BAN JOHNSON is
AFRAID OF BRUSH
American League President
Plays Safe in New
York.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 20
When President Ban Johnson left New
York for Chicago he had completed
the deal for the grounds which are to
be occupied by the American league in
the former city. The fact that he re-
fused to reveal their location will
doubtless be construed as evidence of
a bluff, but there are good, substantial
reasons why he should not. Despite
the fact that sweet peace now reigns
within the baseball camp, there are
those who would personally profit by
the failure of the American league to
get in New York. Though it Is not
known for a certainty that powerful
National league influences were util-
lied to prevent the completion of the
deal which had been practically ar
ranged for the ground near the termi-
nal of the new underground system,
there is good reason for believing that
Freedman was responsible for the
change of mind of those who engi-
neered the local end of that deal. Hence
it would be the height of unwisdOm
for Mr.. Johnson to tip off his hand at
this stage, and give the enemies of the
American league ammunition with
which to harass it.
No matter what the cost, the Amer
lean league must enter New York. 1t
has overcome other obstacles just as
formidable when it did not possess a
1.-THE of its present influence and pres
tige. The active opposition of the
Americans entrance to New York will
naturally come from those who will
have the most fear from the promised
invasion. The conditions for Ameri-
can league success in Gotham are just
as ripe now as they were in Philadel-
phia and Boston two years ago. And
all opposition that 1t may encounter
now will only act as a boost to the club
when it finally becomes located. Ow-
ing to the limited time between now
and the date set for the opening of the
championship season some changes
may have to be made in the schedule
for the purpose of enabling the New
York club to complete the necessary
improvements, but that will be only a
mild setback, if 1t turns out a set
back at all.
