that he guided the young league we'll
through its early history and won a

Because of his craftsmanship in con-

bitterness and prejudices may have

the regime Of Johnson, upon the sur
face at least, has been one sweet dream
characteristic strife of the National
League. But of late years his solons
it is said, have resented Johnson's haste
in acting as mouthpiece on serious
topics without having consulted them.
Especially is this true Of last years
administration. Ban made several false
steps, it is averred. His proposal to
ask immunity for the ball players was
resented. Later hip flop in the other
direction-the idea of locking up the
ball parks until the end of the war
was equally restned. So was his propo-
sition for a major league invasion OF

Ban NOT 10 BE Ou6te0
Whether justly or unjustly, johnson
and Hermann between them generally
are credited with having organized
baseball put into disfavor with the Ad
ministration. 1t is felt judicious han
ding might have saved the game from
te work or fight" order.
There is no reason to believe that the
American League magnaies will go sc
far as to Dust their president or ever
suggest his resignation unless he re.
fuses to subscribe to limited powers
In short, his colleagues will ask only
that he subscribe to. approved presl-
dental powers and forego the auto
cratic. 1t is intended that Ban shall
share his voice of authority with duly
constituted committees.
1t was planned to keep this bloodless
revolution under cover till after the
annual meeting of the American
League in Chicago, SO as to infer that
the dictatorial policies had been fore.
sworn voluntarily by the American
League president. But baseball people
have a penchant for talking. Else how
could this story have leaked?

MistIetoe-kiss Custom.

One of the old mistletoe beliefs was
that originally the plant had itself

tree that the holy cross was made.
The mistletoe became popular with the
ancients of Europe. states a writer, be-
cause Ii was believed TO have the pow
er Of keeping away evil spirits. That
was the reason why men and women
hung 1t In their homes. And because so
many people hung II In their homes to
keep away evil spirits 1t came to stand
as symbol Of hospitality. Many eff
