Johnson had out of the 700 or 500 secured
by the national commission in Philadel-
phia, but l do know that Mr.. Heydler. sec
rotary of the National League, reports
that he had 225 tickets for the series in
New York This is the only fact that
have been able to develop capable of
being. substantiated that accounts for the
possession of tickets by scalpers.
IF the commission has sufficient infor-
nation to establish the guilt of any in
Gividual connected with the New YORK
club | an as anxious as any one to know
who it is that is involved. If the commits
sion has nothing but unsupported hear

exonerate the club and it's officials and
censure the individual who made it,
To President Johnson the American

sratulations of the leagues and its thanks

Umpire Sheridan a medal of honor for
past services and placed him upon the
pension list.
Purely routine matters were discussed
and transacted. it was given out by the
directors, whose meeting preceded the

National League, which adjourned with
out election of officers until today. as a
mark of respect to Stanley Robson of
st. Louis, William E. Russell of Boston
and Frank Elliot of Philadelphia, who
