TNOEEAGUES WILL.
Be ASKED TO Join

Departmental and Navy Yard base
ball league heads will be invited to
nominate a representative circuit win
ner for the proposed amateur baseball
title series which will start on Au-
gust 16.
At a meeting of the Amateur AssO-
citation here scheduled for Friday
night at Spalding's Store, the Navy
Yard men as well as the Department
al League moguls will be asked to
either terminate their series or de-
clare a winner or a representative to
enter the games with representatives
of the two Terminal Railroad Y. NJ.
c. A. Leagues. the Government league
and the War lnterbureau League.
Four leagues are ready for compe-
tition to determine a city titIeholder.
The Navy Yard and Departmental
Leagues, with perhaps the largest fol-
lowings in the city, have many more
dates to run. It is expected that
these teams will hold their series
later in the season despite what is
done in the matter Of entering a post
season series with the other teams
now ready.
On Thursday it is expected that
Shops and Southern Of the Terminal
Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. will fight out
their differences at Union Station. A
win for Southern will give that team
undisputed title in the circuit A win
for Shops will put that team as win
ner Of the second series with a chance
to play of with Southern, which won
the first series.
At all odds Major Robert H. l.
Young is expecting an attendance Of
the Navy Yard and Departmental men
on Friday night to see just what can

Wrong, Earl, OF deah, your abso-
darnlutely wrong. II these teams
have any valiant trenchermen, and ]
have no knowledge that they have
any, to compare with Joe Boehling,
Frank Shellenback or Jim Shaw, as
the latter used to be in his younger
days, they certainly will not perform

but they're all done roofing for an
admitted loser.
1t might be enlightening for some
OF the club owners here to take a
spin around to the diamonds where
some of the strong sandlot teams
play. They'll see many fans there
who used to go to Georgia avenue.
This Is an unfortunate situation, but
there's only one way to help it, and
the owners must know it.
Professional baseball can be contin-
ued only by the constant addition to
its army Of rooters. The young men
must be interested in the welfare OF
the team enough to want to go out
every day and see il. Go up to Aque-
duct Bridge and see the hundreds OF
young men out in canoes. They are
thinking of anything but the Griff-
men. Hundreds more are playing ten
mis-. More hundreds are either play
ing sandlot baseball or watching it,
1t is useless to blink ones eyes at
this situation. 1t stands out every
where all over Washington. We have
been told that the Griffmen played
to something like 165,00O0 fans on
their recent swing around the circuit.
That's good, but it would be better. il
Washington were doing its share in
providing these crowds. Being the
visiting team sure Of defeat is not an
envious position for ball club to
hold nor a reason for cheering over
the large attendances in other cities.
Becoming hystericaI over this sit
uation is ridiculous. The American
League has something to say about it,
If it does come to pass, as has so
frequently OF late been predicted, that
Washington loses its American League
franchise, judging from the looks OF
things, there will be little gloom
here. The old-timers will be sorry.
but the newer army of baseball lovers
are slowly but surely being permitted
to turn their attention in other di-
rections. Becoming hystericaI over
this gets one nothing. II may be
merely a sign Of the times.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.-If Willie
Jackson. of New York, had kept his
head he might be credited today with
a Knockout victory over Lew Tender,
aspirant for Benny Leonard's crown.
In the first round of a six-round mill
here last night, jackson dropped
Tender twice, once for the count of
nine. Tenders seconds threw water
into the ring to revive him while he
was taking the count. Jackson be-
came so euraged he forgot about
Tender and started after the seconds.
1t probably cost him the fight be-
cause Tender came back strong and

pIastertng Jackson all over the arena.

BAN JOHNSON
WON'T HOLD
ANY MEETING
Big League Differs
Of Yesterday

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Ban john
sons first bluff has been called.
There will be no meeting of the
American League magnates here to-
day, and Colonel Huston, of the
Yankees, believes johnson called it
off when he found it doubtful if he
could muster enough magnates with
. clean hands who would back him up
in suspending Carl Mays, the
pitcher, who is the cause of what
threatens to be the biggest fight in
the history Of the American League.
The alleged Gear of Baseball has
refused to lift the suspension on
Nays, however, and so the New York
clubs attorneys, after spending all
day yesterday preparing their afr
oavits and other official papers, are
expected to go into court today, ask
ing an injunction restraining B. B.
Johnson from further interference in
the affairs of the New York club.
johnson is in hiding, refusing to be
interviewed by any baseball writer's.
Scribes have been close on his trail,
eNN hui OAc lOGHu nlIns
COmlskey Is silent.
In all these rumors of war it is no
tieeaple that Charles A. Comiskey,
owner of the Chicago club and the
man responsible for the rise of Ban
Johnson in the national game, is si-
lent. Not one word has been heard
from him. He is known to be on the
outs with the alleged Gear of Base
A-n Awva E. l. l.
he stands in the present mix-up over
Johnson's latest ruling in the Mays
case.
Ban Johnson brought this fight
upon himself" says Colonel Huston,
and we will give him all the fight
he wants. We will take every means
. to go after him that honorable gen
uemen may employ to secure their
rights.
"The trouble is fundamental We.
believe the president of the Ameri-
can League is interested in the Cleve-
land club. We are not going to try
to prove this, but that is oar belief,
and We believe it the conviction of
every club owner in the American
League. Until this carbuncle is re-
moved there can be no health in our
league"
VIII Take Up Defy.
when it was said that johnson
might defy the New York club to
prove its statement, Colonel Huston
replied: I'VE should be glad to take
the defy. We then could make the
directors bring their books into court
and show just who the Cleveland
stockholders are"
In the light Of Illusions charge, ii
is interesting to note that the Cleve
land club offered Guy Morton, Ed
klepfer and Elmer Smith for Carl
Mays, and il was not until this offer
failed to land the pitcher for the In
dams that johnson decided to sus-
pend him.
The session Sunday between John
son and the two YANKEE magnates is
said to have been a sizZler. The talk
fairly burned of all the metal work
in the room at the Holland House.
The Yankees told Johnson their side
of the case in no unmistakable terms.
