AMERICAN MOGULS
PEEvED At BAN
Say They Will No Longer Abide
by "Czar'S" UkaSeS.
BY Briggs

Cleveland, Aug. 5.-BefOre leaving
ing following the meetings of the
American League and the National
Commission, Harry Frazee of Boston,
Charles Comiskey of Chicago and
Clark Griffith of Washington issued
q declaration of independence as re-
CARDS the bOSSing of the American
League by Ban Johnson. Several
other owners are understood to coin
eide in the opinion of the three men,
toned. The declaration was prompted
by the action of Johnson in warning
the owners to shut down all baseball
activities by September 1, as ordered
by Secretary of War Baker.
When asked last night how it was
that the American League decided to
play its scheduled games until Sep
tember 2 in face of his advance pre-
diction that the league would close
on August 90 Johnson said:
"If the club owners wish to take a
chance with the Government that IS
their business"
That statement met the disapproval
of Frazee, Comiskey and Griffith and
they issued the following statement:
Johnson that we are taking a chance
of continuing the season, inferrtng we
were defying the War Department. is
an unwarrantcd misstatemenr of
facts. We have no wish to antago-
nza the War Department for which
we have the greatest respect
Just why President Johnson should
take the stand he did in this matter
is beyond our comprehension. We
believe he always has acted honestlv
in the interests of the American
League, but he has bungled the af
fairs of his league III this case He
has tried 70 close our gates several
times this season, but from now ON
he is through spending our money
"Thc club owners are going to rn,
the American Lea que in the fnturo
We criticise Mr.. Johnson merely as
an official. We have nothing against
him personally, but from now on wa
intend to take a hand in the MANAGE
ment of the league. His rule or ruin,
Policy is shelyed.
