SAN FRANCISCO, March H.
Ban Johnson, president of the
American league, who is here for
short visit, gave few of his
views on the national baseball sit,
uation today. He has been visitor
in this city for the past week, along
with Charles Comiskey and the
members of the White SoX team.
There is no syndicate baseball
in the American league" he re-
marked. "There has not been for
a good many years. In the Ma
tional league matters are a little
, different. The Philadelphia and
Chicago clubs are under the same
management AS for myself, | don't
believe in syndicate ball. In our
agreement, which Is to run 20
years, there is one section relating
to syndicate ball. 1t is absolutely
forbidden in the American league
and should not be tolerated in any
organization
When somebody interrupted with
remark that baseball was boom
ing in the big leagues, the speaker
dropped the subject of syndicate
ball and launched forth on a dis
| cussion of the growing interest in
the game.
There have been some wonder
full changes in baseball" said John
son. II think the strides made in
the sport in the last five years are
due to the manner In which games
have been conducted during the

BREAKS RECORD
AT BOWLING
TOURNAMENT
(By United Press Leased Wire)

DETROIT, Mich, March r.
William Richter, a member of the
Chalmers-Detroit team of Chicago,
bowling in the individual event of
the National Bowling tournament
here tonight, established a record
for the meeting with score of 692.
Not only does this establish a
record for American bowling tour
neys since Wengler of Chicago
rolled 500 in Cincinnati two years
ago, but it puts Richter far in the
lead in the individual events in this
tournament.
Richter rolled so early in the
evening that a comparative small
crowd saw his feat. When he came
off the alleys, he was given an
ovation. His scores were 225, PAP
and 225.
Glen Fisher of Chicago has led
the individual event for week
with a total of geo. He also led in
the nine game all events contest.
with 1923. He now goes to second
in the all events as well as the
individual. Richter's performance
was the only one on today's individ-

which is now as follows:

Bullivant hit the nail squarely on
the head when he made that re-
mark, for while the visitors may
not fear the judgment of the Off
Gals. when it comes to working
a man in two or three fast and
furious engagements on the same
night, the championship struggle
resolves itself into a question of
how many men the home club has
to use to Weir out the, dangerous
visitors.
Put one of the Spokane boxers
or wrestlers against the best in the
northwest and local fans would
wager much on the outcome, but
take that athlete and work him in
three bouts on the same night
which is necessitated by the linn
tied time allowed for the meet and

an inferior man is likely to be re-
