Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, December 15.-American
League magnates put through an un-
usual amount of business in two ses-
sions yesterday. The meeting was a
decided contrast to the ong-drawn-out
affair of the National League in New
York this week.
Everything went through smoothly.
as is usually the case in the Johnson
circuit The routine business took up
the usual amount of time, and the un-
usual matters that were brought up for
consideration were given prompt at
tention and referred to the proper
place for future consideration. The
two committees from the minors were
given respectable hearing in the first
session of the league in the afternoon
and then referred to President Ban
johnson for final adjustment.
This means that Ban will take up the
questions of abolishing the draft for
the class AA leagues with the proper
authorities from the National League
and inform the minors later on OF the
decision.
Baum, Barrows and Hickey. the three
heads of the class AA leagues. who were
members of the committee to call on
the American leaguers, had their hear
ing the first thing in the afternoon,
soon after the league went into session:
There was no discussion on the appeal
of the committee. but vote was taken
at once on what, was to be done. 1T
was decided that the matter be left in
President Johnson's hands. Then came
the committee from the National Asso-
citation. consisting of Ewing, ONeiH
and Justice. for new board of arbi-
tration of five men to consider the af-
fairs of the minor leagues. The queS-
tion was treated in just the same way
that the draft question was, and john
son was given full power to act.
The board of directors of the Amer
lean League. consisting of Navin, Shbe.
Minor and Ball. met with Ban Johnson
in his office in the Fisher building be-
fore the league went into session.

much to every ones surprise. Charley
Comiskey was elected vice president OF
the league to succeed Charlie Somers,
and Frank Navin was named to succeed
Bob Hedges as member of the finance
committee.
The books of the league were audited
and the other routine affairs passed on
favorably and then the league went
soon after o'clock The two com
mittees of the minor leagues were
heard and their cases disposed or ne.
fore, that session was adjourned at +
o'clock The members of the league
felt that they wanted to finish their
work and get home as soon as possible,
so a night session was held. The meet
ing was one of the best attended of
any league gathering for years
Many minor league managers were
on hand to pick up players that might
be offered for sale or trade, but no
deals were announced. Several trades
were rumored, but nothing definite
was decided on.
The Washington club was named in
one deal. Eddie Foster is wanted by
the Browns in return for Eddie Plank.
Branch Hickey of the St. Louis club
was the busiest man in the meeting.
From all accounts he had deal on
with the New York club for Fred Mai
sci also. He is seeking a third base
man IN pace or Jimmy Austin, ana
MaiSel and Foster will suit him If he
can get either one of them. The White
Sox were named in another trade for
an infielder.
McMullen for Fred Maisel was the
deal talked about, but Manager Row
land said that he had not been con-
suited by any of the promoters of the
deal. so he could not vouch for it.
Jack Hendricks and Jimmy McGil1 were
on hand looking for talent for the In
dianapolis team. but announced that
they could find no one willing to talk
to them. Frazee and Ward. the new
owners of the Red Sox, were taken
into the league without trouble. al
though there had been talk before
hand that there was to be opposition.
The name of the next manager of the
champions was not disclosed, either.
Bill Carrigan is the man they want,
and they are not willing to admit de-
feat as yet.

BY ]. ED GRILLO.

Comiskey is willing to shift Jim
Scott, a pitcher. for Ray Chapman, the
Indians infielder. Perhaps "Commy"
would also give Wolfgang for Walter
Johnson That is about the equality of
the proposed trade.
There is, of course. no chance of Fohl
parting with Chapman. He is one of
the cleverest players in the American
League and would bring an enormous
sum if put on the open market.
Players of the Chapman type are not
easy to get, and when a club is fortu-
nate enough to have acquired such a
man, it would be foolish to let him get
into other hands. Chapman. of course,
would be a wonderful man, for the
White Sox. He would make the Chi
either league. but there is not pos
sible chance Of his getting Chapman
from the Cleveland club.
Jim Scott is pretty sure to regain his
former ability Until he made the seri-
out of condition he was one of the most
effective pitchers in either of the big
shows. "Commy" should be able to
make an advantageous trade for him.
but he is unlikely to get a player as
valuable as Chapman.
Fred Mitchell has been procured by
the Chicago Cubs and he will be Joe
TinkerS successor as manager of that
team. While it is true that Mitchell is
untried in the managerial world. he
nevertheless. has shown great wisdom
about the game, and those who know
contend that much of Stallings success
has been due to the fact that Mitchell
proved an able adviser
1t is certain that Mitchell, If given
complete charge of the Cubs, will make
a much better showing with that team
than did Joe Tinker, who was constant.
ly at loggerheads with his players, and
incidentally, did not take very gooe
care Of himself, SO as to be fit tt
handle team intelligently.
Weeghman was urged to make {
change by the other club owners Of the
