BAN JOHNSON OPPOSES
NTERLEAGUE GAMES
American League Will Suggest Can

Series Games.
Series Games

New York, Dec 4-Interleague spring
exhibition games in major league cities
will be vetoed If the radical element is
able to sway the sentiment of the Ma
tional League in annual meeting here
next week Because Of the somewhat
apparent lack Of interest owing to the
Federal enterprise last season, Ban John
son took the stand that the public was
getting too much baseball. He argued
that the edge was taken OF the annual
openings by early games, which did not
scale financially to regular-scheduled con-
tests and that a very few of the ante
season city championships paid. The
smaller cities, with representation in only
one major league, suffered directly as a
consequence.
Johnson made this point so strong at the
annual meeting of the American League
in Chicago that the club presidents Of
his circuit promised to do all in their
power to restore all the old-fashioned
enthusiasm that attended the official
openings of the major leagues. OF course,
it will be necessary for the National
League club presidents to act in con-
junction with them. In the last sew
eral years it has been customary for the
rivals of Philadelphia, Chicago, St Louis,
and in this city the New York Americans
and Brooklyn Nationals to complete their
training in an interleague series. In
many instances contracts have been sign
ed for definite periods. These, of course,
may not be repUdiated without mutual
consent

the communications OF the two Ambassa-
