Chicago, Nov. 21.-A sensational breach be-
tween President Ban Johnson Of the American
league and President Charles Comiskey of the
Chicago club of that organization is likely to be
the outcome Of 'tomorrow's annual fall meeting
of the former organization, which begins at
the Auditorium Annex tomorrow.
President Comiskey is out with an ayowed
statement that the American league can no
longer keep pace with the National while Presi-
dent johnson is retained at the head of the
formers affairs. and while he does not promise
to bring any direct charges against Johnson at
the meeting, he declares openly that the league
is OH the verge of dissolution If johnson is kept
at the head.
Comiskey's direct allegation against johnson
Is that the latter is conniving with President
Hermann Of the Cincinnati National league
club and chairman of the national baseball 1.m-
mission. to consolidate the American and Ma
tional leagues.
There will be an amalgamation of the Amer
lean and National leagues within a year or

be only eight clubs. In either event the Amer
lean league will get all the worst Of it, It

Journal Special Service.
Cambridge Mass, Nov. 21.-Harvard's foot
ball practice was favored yesterday by the re-
turn Of three valuable crpples to the varsity
lineup. The three men were Carr fullback who
hurt his leg in the Brown game; Montgomery,
tackle, who broke bone in his face fully
month ago, and Nesmith. right halfback, who
cracked bone in his ankle in the same game
Up to the time of his injury Carr was easily
first chance for his position, but now he will
have to fight it out with Harrison, who played
such corking game against Dartmouth.
Harrison, who weighs 100 pounds and is very
powerful has had experience on a varsity eleven
before having won his "H'' in the Pennsylvania
game as substitute to Tommy Croydon, the ALL
America fullback in 1902. Carr, on the other
hand, played tackle until this year. Guild,
another recently crippled fullback, was also out
yesterday, as was Nichols. halfback, who was
hurt in the Pennsylvania game
There was no scrimmage, the attention Of the
coaches being entirely devoted to getting the
plays to running off faster. Nate Hail. substi-
tute end and one Of the best punters on the
squad, was tried at quarterback on the varsity,
altho it Is stated that Starr will be all right
by the time Of the Yale game Saturday.
