John X Tener yesterday afternoon az
the National League headquarters and

postponed annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Commission. This conference Will

Gated by long distance telephone, but
nc was consulted 10y telegraph and the
date and scene OF the consultation rests
with his convenience, Mr.. Hermann

empnatlcaiy that they irad 40 idea "f
shearing the commission chairman Of his
official dignity. Ever since peace he
tween the two major leagues was de-
clared the heads Of both have tried to

is quite likely that johnson and Toner

son he did not incur the anger Of the
organized powers because II was with
their permission that he accepted a
lucrative salary from the outlaws under

sutuents voted to restrict the beginning
