that no more prizes or bonuses VIII be per-

Chicago, Oct 10.-President B. b. Johnson
of the American League announced to-day
that no more prizes would be offered or
permitted while he continued at the head
of that baseball organization.
Mr.. Johnson said that he had taken TINS
position as a result of the Lajoie incident.
He also said that he was making an In
