NEW YORK. August PIT has leaked
out that Ban B. Johnson president of the
American League, was a recent visitor to
New York. Ban gumshoed into town and
out again without tipping of his presence
to the scribes. He was in conference with
President Farrell of the New York Amer
lean League team.
The American team management has
made no statement. nor will 1t discuss the
matter. But it all lends color to the state
ment made by Farrell to friend that he
was searching for a new manager and had
an eye On Hughey Jennings of the Detroit
Tigers. Mr.. Farrell is quoted as saying
that he would give $4,000 for Jennings
release. He regards Hughey as the best
club manager on earth. and would gladly
part with the sum named to secure his
contract now held by the Detroits.
Stallings May Get It.
The conference. it is stated, had mainly
to do with this subject. Should negotia-
tions to secure Jennings fall it may be
stated on reliable information that George
stallings will take hold of the Yankees
next year. 1t is stated further that STALL
ings and johnson have patched up their
grievances and that the pair have been
closeted at local headquarters within the
week.
OF course, until Mr.. Farrell decides to
talk there will be many haphazard
guess as to next years pilot. Almost ev
cry one has been suggested for the posi-
ton, from Ned Hanlon to George Davis,
but Stallings Is the logical man. since he
has always made good as a leader-if his
differences with Johnson are forgotten.
Hard Blow for Ban.
Ban is anxious to have a winner in
Gotham. 1t has been his one great ambi-
ton ever since the American League
started to buck the Polo Grounds crowd.
The sad and sorry showing Of the Yam
KEGS this year has been a dreadful blow
to the junior major league. And with the
Giants on fair way to winning another
pennant, 1t is felt that II American
League patronage is to be retained there
nothing but flag winner will do. john
son has been very busy ever since the
slump of the Yankees in assisting Mr.
Farrell to land material for his club, but
the task Is a hard one, as none Of the
rivals feels like giving anything up.

Get Out, SAYS Farrell.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, August 22.-John
H. Farrell, president Of the New York
State League and secretary of the Ma
tional Association OF Minor Leagues. was
in this city recently to investigate the in
vasion of organized territory by the At
lantic League. and he declared that bit
ter warfare would be waged against the
outlaw league, and that President Dub
bins has closed every door against his
league ever being recognized, as protected
by his action in invading New York State
League territory.
Farrell said: I'VE have no fault to find
with any league operating in open ter
ritory, but we will resist any attempt to
tear down the national agreement by the
invasion Of national association terri

IMPERIAL MONOPOLY
OF ELECTRICITY.
RumOr That Germany will Control
Supply Causes Stir.

Just at present German en-
gineering circles are much worked
up over the report that the i'm
perial Treasury cOntemplates max
ing the supply of electricity an
imperial monopoly. Nothing def
mite has yet been announced, but
the mere rumor has caused a CON
siderable stir. In commenting on
this statement Engineering"
says:
If the electricity supply is TO
become an imperial monopoly the
municipalities will suffer. The
public electric power stations are
either owned and managed by the
municipalities, or they will be
come their property at the eXpira-
ton of the concessions granted to
companies. Most of these electric
supply undertakings" are doing
we'll; a smaller number do not pay
their way, and would hardly be
more prosperous under govern
ment administration, which does
not, as a rule, work more economi-
cally and successfully than private
enterprise. If the empire is to
buy these undertakings out it will
saddle itself with a heavy debt,
and the municipalities will have
to impose further rates to compen
safe themselves for the loss OF
revenue when they are no longer
able to trade III electric light and
power. That the state would sue
coed in increasing its income by
raising the rates for the electricity
supply is not at all probable
though il has been suggested II
the electric light of today had to
compete against the gaslight OF
twenty years ago electricity might
disregard its competitors. But il
is too often forgotten that, as
founding as the development OF
electricity has been, the PROCESS
made by gas illumination and gas
power supply is still more astound-
ing, and that the gas progress
curves continue to rise more steep
ly than the electricity curves.
Any attempt to raise the electricity
rates would benefit the gas in.
