to call it "Naps" and the name stuck

Then there came the trouble The
Blues slumped and slumped. Finally, IN
sheer protection Charlie Somers
had to pick another manager, who
turned out to be another player--Joe

LEAGUE CIRCULATING
Possibility Of Opposition To
American League Seen In
Mays Incident.

New York, Aug. 30.-(United Press)
over Carl Mays, when the
Yankee pitcher was suspended by Ban
johnson and then taken into court
through the action of his employers
when they asked an injunction against
johnson, serves to bring strongly to
mind the fact that the major league cir
cults have been on the verge Of severe
shakeups several times within the last
few years. There have been plenty of
rumors to the effect that the case of
Mays would end in split that would
carry the Boston, New York and Chi
|cago clubs out of the league and into a
new organization that would carr,
enough weight to smash the American
league.
If there is any foundation for such a
surmise it hasn' I yet developed, but it
Is a, fact that the question was given
consideration.
Some years ago there were attempts
to prove that ST. Louis was not large
enough to support two baseball clubs.
and efforts were made to have its fran
chise transferred to Kansas Citv OF
Milwaukee. Only brief time ago there
was an effort to transfer the Washing.
ton franchise to Toronto, which was ali
| set to bid for the American league club
Baltimore has tried many times to Gel
|back into baseball as a major league
city, and has been prevented only by
the fact that it never has shown itself
equal to the task of caring for bis
league club.
/ NOW there are reports that Cincinnati
VIII be made to house new club. an6
that Toledo and indianapolis have beer
given consideration. These report,
hinge on the possibility Of split in th,
American, with the necessity for new
cities to replace those shuffled off b,
the revolving clubowners.
SO far as can be learned nothipp def
mite has been done. The reealeitrsn,
ones would much prefer to decapitate
Ban johnson and go on their peaceful
way with new president who would
not act quite so much like a czar.
1t has been contended that Detroii
and Philadelphia would fall over them
selves getting into the new outfit should
the triumvirate of powerful clubs de-
eide to break away.
