Owner of Yankees Leaves
for Meeting, Ready for
Fight or Frolic.
By HAYWOOD BROUN.

Frank Farrell, owner Of the New
York Yankees, left here last night for
the American League meeting, which
will BIO held In Chicago on Friday. He
does not know what it Is all about, and
is ready for fight or a frolic. but ne
/ is wagering on a fight. And Mr.. Far
rel does well TO prepare himself for
warfare.
Unless Frank Farrell fights very hard
the Yankees will have new owner be-
fore he gets back TO New York. The
American League once before sought to
Gust an owner, but Colonel Hedges, Of
the st. Louis Browns, was not 70 be
dislodged Perhaps Farrell can re
main in the league, but 10 is pretty
certain By now that if he does 1t will
be only against the wishes OF seven
other owners.
The New York club of the American
League has been the subject Of great
deal Of dissatisfaction from the time
il was founded, for II has never lived
up 70 expectations as producer OF
revenue. The feeling has been prev
alent throughout the lcaRue thdL HIehI
possibilities are being thrown away IN
New York.
Although his intentions are the best
in the world, it IS the general opinion
Of the American League owners that
Frank Farrell has no keen grasp OF
ba3eball as d business. His voice has
never carried much weight in the coun-
ellis Of the organization, and, with the
execution Of one or two seasons, his
teams have not carried much weight on
the diamond.
The shift from manager 10 manager
has not helped to improve the popu-
larity of the club, particularly since
such able leaders as Clark Griffith and
George Stallings we're discharged. The
row with Chance hurt Farrell greatly
in the eyes of his associates as we'll as
in the eyes Of the fans. In particular,
