Ban johnson Is the Biggest Figure
in Baseball Politics.

.
Through all the nasty mess that
has resulted in the ousting of Charles
Webb Murphy from baseball, one fig
ure stands out, dominating the whole
situation.
Ban Johnson is the name of said
figure.
A big man in his own league before
the Murphy controversy arose, John
son now looms up as the most power
full figure in organized baseball.
Directly after Evers was fired,
Johnson gave out an ultimatum that
Murphy must go. He declared that he
had power in his own league to de-
pose any president whose actions
were menace to success of the cir
cult, and, though he never referred
toAthe elimination of James McAleer
and Robert Mercy from the Boston
Red Sox control, every one remem-
bered that case and knew that the
words Of the A. L. boss were not mere
wind.
He intimated that if the National
did not grant President Tener the
same arbitrary power, then the Amer
lean would not be very strenuous in
its battle against the Feds, so long as
the new league did not encroach on
American rights.
The result was last Saturdays
meeting in Cincinnati, at which Muir
ply was showed aside without fuss
or ceremony.
With the Murphy case settled, po-
htical baseball will not hold such a
large place in the days news, and the
players, the real interesting guys of
the big game, will hold the center of
the stage. For which much thanks.
Murphy is taking his beheading
calmly and philosophically and says
he is satisfied with the eight years he
put in as club owner. In the future
he will be fan and promises to bawI
out umpires, players and club owners
