aehearsss Mays Case.

AuerbSch rehearsed in detail the act
OF July IS in Chicago which led to the
suspension OF the pitcher on July 81.
The player then was in a bad state of
mind. according to the attorney. Mays's
house in Missouri had burned down a
short time before, destroying all his
baseball souvenirs and trophies. In
addition he had had domestic troubles
and was not feeling well when Manager
Barrow asked Elm to pitch.
In the second inning a low thrown
ball by Schang hit Mays on the neck.
At the end OF the inning he went to the
club house suffering with pain. He
was later found with his head IN his
hands crying. Barrow ordered him to
his hotel to get medica. attention. The
neck was so badly swollen next day that
Mays was unable to wear a collar. After
notifying Barrow Mays went to Boston
to explain matters to Frazee. who per-
mitted him to take a fishing trip to
Pennsylvania to pull himself together.
Auerbach testified that Mays never
had been disciplined during his career
in baseball and was held in high esteem
by Frazee, who had sympathized with
him in his family and financial troubles.
Knowing several clubs were bidding for
Mays Frazee asked the pitcher which
club he would prefer to go to.

Ban b. johnson. president OF the

Ing OF his career In Part I. Of the
Supreme Court. when the attorneys for
the New York Americans, Joseph F..
Auerbach and Charles II. futile. went
70 pat In the celebrated Carl Mays case.
Johnson was PANIED and frizzied for
TWO hours and half by the legal talent
Of the Yankees while they were trying
to convince Justice Robert f. Wagner
that the injunction In the Mays case
should be made permanent
johnson was called everything from
an intclerable despot' to "a Russian
Gar and was accused of every base
oall crime from syndicate baseball to
decentralization Of his office
The Yankee Colonels. Rupert and
Huston. were well satisfied with the
laying their attorneys gave Big Ban
that they sent out a statement last night
that there will be absolutely no truce
or compromise with the American League
executive.

Is their acknowledged platform and they
VIII listen to no quarter The Joint state

Those who were fortunate enough
TO be present at the hearing of the
injunction proceedings in the Carl
Mays case to-day before Supreme
Court Judge Robert Wagner under
stand now why we agreed with the
boastful statement sent out by BAN
johnson that there would be no COM
promise OF this case.
There win be no compromise, and
our efforts not only to cleanse base

manlike and indefensible tactics but
also to throw around the property
interests OF the several clubs Of the
American League the solemn pro-
lection Of the law against the des-
potic action of Ban johnson or his
like will not cease with the ending OF
this litigation. We feel naturally
gratif1ed at the progress of the pro-
ceedings, and our expectation IL
that all the clubs of our league will
