mann in Favor OF Farrell.
The report is in circulation Just now
that Garry Hermann will be replaced as
chairman Of the National Baseball Com
mission by J. H. Farrell. secretary Of the
minor leagues, who is regarded as a non
partisan.
The fact that Hermann owns the Gin
cinnah club. and with President Heydler
enables the National League to have two
votes out of three In questions passed
upon by the commission, has long been
opposed by the American League. Herr
mann's attitude in the case OF Player
Vaughn, who is a bone of contention be-
tween the two major leagues, has caused
much III feeling. Il is said. Hermann is
charged with voting in the interest OF his
own club, in spite OF the strong claim
upon the services OF Vaughn set forth
by the New York Americans.
To avoid the possibility Of serious fric-
tion. therefore, the American League Is
believed TO favor the election Of a new
presiding ofhcer in the supreme court

Parkview settled the championship Of
Section yesterday at Capital City Park
when they took slow game from the
Aggies. Of the Independence League. The
Aggies' only chance rested with yester-
days game, and they took their defeat
to heart
on TO Good start.
Parkview scored two each in the sec
ond and NTH, and added one in the sixth.
The game was the Suburbanites from the
very start. as nearly every batter hit the
ball hard. and only good fielding cut down
the hits 10 what they were. The Aggies
had three sllp-ups to their credit, and
technically should have had more, as
they made several weird attempts to
stop hard grounders.
Mcfarland, ParSview's spitbal artist,
opposed Ferguson in the box. The former
had his opponents galted. and half Of the
batters could not get the ball out Of the
inheld. Parkview had twenty assists.
which goes 10 show how the Indepen-
dence Leaguers were batting. McFar-
land should have had a shut-out TO his
credit, but O'Neil's error in the sixth
let in the Aggies' only run.
Ferguson Batted Hard.
Ferguson twirled well at times. but
when hits meant runs. he could not stop
the Parkview batsmen. He famed seven.
which was two more than did Mcfarland.
O'Neil had a busy day Of il at short.
having thirteen chances, eleven OF which
were accepted. Nau and Gallagher led
with the willow. With two hits apiece.
Nau also played well at second.
