By WILLIAM PEET.

Ban johnson, American League presi-
dent, gave out an interview in New 4Otk
Yesterday that throws an entirely new
light on the live and let live" policy
recently announced by President Gilmore.
of the Federal League.
IF Gilmore was sincere vOuchsafes
johnson. I'VE might consider his policy
We would al any rate give the Federal
League president credit for brOadminded-
ness. But to me it sounds like a sop
to the press. II doesn't ring true"
Mr.. Gimoro's idea Of live and let
live will he better understood by the

il They said in substance:
We want orGaniz"d baseball restrained
from both'rinG tn" players We have
signed Up. and. At the same time. We
want to nc allowed to do as We like in
signing VI theirs.
That declared Ban Johnson. in a
bitter tom. lis what Gilmore considers
live AMI let live policy. Now you
understand what mean when ! say
that Gilmore words do not ring true.
