Chicago Meeting Is Called
Off So as to Avoid
Any Further Litigation

CHICAGO, Dec. S.--President Ban
johnson of the American League, &C
companied by five "loyal" club owners,
departed tonight for New York to
accept the challenge of the three
rebel" directors and attend the meetA
ing called for Wednesday to settle the
contest for the presidency of the
league.
The controversy will be fought out
on the ground chosen by the minority
directors of the eague-Charles Comis-
key, owner of the Chicago club; Harry
Frazee, of the Boston club. and Colo
mel Jacob Rupert, of the New York
club.
The decision to attend the New York
meeting was reached by the five
loyal club owners at a secret meet
ing this afternoon After the session,
President Johnson announced that the
meeting called for Chicago on Wednes-
day had been cs!ioG of. This action
was taken on the advice of counsel in
the belief that the quickest way to
straighten out the tangle was to COM
pei the opposition to clay its cards
on the table of its own choosing"
George w. Miller, counsel for Pres :
ident Johnson and his associates, said
that the majority club owners did not
by their action admit the right of the
directors to call this meeting. but it
was their desire to compel show
down.
"If the three club owners -Messrs
Comiskey Rupert and Frazee-met in
New York and the other five in Chi
cago," Miller said, there might be
further litigation to embarrass the
league. The three directors might set
up the claim that their meeting was the
legal one, and, not having a quorum,
might adjourn and throw the league
into endless litigation.
"To circumvent this possibility, the
majority club owners decided to meet
the minority on their own ground and
settle the dispute at once"
The meeting to-day was not a pro-
tracted one and at its conclusion all
parties maintained that it was both
harmonious and confident. All five
loyal clubs were fully represented.
Those in attendance were B. S. Minor
and Clark Griffith, of the Washington
club; President Phil Ball and Business
Manager Robert Quinn, Of St. Louis;
Treasurer Tom Shibc and Manager
Connie Mack. of the Philadelphia club;
Frank j. Navin, of the Detroit club,
1ad James C. Dunn, OF Cleveland.

dents named, Bobby Quinn, of st.
Louis; Connie Mack, of Philadelphia,
and Clark Griffith, of Washington, are

The fact that johnson and his asso-
ciatea gre coming to New York is a
fighting the league executive. But it
uoes not Imply the least weakening on
the part of the majoritv. Indeed, Pres
ident Johnson left the Windy City
breathing defiance in every pore, if
Chicago news dispatches are trustwor-
thy.
Prepare for Hard Fight
The "Big Three" is preparing for a
harder fight than would have been nee
essary had johnson and the five club
owners attempted to hold the annual
meeting in Chicago. A meeting in the
Windy City would have been illegal, as
doubtless Johnson's counsel pointed out
to the American League caucus in Chi
cago yesterday. Now. Johnson and his
FIVE supporters are coming to New York
to attend legal meeting. Providing
the invading front remains unbroken
and "steam- roller" tactics are attempt
ed, Johnson's cohorts can outvote the
"Big Three" five to three.
But the three do not intend to sur
render the bridge. The Old Roman,
"Horatius" Comiskey. is already on the
scene from Chicago, armed with
sheaf of very official appearing docu
ments and bevy of Illinois lawyers
with "Herminius" Rupert and "Spur-
us Lartius' Frazee as to the best ways
and means of distributing the be-
leagured troop. They threaten dire
calamity in the matter of hand

he ?" said Colonel Rupert yesterday
afternoon when shown dispatch from
Chicago stating that Ban had Cancelled
his call for the annual meeting in Chi
cago and that he and the other five
club owners would attend the meeting
called by the board of directors here.
"That's fine. At last he has found
he had no authority to call the meeting
in Chicago"
No Idea of Compromise
Rupert was asked whether the with
drawal of the New York clubs injunc-
tion proceedings against the proposed
Chicago meeting had anything to do
with Johnson's action of yesterday; or
in other words, if any significance of
compromise existed.
"No. indeed" he replied. "Not the
least in the world. We have absolutely
no idea of compromise. The suit was
withdrawn because too many long
drawn out technicalities were involved
There was no compromise; nor will
there be one"

partner of Colonel Jacob Rupert in
the Yankee club, made admissions yes

have been accorded men and women
of the race have been great stimu-
lation to their ambition, they have
beenbeen a wonderful incentive urg
ing them onward to the undertaking
of still more difficult tasks that they
may bring greater honor to their coun
try and to their race which needs
every star that can be gained to il
luinine the pages of history which
prejudiced, Negro-despising nation
are wont to paint black, or to bury
in obscurity.
Now, if we, as a race, can rise up
in a dangerous emergency caused by
unforeseen circumstances and fill the
break in the machinery of our gov
ernment to the satisfaction of even
the most critical task masters, shall
we, now that the great crisis is past,
betake ourselves from the principal
scene of action without some sort of
ceremony? Shall we fall back to the
levels from which we were called
without protest? These are ques-
tions which should find place in the
mind of every Negro man and woman
throughout this country.
At present, all eyes are directed
toward the return Of those who have
endured privations, suffered and sac
rificed in distant lands, and the dis
position that will be made of them in
the future is subject of much con-
lecture. In France, our Sister Re
public, our men have received a
hearty welcome. They have been ac-
corded the unstinted hospitality of the
French homes They have been
shown every honor due them as men,
and, above all, as citizens of the
country which they represented.
They, in their brief period of service
over seas, have been made to forget
the taint of prejudice, the many in
justices which they have borne in the
very land which boasts of being the
Cradle of Democracy" They have
not been reminded at every opportune
and inopportune time that they be-
longed to race that is despised and
condemned because of color and sup
posed mental inferiority. Many Of
their number lie buried in unknown
graves, having poured out their last
libation on the altar of their country.
Many of those who return have shed
their blood that the gems in the crown
of our fair Democracy might become
more resplendent.
All this, and more, is true. Yet,
when those who are lucky enough to

return enter into home ports, they,
no doubt, will be welcomed with an
enthusiasm that is characteristic of
the American throng. Those who
greet them at the wharves will per-
haps, receive them into their bosoms.
But, when these same heroes are
transferred to the different camps
throughout this country to be finally
mustered out, they must ride in the
same old Jim Crow cars, they, per-
haps, will be subjected to many of
the same old humiliating insults, and
the wild cheers that acclaimed their
arrival into home ports will be but
as something evanescent, mockery
of their fondest dreams. 1t will be
as though th6 same throng which
yelled itself hoarse in its anxiety to
give them hearty welcome were cry
ing out in clamorous voices, Cruelty
