continued outbursts from n. ~ Johnson,
American League president. relative to
the statement Of John Mc,iraw apvcrtain-
ing TO the work OF the Giants agaiust 'hc
Superbas John X Tcuer National League
president. Yesterday threw down tho
gauntlet and declared open war against
he leader of the younger Organization.
Tcner gave out u short statcmcn. In
which he condemns the impromptu aud
continued ypeechmshing of Johnson and
advises Johnson to wash his own dirty
linen before attempting to cleanse that
~ the National League.
Tcner was inclined 10 overlook the
carly statements Of Johnson made during
the worlds series. on the ground that the
American League head was forced to rc-
mark on the incident Eut since John
son refuses to hold his peace and insists
upon returning to the Mc'iraw incident
upon every occasion. Tcrer thinks IL
about time to put the chicago heavy
weight in his position.
