Red Sox are in good keeping.
But what makes me mad as nor
net concluded Murray, was that the
newcomers have not been afforded bet
ter protection By the man that SOLO
them the club. He permitted II 10 ap-
pear that there might be some question
as to the advisability OF the American
League accepting them. That's my
only kick. And | hope you can put II
up strong for the benefit Of the pubic
and your friend Ban Johnson. Ban -
going TO find Ward real pal. why
delay their getting together?
Touch of High Life
Frazee and Ward were at home again
yesterday afternoon. They got their
first touch of high life from the stand
point of magnates in some few hundred
nut" letters. The correspondents who
didn't long for the job of business
manager volunteered their services as
manager. in case Carrigan cannot be
weaned back.
81 begin TO see" declared Frazee.
"where baseball and the stage will mix
no better than oil and water. So |

Certainly ! shall close out my New
York interests in the histrionic art II
/ can realize what | consider a fair
price. I've really enjoyed to-days cor

things so can get my moneys worth

1t appeals"
Frazee has no definite plans lie is
anxious TO get into touch with his new
colleagues, especially Ban Johnson: He
is sure that if any Misunderstanding
exist he can clear these up in n few
minutes talk.
ave meant no offence 10 any one in
our negotiations" said both Frazee
and Ward. "And since we have bouch:
the Red Sox we are tickled to death
we are associated with a league that
furnishes real protection to its mem
bers. We wouldn't think half so well
of our bargain if every Tom, Dick and
Harry could jimmy his way in by the
force of money alone"
Messrs. Frazee and Ward will make
Herculean efforts TO win back Bill
Carrigan for the season Of 1917 II
Carrigan returns the destinies OF the
club will be placed directly in his
hands. Whoever is manager will find
himself in absolute charge. He will

be held responsible. Frazee and Ward
is a combination that looks at tirst
sight Just such an one as the Rupert
Huston combine in this city. They
are tenderfeet. But nobody is going
TO trade them a brick watch for a bot
tie Of pop.
A story came out Of Chicago yester-
day quoting a morning newspaper TO
the effect that several major league
magnates had decided to offer the Ma
tional Commission Craftsmanship 10
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands; pro-
vided. of course, that the position was
vacated by August Hermann. The
attitude Of lands on the subject was
not quoted.
It was in the court Of Judge Lands
that the Federal League brought its
celebrated antitrust suit against or
ganized baseball. This suit hung fire
for almost a year. 1t was withdrawn
by the outlaws as one Of the peace
agreements when the warning factions
got together a little less than a year
ago. 1t was this same judge who on
one occasion fined the Standard OIL
Company S29,000.000
Judge Landis's well known admira-
ton Of the national game is given as
the reason for the suggestion OF his
name in connection with a place on
the commission.
