bean BALL.
Ban Johnson Would Suspend Man
ager Who Commands Pitcher
to Use It.

CHICAGO, May 23.-.1f an American
League base ball manager orders his
pitchers to hurl bean BALI I'll fine
him and suspend him for thirty days
He deserves a jail sentence" said Ban
Johnson, president Of the American
League.
This statement was made by the
cussion of the -Phillies episode
over the "bean ball." in which Manager
Mitchell was quoted as ordering his
pitchers to retaliate on the Phillies by
flinging this dangerous delivery.
Every effort would be made to give
the managers a chance to deny the
story" explained President Johnson,
but If he persisted in his orders to his
men to hurl the bean BALI l would i'm
pose the sentence. There is no justifi-
cation for such orders.
There is q standing rule on the sub
ject of the bean BALI in the American
League. Managers are given explicit
orders to prevent their pitchers from
using the delivery. If a pitcher were
caught deliberately using the bean
bali in the American League he would
bali Is brutal. A hatsman might lose
his life by being beaned with fast
one"
isn't 1t generally believed in the
American League. at least by players,
that Carl Mays of the Boston club re-
sorts repeatedly to the bean ball@ "
was asked.
"There is no proof that Mays is using
the bean bali" replied President john
son.
,Tf had proof that Mays or any
other pitcher in the league was using
the bean BALI I'd expel him from the
league"

CHICAGO. May 23.-Club owners of
the American Association will meet here
next Saturday to approve or reject
President Hickeys action in calling of
the intersectional series with the Inter-
national League.
The meeting was called by President
Hickey last night after he apparently

Informal conferences with several of
the club owners. There has been strong
opposition from three of the club own
ers to President Hickey's move in can
ceiling the series. James C. McGill, pres
ident of the indianapolis club: o. H.
Wathen of Louisville and Roger Bres-
nahan of Toledo are demanding that
the series be played
Hickey advised Edward g. Barrow,
president of the International League,
that Ave of the American Association
clubs-Milwaukee. Kansas City, Minne-
apolis. st. Paul and Columbus-had
agreed to call OFF the series. AS only a
majority vote is required, there Is every
evidence that Hickey's action will be
approved.
President Hickey made public a tele-
gram from President Barrow in which
Barrow was quoted as saying that
there is no intention on the part of
my league or myself to place the blame
on you or your association should the
series be called Off" President Bar.

the American Association clubs voted
to call off the games he would agree to

Chicago this morning after very
pleasant time spent by all at tho old
home Of the Washington leader.
The weather here Is clear, but quito
cold. and 1t goes without saying that

going at top speed recently. and should
the Griffmen be able to make $3.50

Manager Griffith said he would let
Jim Shaw or Harry Harper take the
first shot at the Rowland aggregation

probably try to puzzle the Washington
