Ban Johnson Digs Up New
Owners for Sixth City Amer
lean League Franchise.
OTHER SPORT GOSSIP
By William PEET.

That President Ban johnson, of the
American League has not been asleep
the past two weeks and has dug up a
LHancier or so to buy the Cleveland
club. which organization will continue
TO do business as in the past, is shown
by the following dispatch from Chi
cago. which reads:
Chicago. Feb. 15.-The Cleveland
American League Baseball Club has
been sold. That much was practi-
calIy admitted by President Ban
johnson, Of the American League this
afternoon. However, according to
johnson, the official announcement
Is not yet ready and when it Is made
it must come from Cleveland.
The American League leader re-
fuses to say whether Cleveland, Chi
Cago or other capital has swung the
Indian sale. But he proudly admits
that everything is satisfactory and
Cleveland is looking for a banner sea-
son in the American League.
johnson says the officials will be
named Immediately after the American
League meeting in New York Thurs
day. He will stop over in Cleveland
en- route from New York and the sale
Of the Indians will officially be an
nOunced from Cleveland.
When it comes to digging up angels"
for the American League you've got to
tip your hat TO Ban Johnson.
1t was Johnson who canned" Frank
Farrell in New York last year and sub
stituted Messrs. Huston and Rupert to
finance the Yankees, this pair making
good the first year and further demon
stratinS their willingness to put a first
class team in the field by spending a
small sized fortune for ball players.
Jim Gilmore. the president OF the
defunct Federal League, may have
been classed as a wonder in obtain
hope, but when II comes to digging
up real angels" commend us to Ban
Johnson.
The names of the new owner or
owners of the Cleveland club are nor
as yet known to the public, but when
the showdown comes. the betting is
10 to l that a real live wire is at the
helm. Just wait and see.
The acquisition Of Frank Baker the
home-run slugger, formerly of the
Athletics, to the ranks OF the New
York Americans, just about puts that
club in the race for the pennant
Frank Baker and Lee Magee will add
just about the necessary hitting
strength the Yanks lacked last year
to make them contenders for the flag.
ana IN addlIon TO Ray Caldwell, Nick
Cullup. a dependable left-hand pitcher,
has been signed.
Keep your eye on the New Workers
during the coming season.
The signing of Chief Bender by the
PhiIlies brought forth the following
from Eddie Ainsmirn, the Nationals
catcher. who is here to start training:
Il saw Bender last summer, and he
told me that he could not make good
in the Federal League for several rea-
sons, principally because the ball USED
by the league was heavier than the
one he had been accustomed to pitch
ing. Bender declared that he could
not curve the Fed League horse hide
with any efficiency.
Il believe that the PhillIes have
grabbed a pitcher who will win a lot
Of games for them next summer. To
my way of thinking. Bender is far
from being all in"
