the Cleveland club II win be a hard
matter to convince those interested in
the national game that he Is guilty Of
any great crime. As n matter OF fact
the average baseball enthusiast Is not
very much interested in the business end
OF the game, and the efforts of certain
club owners In the league to create n
scandal in major league baseball are 70
be condemned rather than approved
The great game has already had enough
unfavorable notoristy. especially during
the war. and there seems to be no
reason why it should be dragged into
court.
| Those who have followed the affairs
| OF the American League since its organi-
zation are aware Of the fact that one
man has been responsible for Its sue
cess. That man Il Ban johnson. He
may be accused Of every crime on the
calendar just now by his enemies. but
the fact remains that It was through
his perseverance,. diplomacy and fore
sight that the American League has de-
veloped into what 1t Is at present We
have only TO refer to the results Of the
worlds series to realize that the Amer
lean League Is the major league.
| As far as Johnson's ownership Of
stock in the Cleveland club is concerned.
wouldn't any sensible business man take
the same steps TO preserve the organiza-
ton over which he presided? johnson
has stated that II was difficult matter
( to interest capital in the club after
Charles Somers had been forced to re-
\ linquish control because OF bankruptcy.
He succeeded in interesting John Dunn,
but II was necessary for johnson to
assist Dunn in financing the club. This

Two notable evasions Of specific
statement concerning the relation Of
the League Of Nations to the hopes Of
the Irish liberators have been re-
corded this week. One evasion was
by Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE at London on
Wednesday. The other evasion was
by President WILSON, also on Wednes-
day, at San Francisco.
When the British Premier was
asked about the practical workings of
the League in the cases of Russia and
Ireland he solemnly replied, I'VE must
have fair play in both cases. Never
was a League of Nations more
needed" What this means or does
not mean, or whether 1t means any
thing at ell, we leave to Celtic intel
ligence to determine.
President WILSON'S treatment of
the same subject was more elabo-
rately and therefore more trickily
slantindicular. Somebody wrote out
and presented TO him a series OF ques-
tions, one of which was this:
why was the case OF Ireland not
heard at the Peace Conference. and
what is your position on the subject
Of self-determination for IrelandY"
To the first part of this inquiry the
President replied that the Peace Con-
ference had no jurisdiction over any
question Of that sort which did not
affect territories which belonged to
the defeated empires. The answer,
so far as Ireland is concerned, was
obviously indicated and was perfectly
good. But President WILSON then
went on to say:
MY position ON the subject Of self
determination for ireland is expressed
! in Article XII OF the covenant, In
which 1 may say was particularly
interested. because it seemed to me
necessary for the peace Of the world
that a forum should be created to
which all peoples could bring any
matter which was likely to affect the
peace and freedom of the world"
The humbug of this attempt to Gre
ate the impression that in Article Nj.
{ he had provided for the Irish the ma
chinery for self-determination, tri-
bunal, or FORUM" as he slyly put it,
for the examination and adjustment
Of their political wrongs and rights,
is apparent as soon as We examine
the text Of that article:
ANY war or threat of war. whether
Immediately affecting any of tho
Members Of the League or not, is
hereby declared a matter of concern
to the whole League, and the League
shall take any action that may be
deemed wise and efrectual to safe
guard the peace Of nations. In case
any such emergency should arise
the SecretarY-General shall on the
request Of any Member of the League
forthwith summon a meeting of the
Council"
That is the first part Of Article XII
Under its provisions Ireland, not be-
! ing a Member of the League, could
get meeting Of the Council. or 80
