louisville. Ky, Nov. 12-CIark
Griffith. manager of the Washington
American League team. denied abso-
utely today that he had sold Walter
Johnson to Col. Rupert, of the New
York Americans.
Col. Rupert has not reached the
city yet for the meeting.
Two things have brought me to
this meeting" Clark Griffith declared
tonight. "One is to boost for the ball
and bat fund. and before 1 get
through ] intend to have every man
here working for it. and the other is
to bring the next meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Professional
Baseball to Louisville.
col. Rupert has approached me
about the sale of Johnson. but as 1
declared before the price is 10000 and
1 do not believe he will meet my fig
ure." Indications were tonight that
the new league to be formed from the
American Association and Internation-
al League clubs was a thing of the
past unless the National Association at

American Association
Against Third League

Louisville, KY, Nov. 12-The forma-
ton of the new Minor Union League
seemed more remote than ever at a
late hour tonight when the American
Association closed its first meeting,
preliminary to the session of the Ma
tional Association OF the professional
league tomorrow.
The Hickey faction. which inclhdes
Timme, of Milwaukee; Norton, of St.
Paul: Tinker, Columbus: Muelbach,
Kansas City. and Cantillon, Mime
apolis. issued n statement in which it
was stated positively that there would
be no new league.
Wathen, Louisville; McDin, Indian
apolis, and Bresnahan. Toledo, were
equally confident that their plans for
the new organization would go
through.
The American Association would
take the field in 1918 as in the past in
case Hickey resigned the presidency
of the circuit.
| The minority members Of the Asso-
citation would take their fight to the
floor Of the National Association and
petition for a redistricting of minor
league territory with the consent of
the Association.

High School machine will tackle the
Business High eleven today at the
Central High School stadium in the

YES! MAGICALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me a quarter of an ounce
Of freezone." This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops OF this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn should relieve the soreness
instantly, and soon the entire corn,
root and all, dries up and can be lifted
out with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that, while freezone is
sticky, 1t dries in a moment, and sim
ply shrivels up the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns,
but clip this out and make him try 1t.
