BAN JOHNSON PLANS
FIGHT AGAINST FEDS
American League Car Will
Attend Meeting Of Minor
Circuits.

CHICAGO, Oct. @.-Ban johnson,
president of the American League, who
arrived here yesterday from his annual
hunting trip into the wilds of Wiscon-
sin, will attend the annual minor league
meeting in Omaha, November 1912, as
q representative of the National Com
mission. Furthermore. Johnson will
lead the fight against the latest plan
of the minor leagues to take the Fed
eral League into the fold of organized
baseball.
President Justice, Of the Central
League. who is an officer Of the ma
tional board of arbitration, asserts that
the minors suffered heavy financial loss
this season. owing to the falling OFF in
drafts heretofore filed by the higher
leagues, and he attributes this slump
to the fact that the big fellows have
laid Off" fearing the Federals would
snap up the future greats of the ball
field. To Justices way of thinking, the
recognition of the outlaw organiza-
ton will be Of great benefit to the
clubs Of the A, B. c, and D cIassifica-
ton In putting the draft back on it's
old working basis.

COMMISSION SHOWS LIFE.
Asks for New Map of Kenosha in Order
to Consider Elevation Problem.

The railroad commission of Wiscon-
sin is showing new signs of life in con
nection with track elevation in Keno
sha and City Attorney John G. Slater
has received letter from the commits
sion asking that he forward to it at
once new map of the city of Keno
sha to be used in connection with the
making of the track elevation order.
The new map was rushed to Madison
with all speed. 1t is said that the
members of the commission have had
several meetings to consider the Keno
sha order and it is possible that it will
be issued before the end of the present
year. Officials of the railway company
are evidently anticipating the coming
of the order as they are already making
preparations for the work which they
plan to start in the spring of the new
year.

MUST LIVE UP TO FRANCHISES
Judge Fritz in Milwaukee Refuses TO
Make Permanent an Injunction to
Prevent the Officials of Small Towns
in the State Interfering.

The city of South Milwaukee yester-
day won at least temporary victory
in judge Fritz rs court, Milwaukee, in
the fight being made by the street rail
way company to inaugurate the skip
stop plan now in vogue in that city as
well as all other cities on the suburban
line. Judge Fritz denied the request
of the street railway company to make
the ten porary injunction permanent
and the case will now be taken to the
supreme court for final decision.
Some time ago the railway company
secured permission from the state rail
road rate commission to inaugurate the
skip-stop system on its line between
Kenosha and Milwaukee A large
number Of stops were discontinued in
every city and patrons of the through
cars were forced to walk many blocks
as a result. Later the company cut out
a larger number Of stops in the city of
South Milwaukee as well as at Cudahy
and points between those municipali-
ties. This resulted in the arrest of
several car crews in both cities and
these cases are still pending.
The railway company took the mat
ter into the court for relief as the car
crews were being arrested as fast as
they failed to make all stops in South
Milwaukee. In order to keep the traffic
open the company sought the protection
of the circuit court and temporary in
junction was secured. Judge Fritz now
dissolves this injunction. The only ac-
ton for the company now is to take
the matter before the supreme court.
The ruling Of the court in this case is
said to be on the ground that the fran
chise under which the company is oper-
ating in South Milwaukee provides for
stops at all crossings. The city of
fcials believed the skip-stop plan to be
a viola Ion of the franchise.
