball powwow. EVENING WORLD FIRST TO ANNOUNCE YANK SALE AND SIGNING OF CHANCE As exclusively announced in the first and all later editions of The Evening World of yesterday to the effect that Col. Jacob Ruppert had taken over the half interest of T. u. Huston and had become the sole owner of the New York American League Club, the consummation of the deal was fully confirmed by Col, Ruppert last night when he invited the newspaper men into his office and announced that he had arranged to take over Huston’s half interest in the Yanke The Evening World on Oct. 10 an- nounced that Frank Chance was to be the new manager of the Boston Red Sox. This exclusive announce- ment was confirmed by Mr. Frazee this week, over two months after Tho Evening World had printed the story, after nr repeated denials. As this is written from the field there is much talk of trades, but there are no trades. To our right Wilbert Ktobinson is in tense conversation with Otto Miller. To our immediate left Miller Huggins, minus his teeth, is talking earnestly to Harry Wolverton, trom the coast. A moment later they ure Joined by George Stallings.

De sum of $1,600 for fouling Mike O'Dowd on Nov. 30 at the Rink Sporting Club of Brooklyn, according to a ruling made by the 4 State Athletic Commission at yester- day’s meeting. Along with the anouncement of Rosenberg’s punishment the Boxing Commission produces letters from Dr. James E. Thompson, physician of the Rink Sporting Club, also John Leon, president of the fight club, to prove that there was nothing the matter with Rosenberg’s hand, Whether or not Rosenberg’s hand was in condition to fight, as set forth in these letters, will be left to the judgment of those who witnessed his defense of the title conferred upon him by the Boxing Commission, Suf- fice it to say that the letters referred to admit that Rosenberg requested a postponement on account of his in- jured hand ten days before the fight. It seems hardly necessary to say that Rosenberg must have some good reason for seeking this postponement other than that he feared to fight O'Dowd. Rosenberg appeared before tho Boxing Commission Tuesday, Dec. 5, on which date it was announced by the Boxing Commission that the boxer must submit proof within one week that he did not make the statement that he had been forced to fight with ractured hand, or otherwise must ston. z and his manager did not a retraction. This may or may not have had ary bearing on yesterday’s ruling, but at the meeting of De 5 nothing was d ubout forfeiting Rosenberg's end of the purse for, fouling O'Dowd, Joe Schwinger, Dave Rosenberg's auger, said last night: By Ed Van Every. AVE ROSENBERG is to forfeit mi “I will appear before the Boxing Commission to-day and request the mount of money still due my man, If refuse, I will bring a civil action ainst the commission to recover nberg’s purse. “When I appeared before ihe com- sion on Dec I was distinctly red that it ¥ lucky thing for Rosenberg that the alleged fouling of O'Dowd had not been committed pre- vious to that date, as a ruling had been passed that day that would have cost Rosenberg hjs end of the purse nat was held up after the Rink Sporting Club fight. Not a word was iid at that time about ordering nt purse forfeited. I was re- quested to make a retraction of Dave's statement that he had been forced to fight O'Dowd with a frac- tured hand, The statement was the truth and was overheard by threo persons. I refused to make a retrac- tion. The outcome, I think, speaks for itself."” BRITTON CANCELS BARRETT BOUT; MAY RETIRE FROM RING The -round bout ‘between Bobby rett, the crack welter- weight of Philadelphia, and Jack Brit- ton of New York, the former welter- F hampion, which was to have been it at the special boxing show « e Arena A.
