SUPREME court
MAY BE Dissolve
Ban Johnson "Soured" on
Chairman Gary
Hermann
MOST VOTES

Despite the so-called authoritative
denials." 1t seems fairly certain that
the National Baseball Commission. in
its present form. will be dissolved
within the next y months.
Ban Johnson is said to have sour
ed" on Garry Hermann and grown
particularly upset over the fact that
the commission numbers two National
leaguers and only one American lea
guer Johnson is perfectly right in
this respect The commission should
have an equal representation Of both
bodies. and il an extra man we're
deemed necessary. he should be an
outsider. such as John II. Farrell.
secretary Of the National Association
Of Minor Leaguers.
Johnson it is said never has for
given Hermann for hob nobbing with
Federal leaders last summer He was
of the opinion that the Feds should
not be recognized that they should
be allowed TO die a natural death. "
From some sources comes the infor-
nation that Hermann went so far in
his negotiations with the Feds that
when peace proposition was put TO
johnson he could do nothing but ac-
cept the conditions. although in ac-
cepting. Johnson Is said to have de-
clared.
IL am going into this because there
are some folks who think il is for the
best interests OF the game My own
opinion concerning the matter is that
we should not agree to any sort of
pact with the Feds. We should let
them die. as they will die natur-
ally"
The present agreement Of the Ma
tional commission gives the National
league the actual power II has two
votes to Johnsons one. Therefore, il
will be seen that in a case where The
National league wanted one thing an'
the American the other. the former
would be in a position whore Il coul'
outvote the American within the com
mission.
The present makeup Of the Ma
tional commission never was objeC
tionable to Johnson until recently

DUNDEE GIVES
MURPHY lesson
New York Lightweight Beats
Local Fighter All the
Way at Olympia A.A.
WINNER GIVES GREAT
EXHIBITION OF BOXING

johnny Dundee won. There are
few boxing enthusiasts who attended
Olympia last night who would take
exception to this decision, not even
the most ardent admirers Of Jimmy
Murphy. for the lacing that the New
Yorker meted out TO the Philadel-
phla lightweight left little doubt as
to whom was the victor. With the
exception of the first round, there
was no holding of Dundee. He ca
vorted around Murphy with the quick
ness Of lightning. and every time he
would leap forward his left shot out
with terrific force to Murphy's jaw oi
body. He displayed a hearty respect
for Murphy's hitting powers and he
never allowed the West Philadelphia
an opportunity to get set.
Dundee's left shot across to Muir

from Murphys nose Il was always

sent this punch to Murpry's body there
was nobody home" and the blow in

NEW STAR ADDED TO FLAG

The fight is on. The real bat tie for statehood for Alaska has begun. Delegate Wickersham has app led the torch to a shot which wi. be heard around the world. It's echoes and vibrations will re- saund from shore to shore. A bill has been introduced in congress by lIr. Wickersham, which seeks to place Alaska on an equal par with other states in this union.
 His campaign in the interests of his oil has aroused widespread in tercSt. Many of the large Eastern papers are playing the introduction uu under large head lines and lengthy articles. Most of the western representatives and senat- ors have pledged their support of thc bill
 The introduction of the bill has double significance, as it was introduced upon the anniversary of the signing of the treaty for the purchase of Alaska from Russia. It is somewhat lengthy but very sDeci- fife and shows that it is the result { of a careful study of local condi-

ticns and comparison with other enabling acts and state govern mcujs.
 A brief synopsis will serve to convey the far reaching effects of is influence. Section No. 13 in each township is reserved for uni versailles, Section 23, is reserved for state buildings and charitable institutions,
 There is a reservation in each district of 100000 acres for forest purposes, leasing of Ill mineral lands to be held in trust for the state. not more than GAO acres to be leased to any one person. Five percent of the sale of all public lands is to be reserved for school fuus. It calls for grant of 400,- 0O0 acres for an agricultural col lcge, 3OO,OOO for a normal school, 100000 for a school of forestry.
 It is provided that the state shall be divided into two judicial divisions, Northern and South ern. Provision is made for the election of 49 dele gates l2 from each of the present divisions and one at largen for a constitutional state conven- ton.

Fl Paso, April 4-That Villa is not wounded is the substance of reports brought back to headquart- CTS by secretly instructed scouts, sent out for the express purpose, of locating Villa and tracing down the runner. He is enjoying the best of health and shows no signs of his conflict.
 He was seen at SateYo, a town abcu+ fifty miles south of Chihua~ hua, two days ago. satevo is on the main line of the Mexican rail read and is a junction for spur which runs to the westward. His presence in this locality has caused officials to order a thorough in spection of the track and all rail way equipment in that vicinity.
 His stay in satevo was very brief. He seemed to be rushed for time. Villa was accompanied by eight men, all were fully armed. They departed in a direction which lead inhabitants of the town to believe that they were headed for Parral.
 villas appearance in Satevo was somewhat of a surprise to army of ficials. This gives him a start that will be very hard to overcome, It uIaces a distance of sixty miles between him and the United States troops.
