on fragrant violation of club disci- pline. President Johnson gave his side Of the case.
 After detailing the manner in which Mays left the Boston club in Chica- go during the progress of a game, MT. Johnson said that the Chicago, Cleveland and New York clubs imne- diately opened negotiations to obtain the player. This, he said, prompted a vigorous protest. from the Washing ton, St. Louis and Detroit clubs, and later from Philadelphia James Dunn owner of the leveland club, imme- diately withdrew his efforts to obtain Mays as soon as the argument was presented to him that for pennant contender to obtain the services of the player would lower the standard of baseball
 Ten days after Mays left the Bos- ton club, MT. Johnson said, he wired Manager Barrow of the Boston club as follows:
 Please explain why Boston club has neglected to suspend Mays. This must be done immediately. or Amer ican league will be forced to take ac- tion.''
 On the same day, he saia, he sent the following telegram to Colonel Ruppert of the Yankees:
 Mays left Boston club July 1 with out permission, and has made decla- ration he will not continue in it's ser vice. This is most fragrant breach of discipline, and should not go un- punished. Six clubs have protested that player should not be permitted to go elsewhere. To allow this incident to go unchallenged will work endless harm to the American league. Clubs should stand together and refuse to negotiate for this man"
 Colonel Ruppert inquired which clubs had protested and Mr Johnson named Washington, St. Louis, De . -oit, Philadelphia and Cleveland. ad- 4ing Huston when here stated it would be mistake for any club to ake Mays, and hat personally he would be willing to lay off player if other clubs would so agree. Chica go, however, has failed to make any ans wer."
 T heard nothing further from Col onel Ruppert and naturally supposed he had dropped all negotiations for Mays Mr- Johnson's statement said. When the announcement was made in the newspapers of July 31 that the player had been transferred to the New York club, I was astonished. immediately suspended Mays .indefi4 nitely, and wired both the New York and Boston clubs to that effect
 The action of the American league club owners in the Mays case was prompted by a determination to pre- serve the games integrity and with a. keen sense for the welfare of the organization a. whole"
