BIG MONEY NEEDED TO SWING
DEAL FOR CLEVELAND INDIANS
Half Million Dollars Necessary to Put
New Men in Charge of Cleveland
American League Club.

his effect was made yesterday. Presi-
dent johnson stated that satisfactory
agreement had been reached at the
conference, and that some definite dec
laration would be made within a week
or ten days.
While our meeting was but prelimi-
nary" said Mr.. johnson last night, Il
can say that the Cleveland base ball
situation is going to be worked out to
the complete satisfaction of the Cleve-
land public
Mr.. Somers. the most interested of
all concerned. did not confer with Mr..
Johnson until late in the afternoon,
when the meeting practically was at
an end.
Il can truthfully say" said Mr.. Som
ers, that / do not know whether or
not the club will be sold. If it is sold,
all right"
Fans Desire Change.
While Mr.. Johnson was busily en-
gagged with Messrs. Steele and Cannon
Mr.. Bruce spent considerable time in
endeavoring to ascertain what the To-
cal sentiment was in regard to a trans
fer of the ownership of the Indians.
The consensus of opinion was that
Cleveland is ripe for change of own
ers, and his report is believed to have
Influenced those active in the confer
ence.
But even though it was agreed at the
conference that the club should be sold,
such action would have to be ratified
by the bankers committee, of which
John Sherwin of the First National
Bank is the chairman.
Referring to the possible strengthen
ing of the Cleveland club, Mr.. Johnson
said:
"A year ago. when the New York club
changed hands, the other clubs came
to the rescue and sold New York High,
Pipp and Bauman at nominal prices
Probably If there are any such availa-
BILE players that Cleveland should want
the other club owners will help out
lust as they did before. However, I am
not in a position to speak for them.
Still. it is my opinion that they would
be willing to help out Mr.. Somers, who
has done SO much for base ball."

CLEVELAND, December 9.-Charles
W. Somers will not be the owner of the
Cleveland American League club when
the season of 1916 opens. That was the
one conclusive decision reached last
night after Ban Johnson, president of
the American League, had held confer
ences with Owner Somers, John Z.
Bruce. secretary of the national COM
mission; A V. Cannon, attorney for Mr..
Somers. and representatives of the
bankers committee which now is in
control of Mr.. Somers' financial affairs.
L. c. Barrow, president of the Inter-
national League. who was reported as
representing eastern capital in the pur-
chase of the club, met with President
Johnson, but their conference. it was
stated. had nothing to do with the
Cleveland situation.
Reported prospective purchasers of
the club. for which the price is said to
be 100000, are Harry Stevens of New
York. James McGill, owner of the Den
yer western League) club and Indian
apolis american Association) club;
James r. McAleer, former part owner
of the Boston Americans. and local
capitalists. Three of the local capital
lists when interviewed last night said
they had no intention of buying. These
men are JdHleS SOTTlSdii, MI
Kinney, well known horsemen, and
Charles Otis, broker and former news
paper proprietor.
Local Ownership Desired.
President johnson intimated that he
and the men with whom he had con-
ferred were of the opinion that it
would be best for all interests that the
club be sold.
Efforts will be made to interest
Cleveland capital, as it always has
been the aim of the American League
to have all of its clubs owned by local
capital However, if Cleveland money
ed men decide not to purchase, Presi-
dent johnson. it Is believed, will meet
with no trouble in finding a buyer.

The Cleveland American Association
club also is involved. In fact, this club
has been a source of great expense to
Somers, for the reason that it had to
play away from home most OF the time
II any sort of deal is made whereby
the American League franchise Is dis
posed Of or retained, the association club
Is sure to be sold to Toledo interests,
where il is expected TO be much more
of a success than II has been at Cleve-
land for the past two years. The only
thing that ts necessary TO make the
club winner IN Toledo is TO have a
local ownership established there.
The calling off of the Gibbons Ahearn
fight. which was to have taken place
in St. Paul tomorrow night. is a bitter
disappoiutruent to followers OF the
pugilistic game. who expected this bout
10 be one of the cieverest exhibitions
staged il some time. But with Gibbons
on the verge of an attack OF pneutno-
mia, the fight is not apt TO take place
for some time for a fighter in train
ing when stricken with severe cold
usually requires a lot of time to recu-
perate.
There is so much fear shown by the
Federal League of being accused OF
;oIerating syndicate ball that there is
n strenuous rush on by those who are
interested in other clubs In the league
10 deny that they are putting UP any
money in the proposed invasion of Man
haitian Island. Sinclair. the owner of
the Newark club. is the latest to come
out with a denial with reference to his
having any money invested in the pro-
posed New York club. though he ad-
rnits he Is financially interested in the
Lenox avenue site, which the league
hopes to use for its new park.
But there will be nothing new in the
backing of Federal League club by
other owners. This has been going on
in the Gilmore circuit ever since its
existence The late Robert Ward backed
several clubs to keep the league going.
and while there may be no noise made
about the backing Of the New York
club 1t Is a safe guess that those men,
bers of the Federal League who have
money tied up in other clubs also will
want piece of the New York VEN
