CLEVELAND, o., May 16. Reply.
Ing to Colonel Roosevelt's claim Of
522 delegates already selected to the
Chicago convention, President Taft
today gave out the following:
only 1873 delegates to the Chicago
convention remain to be chosen II
Mr. Roosevelt were to get all Of them,
yet he could not be nominated. Care
fully prepared figures show that only
300 delegates thus far are instructed
for or pledged to him and the talk of
real and genuine contests against
delegates who are instructed for me
is as ansustained by the facts as many
of the misleading issues which have
been infected into this campaign.
"The number of Taft delegates thus
far chosen, not counting the eight
from Montana and number from
Texas and Arkansas, which will be
elected today, is $40, and the vote in
Ohio. my home state. much to my

CUTS LOOSE FROM

BAN JOHNSON ISSUES, A CALL
FOR THE AMERICAN LEAGUE
TO MEET IN CHICAGO Next
MONTH-LITTLE FRIENDSHIP BE-
TWEEN TWO LEAGUES.

Chicago, Nov. 27-AIthough the feel
ing between the American and National
leagues is not warlike by any means,
1t is evident there is little friendship
between the two major baseball or
CARNATIONS. By calling the meeting
of the American league in Chicago for
next month, President Johnson has en-
phasized the declaration made by his
league last fall that the American
league would have as little to do with
the National league as possible.
A real scare was thrown into the
Of the meeting of the two leagues in
New York last fall when the Ameri-
can league came out in its
ment that the cordial relations that
had existed between the two leagues
in the past would not be continued
in the future.
1t has been the custom of the two
leagues to hold their annual sessions
together every fall since the two or
CARNATIONS buried the Ratchet after
For the last five years the leagues
met at the same time and acted in
unison on all matters of interest tt
the game: The fans were glad tc
see the friendly relations for it wa.
a good thing for the game after the
bitterness of the war days.
The declaration given out by Bar
Johnson, therefore, at the New York
derclap put of a clear sky. There
had been a little pickering talk be-
tween some of the magnates of the
two leagues, but no one had even
suspected that it was serious enough
to cause a breaking off of he cor
dial feeling between the two leagues.
The American league has kept its
word in the matter. No business has
been transacted with the National
league more than was necessary ia
live up to the requirements of the
of the national agreement, 49,
