STAND BY JOHNSON
Comiskey Says Ban Had Moth.
ing to Do With Resolution.

CHICAGO. December 19.-President
Charles Comiskey Of the Chicago Amer
lean League club at a dinner party given
in his honor last night threw considerable
light on the resolution adopted at the
American League meeting In New York
relative to cutting or Official inter-
course with the National League, except
as necessary to keep the peace agreement
Comiskey gave President Ban johnson a
clean bill Of health SO far as the proposal
of the resolution was concerned.
Mr. Johnson had nothing to do with
that resolution" he said, land therefore
could not have proposed 1t to divert at
tention from the ticket scandal as some
Of his critics have sa'd. / was one OF the
men behind the resolution.
and will not stand for criticism from out
siders. He Is q clean sportsman.
THE American League wants to keep
its part Of the peace agreement and can
do so only with the National League as o
President August Hermann Of the ma
ticnal base ball commission has pre-
vented for the time the publication OF
evidence regarding the worlds series
ticket scaiping scandal, which Ban b.
johnson. head OF the American League,
aims to have In his possession.
The controversy between johnson and
President John T. Brush OF the New
York National League club waxed %
warm that johnson threatened to give
the Facts" with names and other evi-
dence, regarding the behavior OF the
New York club officers to the public to-
day.
a telegram from Hermann to the
American League magnate last night
changed the program Of the latter. The
coup Of the national commissions head
has had the effect Of putting a complete
stop to the turmoil for the present. al
Ear, at least. as Johnson IL concerned.

At the University of Pennsylvania relay

Honus and Miller percolated into New

Half day was spent in trying to devise
a scheme whereby a meeting could be ar
ranged.

Miller.

"Send a messenger boy over to Clarke S

That failed to fetch, too: and after CIV

Wagner wrote a telegram, handed it to
the operator at their hotel, the Park, and
sat him down to wait.
The wire was successful; Clarke re-

The Park Hotel is at 4th avenue and 33d

to travel. Honus paid full rates.

The Georgetown track management

and only Capt. Carrigan and Bob Ell

gan will run in all the sprints, while
Eller will run in the hurdles and

running in good form. much better
than might ordinarily be expected. con-
sidering only the short time they have
been in training.
Carrigan stands a good chance to win
at least a place In the sprints. as he is
running just as we'll now as when he
won, the two races at Convention Hall
last season in the Georgetown meet. He
is getting OF his mark much faster tn. n
