to Baltimore. President johnson OF
the American League made this posi-
tive in a statement he made yester-
day. Baltimore, fifteen years ago,
owned a franchise in the American
League. but the club was a huge fall
ure. for which reason the franchise
was turned over to the promoters Of
the New York Americans.
Brooklyn IL Appealing.
While President johnson refused to
commit himself. It is understood that
the plan to move the Washington club
to Brooklyn somewhat appeals to
him. Baseball men who favor this
move have told johnson that Brook
Ign will support two hrst-class clubs

ule basis.
But the big obstacle in the way Of
this plan is the consent Of the Ma
tional League. II is barely possible
however. that II the American League
would agree to pay a high rental for
the use of Ebbets Field. while the
Robins were on the road. the consent
Of Messrs. Ebbets and McKeever
might be obtained.

Yet in the event of securing Col
onel Ebbett's sanction, 1t still would
be necessary to procure the unani-
nous approval of the other National
League club owners. From an Amert-
can League standpoint, Brooklyn
would be a source Of greater patron
age than Washington.
Furthermore. the Yankees would
have a natural rival on the other side
OF the East river, which would make
possible a local series that would
arouse as much interest as the battles
between the Robins and Giants.
Ebbets Field is well adapted for
the use of the diamond by two major

Middle Atlantic Officials Dubious

Playing golf just to be playing golf

will be awarded ana no title is to be

BOB THAYER'S GOSSIP
ON SPORTING MATTERS

Pennsylvania now faces trouble. A
baseball player, struck by a pitched
ball, has died. A boxer, struck by
blows Of an opponent, has died. The
pitcher who hit the baseball player
has not been arrested. but the boxer,
with his seconds and the referee, have
been lodged in the hoose-gow. Which
Is always the way. More players are
killed in baseball every year than in
any other sport, but let q football
player or q boxer pay the ultimate
penalty for his love of sport and a
roar goes up to the heavens. It will
be interesting to see just what hap
pens in Pennsylvania.
Doubtless many a Dixie veteran will
see his first major league baseball
game here tomorrow. for the South
boasts no big league cities and a ma
jority OF the veterans attending the
convention here travel northward but

While Yale and Harvard threatens
to do away with all intercollegiate
sport next fall, II is apparent that
most American colleges are to con-
tinue all their athletic programs, be-
