BAN JOHNSON SEEKS

After two Chicago papers had printed
an Interview with Ban Johnson in which
the American League president was
quoted as saying that there was forth
coming a big shakeup in the National
Commission. with a possibility OF the
d~ethronement Of Garry Hermann.
johnson a few hours later repudiated the
statement and qualified it. His latest
emarks we're:
II Just said that there was dissatis-
faction among American League club
owners as TO the preponderance OF Ma
tional League men on the commission

a year z johnson announced that
he would not vote for the reelection II
Hermann as chairman Of the commits
sion. The annual meeting OF 'i.e or
gan'zation also was postponed from time
to time, presumably to allow johnson
to cool of. When the meeting finally
was held johnson quietly voted for
Hermann.

elected annually by the presidents of

that Tener and johnson must agree,

ITHACA. n. Y. Nov. 1.-The Cornell
coaches continued to pound football rudi-

Harvard game lessons proving that the
team still is undeveloped In his regard.
A short scrimmage was won by the
varsity, which scored n touchdown.
Shiverick, Cornell's quarterback, Is suf-
fering from a leg injury. while Gillies's
foot Is so badly hurt that he may not be
able to play OF Saturday. Benedict, left
h~alfback, was replaced again to-day by
Speed and may not get into the lineup
Saturday. According to reports on the
campus he is likely to DO replaced per-
manently by Bretz when the latter re-
turns to the game pext Monday.
Tilley and Bar working on the second
team at guards looked better than the
varsity pair to-day. Eckly and Ryerson
played ends. n Ryerson seems destined
to win the position.
