it does not look as II the American
Leagues vote of confidence in Herr

than to cause Garry to take his med
iclne a rrihe easier
According to the agreement that
exists between the two major
leagues. Hermann cannot be forced

can League vote of confidence and
also that he served same sixteen years

court Of baseball.
Getting right down to facts, Herr
mann can be proud of such record
and mad he voted 20 award George Sis
ler to Pittsburgh instead of the St.
Louis Browns possibly his own league
never would have demanded his retire
ment There is no doubt that Pitts

that act, and when Barney Dreyfuss

Ban Johnson is more of a power in
the national game than he ever was be-
fore. A year ago he wanted the mag
mates to agree to a shorter schedule
for the 1918 season. They then de-
cllned. IheY came around TO his way
OF thinking at the meeting held in Chi
cago last week, adopting other econom-
ical measures. which, it is believed
were fathered by President Johnson
II was much gratified at the Chicago
session to have a certain club owner
say TO me that he was sorry that he
voted last August to have the season
run through Labor Day, saying it had
cost him a lot of money to make it
possible for Clark Griffith to get in a
couple Of Sunday games at home.
"The four Western clubs would have
been unit in voting for a suspension
of the season on August 22,' was his
assertion. There was nothing to be
gained by a continuance. President
Johnson was severely criticised for his
desire to close up early. Now we real
ize that he was right
"This was not the only remark made
to indicate that Johnson is a bigger
man in baseball than he was before
the war"
New-York tribune., 1918-12-25

THE action taken by the league ats
its rather brief business session was
another Endorsement. Even when
Clark Griffith sought to stir up strife
by making a motion that jim Dunn be
fined for not sending his Cleveland
team to st. Louis for the Labor Day
games, the Washington man failed TO
receive any support. Inasmuch as Dunn
acted on the advice of President john
son, any action taken to punish Dunn
would have been a slap at the league
executive"
We thank you, Mr.. Edwards, friend
Of Ban Johnson, for that honest con-
fession. You have supplied the missing
link. 1t has been known long that John
son dictated the policies Of the CleVe-
temerity to confess the fact. The stu
alton in Cleveland is a byword and
joke of organized baseball. Let the
Forest City blush to realize the fact.
But when Mr.. Johnson begins to
dictate policies, and to dictate them
contrary to the Interpretation Of base
ball law, as he interpreted the National
Commission ruling in reference 10
Scott Perry, then it is time for Mr..
johnson j to be put in his right stall.
And if Mr.. Johnson wishes anybody to
go to the mat with him on the Cleve-
land proposition he need not be dis
appointed in case his present op-
ponents fail to face the scratch at the
joint meeting here on January 16.
I The Cleveland argument is too ridi-
culous for consideration. Because the
personal interests of Mr.. Johnson hap
pen to be involved is no reason why
organized baseball should gloss over
one of the most unsportmanlike acts
in the history of sport. Charles A.
Comisky, of Chicago, happens to be
greater power in the American League
than the presumed Gar of all base
ball. Commy is going to the mat on
this point. If the Johnson clique think
they are going to play hush ably
baby" they are badly fooled.
But listen to the rest of the Cleve-
land chatter:

Way Clear Now
For Spring Sports
On South Field

South Field, Columbia University
playground and athletic field, will not
be returfed until the summer, so that
plans of the athletic association for a
general revival in all spring sports will
not be interfered with 1t was learned
yesterday that the department of build
ings and grounds of the university had
decided not to begin work on the reno
vation of the field until after COM
mencement day, in accordance with q
recommendation to that effect which
was adopted by the directors of the
athletic association last week.
1t will be possible. therefore, for
baseball, soccer and the other spring
sports to be played without hindrance,
and it is believed that in the time be-
tween June 4, when the university will
close for the summer, and September
%, when the fall term viii begin,
there will be ample time for the grow
ing of a new turf on the surface of the
field.
Through the last four seasons the
hard surface of the gridiron has been a
prolific source of injuries, especially to
1o0tDaI players, and 1T was not until
player was SO we'll padded that he was
almost unrecogniaable that he went on
the field with the feeling that he was
immune from injury.
In proposing that the field be re
turfed the university authorities sug-
gested that it be ploughed up now and
sowcd to grass in the spring. This
would have meant the elimination of
baseball and all the spring sports with
the exception of rowing, and the ath-
letic officials after considering the mat
ter decided that it would not be expedl-
ent to drop baseball or any sport for
year during the reconstruction period.
1t is probable that with the renova-
tion of the field the north grandstand
viii be erected for the 1919 football
season. This viii bring the seating
capacity of the field up close to 5000
1t is believed that with the renewed
interest in football at least this num-
bcr Of seats VIII be necessary to ac-
commodatc the crewds that are ex-
pected to be on hand at the games next
season.
Plans for the construction Of an out
door hockey rink on the field have been
held in allegiance because of the mild
weather.

Millrose A. A.
10 Hold Indoor
Games I'm March
Big Effort to Revive Ath-
letics--Stars Are Invited
to Compete i'm Events

The Millrose Athletic Association has
just been able to announce definitely
that 1t will hold its annual set Of in
ooor games as usual~-this time in
March instead of January. Conditions
after tho sudden termination of the
war made 1t impossible for the Mill
rose club to prepare its usual big ath-
letlc show in time for January. Nego-
tiauons have been under way between
the Millrose p A.. the Meadowbrook
Club, its sister organization in Phila-
dolphin, and the national championship
committee Of the Amateur Athletic
Union Of the United States, for staging
series of three big meets in March.
All three organizations are going to
combine their resources in an effort to
put amateur athletics back or the map.
The Mlllrose date will be in the week
starting March 8. 1t will be definitely
announced as soon as arrangements can
be completed with the management of
Madison Square Garden The Meadow
brooks date will be Saturday, March
l5, and the national championships
will probably be a week later
This tentative schedule has been
worked out between the three organi-
cations with the idea of securing the
country for every available athlete of
note so that those coming from a dis
tance may have the opportunity of
competing in each of the three big
meets.
1t is possible, too, that invitations
may be sent abroad to prominent ath-
letes in a further effort to stir IN
international competition.
