TO DECIDE ON WORLDS SERIES
'sdent B. B. Johnson of American League Calls Meeting For Saturday at Cleveland Owners to Decide Pro- position Close Leagues on August 20 and Play Worlds Series Before September 1-NationaI B. B. Commission to Meet to Discuss Same Subject.

Chicago, July S1. - President Ban Johnson of the American League to- night called a special meeting of the organization to be held in Cleveland Saturday definitely to decide on the proposed early closing of the season and the staging of the worlds series prior to September 1, in compliance to Secretary Bakers work or fight order. There also will be q meeting of the National Baseball Commission in Cleveland at the same time.
 Although the club owners of the Ma tional League are scheduled to meet in special session in New York on Saturday, President Johnson was ad- vised by August Hermann, chairman of the National Commission, and own CT of the Cincinnati Nationals, that he would attend the Cleveland meeting instead and that two or three other National League clubs owners would accompany him.
 Six of Eight Clubs Favor Early Clos
 ing.
 President Johnson said he was strongly opposed to continuing base ball after September 1 as he believes to play after that date would be a di- rect violation of the war departments S orders. Six of the eight clubs in the American League, he said, have ap- proved his suggestion to close the championship season on or about Au- gust 20 nd then stage the worlds se- ries and exhibition games in the elev- en days remaining until the first ot September.
 Tt would be selfish to take advan- tage of Secretary Bakers order. This is no time to force recreation on the public when Americans are giving UT their lives on the battlefelds ot France" said the statement issued by Mir. Johnson today.
 Johnson Confident of Support of Own.
 The American League executive is confident his club owners will vott unanimously to close earlier than Sec. retary Baker stipulated.
 Clark Griffith, manager and par owner of the Washington club, ant Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the Chicago Americans, are the only clul owners opposed to the plan, Johnson said, and added that Ccmiskey hat agreed to cast his vote with the ma jority.
