Detroit, Mich, Nov. 14-Baseball
matters came to standsti1l today,
President Ban Johnson failing to make
his expected return to town. The big
president, when he does get here, will
probably have to start it all over again,
if he persists in his efforts to induce
local parties to finance the PROPOSE
ton.
Philip c. Mcmillan, the party with
whom Mr.. johnson has been talking
here, has declared he is out of the deal
entirely. In the event that Detroit
parties are not found within a few days
it is now probable that President
johnson will accept one of the outside
offers. One party who makes one of
these is ready to assume the club on
about the same terms that the league
itself would. That is to say, he will
purchase the stock at a figure some
what in excess of that offered by Grit

the club, retain Barrow as manager
and in every way conduct the club as q
