Ban Johnson comes out with the
crack that the National Commission
willrefuse to allow the Eastern League
and the American Association to be
promoted In class or to withdraw
peacefully from the minor league asso-
citation. Well. this great II am of
baseball has spoken again. A great in
justice is being lone these two big
minor leagues. If something is not
done to help these great. organizations

ing over the traces. We think they
will finally be compelled to anyway, as
they stand between the majors, who
want to keep them down, and the
minors, who a to outvote them 10
the association. The situation as 1t
now Is regarding the rights of the two
great minor leagues Is something to
laugh at, when one thinks of the great
American square deal.

Arthur Irwin says that he believes
that a fast man should be placed last
on the batting order to follow VI the
pitcher. A fast man should be placed
in every position, if possible, regard
less of last or first. Doesn't the lead

The Alemnadres Club. of Cuba, which
