These are the principal features Of
the arrangements perfected today at

which followed the next business on
the program.
Determined to abide by his declara.
ton that the Boston club should
handle the sale Of tickets in It's own
way, President Johnson Of the Amer
lean league, had come to the meeting
to fight it out, The discussion Of the
much disputed question in which Aug
ust Hermann took the stand that tho
National Commission should have au-
thorty over the sale Of tickets In
both cities and in which President
Lynch Is said to have sided with him,
was conducted behind closed doors
The American league president was
backed virtually by an utimatum in
the form Of a resolution adopted by
his league last winter, declaring never
again to engage in an nter-league
series unless its clubs were given con-
troll Of the ticket selling in It's own
territory.
On the strength of this determlna-
tion, Secretary McRoy Of the Boston
club early in July began plans for
handling the tickets by canvasslng
all the regular patrons Of the game
in whose hands he purposed to place
the much coveted worlds series ad-
mission cards.
What took place In the secret ses-
sion was not given out in detail, but
1t was apparent that President John
son had scored a victory for when

Heydler announced that Boston would

be carried out with the supervision
and approval Of the National commits.
