 William Meyer. president of the Western baseball association. left Fort Wayne suddenly Monday night and it is. declared that he is short in his. ac- counts with the association about $4.OOO. His sudden departure was due to the arrival of Empires Arlie La- tham-JOe HOrnung and Tony Mullane, who demand about $500 back salaries Meyer is auditor of Allen county and recently confessed shortage of S2.- 800. which his bOndsmen agreed ito make good. To-day it Is announced that experts have found his shortage with the county amounts to S6.400. "DOper' was the contentious way in which Andrew Freedman characteriz- ed the apOcryphaI yarn that he and some of his associates had banded themselves into q corporation for the exclusive control of baseball and other sports. 1t scarcely needed Mir Freed mans authoritative denial to dispose Of the story. but his characterization of it puts the official stamp of wild vagary upon it. To corral sport would be the dream of the impractical ex- cIusively, and even MT Freedman's enemies have charged him with being impractical Tie story was all the vaster in its imaginings becauseitdid notconfine itself to basbaIl, but was to include all professional athletics If the story had been that Mir Freedman was endeavOring to cudgeI some exec utfve capacity into the brains of some of the National as well as some of the American league magnates, IneTe would have been plausibility, not to speak of common sense; but that 1t should have contemplated the control of all professional athletics was too absurd for serious consideration. Busi- ness methods must, of course, be adopted in the management of sport but the controlling and the corralling of sport is beyond the power of any individual or of any set of individuals within or without a corporation, for the excellent reason that there would then be destroyed the basic element of sport competition.
