JOHNSON CALLS

johnson is Certain.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-That a worlds
series between the pennant win
ners of the American and National
leagues will be completed before
Sept. /, or else will not be played
at all, was the firm belief of Pres
ident johnson of the former or
ganization last night before he de-
parted for Cleveland to attend q
meeting of his club owners today,
as we'll as a meeting OF the ma
tiOnal commission.
The American league boss was
accompanied by President Dunn OF
the Cleveland club, who declared
himself in favor of such a plan,
and by President Comiskey of the
White Sox, who still expressed fav-
or toward continuing regular sea-
son until Labor day Johnson
stated that six of his club owners
had expressed themselves in favor
toward closing the season about
Aug. 20.
Indications are there will be
stormy session of magnates in the
Forest city for National league
men are to be there, apparently in
structed to stand firm for Sept. !
or as closing day and in favor of
playing a worlds series after that
time.
AS there seems to be a difference
of opinion on the matter, it should
not be surprising if the thing ends
in a petty squabble and the can
collation. entirely of the world S
series.
Il believe the ruling of Secretary
of War Baker should be observed
to the letter." said Johnson. He
stated plainly that ball players of
draft age would be given until
Sept l to get into essential en-
plOyment. l don't believe the
players themselves would care TO
play ball after that date

to the date named for closing. The
matter, however, is up to the club
owners, who have to pay the

Owner Comiskey of the Sox

RACE TO SURPASS ALL.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 3.-All
events for the second Grand circuit
meeting TO be held at North Ran
dali beginning Aug. 8, have been
filled and predictions are made that
the meeting will surpass the one
held in July, which was the most
successful in the history of harness
racing here.
Two hundred and fifty horses are
entered in the 81 races listed. PTac-
tically all the winners in the Grand
circuit meetings already held are
named TO start. In addition many
of the best Of the half milers are
entered.
The free-for-all pace, after the
sensational time made at Toledo re-
Gently and the Plain Dealer 2.07
trot will be the leading attractions.
Don Earl will make his initial
OF the year in the free
for-all pace, in which he will meet
Single G., Miss Harris M, William
and Russell Boy. With the excep-
ton of Directum I, which also is
carded to start, the quintet is the
fastest in training and horsemen
are of the opinion that new records
