BAN PAYS WARD
President of American League
Talked Himself Out of $1,000. ;
National League Prepares to
Try Horace FOgel.

New York. Nov. 23.-Ban Johnson
president of the American League, has
settled the libel suit brought against
! him by John w. Ward. The case was
on the calendar of the United States
circuit court of appeals last Wednes-
day, on that day Johnson withdrew his
appeal and sent a check for $1,000, the
full amount of damages awarded in the
lower court, to Ward, who thereby re-
ceived complete vindication.
The suit grew out of Wards candi-
dacy for the office of president of the
National League, in December, 1910.
johnson, in a public statement, de-
clared that he would not stand for
Wards election, and would refuse to
sit with Ward as member of the ma
tional baseball commission. Johnson
explained his hostility by declaring
Ward was a trickster, in that he had
induced player George S. Davis to sign
with the Giants ten years ago, although
Davis was bound by a contract ap-
proved by Ward to accept an engage
ment with the Chicago White Sox.
Partially because of Johnson's oppo-
s1tion, Ward was unable to secure more
than four votes for election when the
National League convened. There was
a deadlock, the other half of the cir
cult supporting r. w. Brown, of Louis
vile. Thomas ]. Lynch then was of
Tered as a compromise candidate, and
the deadlock was broken. Ward
promptly instituted suit for $50 900
damages against Johnson. It was tried
before Justice Hand and a jury in the
federal court in this city a year ago
last spring, and Ward received a YER
dict of $1,000. Johnson's attorneys ap-
pealed and the case had been dragging
along ever since.
