BAN WILL BE 1T"

There is considerable agitation going
the. rounds about a onc-man national
commission. The National league is
for It. while the American enters a
demurrer, being satisfied to let things
remain as they now are.
But in the event that the one-man
commission idea is adopted, it's not
very difficult to peer through the maze
and distinguish who WIN occupy the
big chair of one-mau commissioner.
No, it will not be Wl,ilam Howard
Taft, who was nominated for the job
some weeks ago.
But If anybody is named, it will be
Byron Bancroft Johnson,
Ban is the one big man Of baseball,
