Little Hope of an American League

New York, Dec. 19-Ban Johnson
leaves New York without securing
National league concession permitting
him to place a second ball club in Chi

indicates that he has given up hope
on that score. However. he was sue
cessful in one thing in that the new
drafting rule will go through the new
rule book another season. The drafting

tiOn is now $1,000 and the American
league can hold a man for two sea sons
or part of two years before that player
