National League
Meeting Called
Here Saturday
D

The National League will hold a spe-
cial meeting at the League Headquar-
ters in this city Saturday morning at
10 o'clock. President Tener so notified
the various club owners last night, and
it is expected that all the cities on the
circuit will be represented at the con-
clave.
In direct contrast to the action taken
by the parent baseball organization, the
officials of the American League are
still squabbling over the edict issued
by Byron Ban johnson to the effect
thai in his opinion the American
League season should close on August
20 so as to allow the world series to
be competed by September in accord
ance with the ruling of Secretary of
War Baker.
Harry Frazee, the owner of the lead
ing Red SoX, said last night that he
did not approve of the Johnson stand
and would oppose the idea to the last.
Frazee naturally has more at stake
than the other club owners. His team
has fine chance to win the pennant
world series that will appeal to the
fans. even though it is impossible to
expect the public to display the inter-
est of former years in the big clash.
In the opinion of Frazee a world
series could be played before Septem-
ber 10, and the suggestion that major
portion of the receipts be given to
worthy war charities meets with his
earnest approval.
President Charles A. Comiskey of
the Chicago American League Club
also takes a determined attitude in op-
position to the plan of Johnson to end
the season on August 20.
Il think we should continue to play
until September I, the date set by Sec
lretary Baker for the suspension of
baseban." President Comiskey said
I'VE are drawing the largest crowds in
the East in several years and we should
give that section of the country it's
share of the schedule as originally
mapped out"
Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash
lngton Senators, joins with Comiskey
in assailing the Johnson viewpoint. He
does not think it necessary to curtail
the season. Griffith has done magni-
fcent work with his "Bat and Ball
Fund for the men in the service, and
if the American League does get to-
gether to decide on a course of action
Grff's words should carry much weight.
Frank Navin, president Of the De-
troit club, is the only American League
magnate to agree with johnson in so
far as their attitude has been made
public
