JOHNSON HAS HIS SAY.
American League President Explains
Connection With Orioles.

BALTIMORE. July "a Senator Bryan
has given out the following official
statement OF Johnsons position WIN
regard to the Baltimore Club:
MIR. johnson is intensely interested
in the making of Baltimore an enthus-
iastic baseball city and he desires 10
strengthen the team as much as possible:
For the present the Baltimore team VIII
be under his direct management, al
though he is ready and willing TO nave II
transferred to q local company as 3ool
as the company can be properly formed
the intention being to get company
composed of representative men IN BAL
timore who are interested in baseball.
This requires some time. Efforts, now
ever. are being made and a number CT
prominent Baltimoreans have expressed
a willingness to become stockholders.
"As to the minority stockholders IN
the Baltim6re Baseball and Athletic
Company I will say that Mr.. Johnson
wants TO protect them so far as he pos
sibly can. He appreciates that ne can
do little until the new company Is
formed. The holders of the minority
stock were in no way responsible for
the action of the local company. which
resulted in its expulsion from the
ltdbut ut iLluOlitS WIZ
the wreck.
Just how far their interests can be
cared for in the new organization must
depend upon the company itself when
| formed. Certainly. if Mr.. Johnson can
| do it. their interests will be cared Tor
| The grounds are held in Mr.. Johnson s
name the lease having been assigned to
/ him to protect the American League
] from suffering by virtue OF Just such a
/ condition as that which happened.
! Mr.. Johnson will hold the grounds
] and continue the games there until such
/ time as another company can be
| formed. when. upon its admission 10
the American League. he will grant 1t
the American League franchise and in
/ sure to it the grounds.
What concerns Mr.. Johnson more
than anything else is to please Balti-
mere supporters CT baseball. He says
the newspapers and the public have ac-
corded him the warmest support under
the most trying circumstances. and ne
will direct. his energies toward bringing
the Baltimore team up to the highest
state
'As an evidence OF this. he declined
to transfer the Baltimore team to Cleve-
land for Saturday next and to Canton
Ohio. for Sunday, although he was as
sured that these two games would be
worth not less than s2.500 to the Ameri-
can League. He is determined that ever!
date which has been made for tbs
American League teams in Baltimor'
shall be filled regardless of cost, believ'
ing. as he does. that Baltimore is
great baseball city"
Secretary Treasurer Harry Goldman
of the Baltimore Baseball and Athletic
Company, resigned his position with tina
organization. and has been appointed MI
Johrson's agent here to look after th'
financial details of the new club unit
