HEARD AT MEETING

Garry Hermann announced that
unless something was done within a
month about selecting a successor to
him as chairman of the National
Commission. he would withdraw. As
the matter stands. he says. there are
ten clubs in favor of his withdrawal
and five against it. The five clubs
he referred to are the five in the
American League supporting Ban
johnson.
And while the American Leaguers
were going to battle the old National
League was quietly finishing up its
business and laughing merrily as
news from the front" fioated into
the Waldorf. John Heydler did a
dandy lob and the gang esteems him
as quite a president now
The American League meeting was
just about as stormy a session as
any on record. Comiskey and Rup-
pert. in reciting their grievances
against Ban johnson. left absolutely
nothing unsaid. The Yankee mogul
made frequent use Of "the shorter
and uGlier word" and the South
Side mandarin was heard to say
American League club owners have
been stabbed in the back for years
by this man."
Among several communications
which were read to the National
League magnates was one from
Lloyds. the English insurance or
ganization. offering to insure them
against rain.
Johnson's legal advisors assert that
the effort to seat Comiskey as chair
man at the directors meeting yes-
terday was in violation of the con-
stitution and will nullify the acts
OF the retiring directors at the spe-
cial meetings.
.Johnson's report as secretary
treasurer did not clear up the con-
test for third-place money. He sub
mitted one standing Of the clubs''
which included the games pitched Nv
Carl Mays for the Yankees and an
other in which these games were
not counted. One table places the
Yankees third and the other fourth.
Tackled on to this report Is an opin-
ion that this issue can be settled
only by a final decision in the Mays
case.
In future world series arrangements
will be made beforehand for umpires'
fees They probably will get a. per-
centaee of the receipts, as do the play
ers. SO there will be no squabbles over
what money they obtain provided the
gate Is big.
The National League Is willing to
receive or entertain proposition from
the minors looking toward the re-es-
tablishment Of relations between the
bigger and smaller circuits. II was
the sense OF the meeting to have a
minor league committee meet with the
joint COMMITTEES Of the major leagues
In February and then decide the prob
