JOHNSON WINS
FIVE TO THREE
Rupert, ComiSkey and Fra

At New York.
By United Press

BY United Press;
NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Five to
three.
That tells the story Of a revolu-
ton on the rocks. It's short way
of recounting a lost battle in the
American league meeting Wednes-
day. It's the count that was toHed
over the enemies of Ban Johnson.
From the battle ground where a
turbulent, loud voiced verbal en-
gagement ragged for three hours. Ban
Johnson limped away. But he
smiled. Three glum insurgents"
came away murmuring of a packed
house, stacked cards and a steam
roller
Messrs. Rupert, Comiskey and
Frazee were buried under a pile of
five to threes.
Big Three Outvoted.
They wanted a new league presi-
dent. They were outvoted five 10
three. They wanted Comislley in
the vice presidents chair. They
were outvoted five TO three. They
wanted some factional representa-
ton on the board of directors. They
were outvoted five to three In
fact, everything they wanted that
Ban didn't want was lost, five to
three.
Technically, the fight is over.
Johnson is president. His comrade
and favorite buddy" Frank Navin.
is vice president, and the board of
directors, which was lately discov-
cred possessed Of much power. is
stacked with his friends.
Ban is through personally for at
least another year. But his lawyers
are just starting.
Into Court Again.
The insurgents" will go into
court again. Papers for three suits
instituted by the Yankees were serv-
ed on the league president yesterday
afternoon. The nature of the suits
was not disclosed.
Outside of using the steam roller
on the minority, there was little
done resolution to bring back
the 154-game schedule was adopted
but all other business went over un-
til a meeting to be called by the
president.
Johnson and his lieutenant. Owner
Dunn, of Cleveland, left the board
of directors meeting and the league
boss didn't hear all the resolutions,
aimed at him, that were sung in the
swan song of the old board. There
were various reasons attributed for
the departure of Johnson and Dunn.
They claimed the directors tried to
unseat Ban as chairman and get
Comiskey to preside. The directors
charged they just got UP and left"
At any event they were not there
Strangle Grip.
JOhnson's attorneys said they had
not looked over the resolutions
passed by the directors and they
did not feel it necessary because
anything in them detrimental TO the
president can be nullified by a vote
of the new board. And Ban has
strangle grip on every vote Of the
directorate.
Verify, verify, Ban should worry

NEEBE WILL RUN
ON LIBERTY TICKET
SAYS He will Be Nominated for
Mayor Of Meriden and Is Now
Organizing the Party.

Meriden, Nov. 14-Frederick L.
Neebe former democratic state senator,
who announced several weeks ago that
the American Liberty party would have
a ticket in the field in the city election,
with himself as possible candidate for
mayor, is straining every effort to or
X ganize the party thoroughly. A few
weeks ago, shortly after he made his
initial announcement, Neebe publicly an
nounced the principles he would advo-
cate il he did run for mayor. Among
things which he said he favored and
would fight for was municipal ice
plant. He attracted some attention and
meetings of the new party, which have
been held regularly, were fairly well at
tended.
During the past week Neebe has been
busy getting signers to petition urg-
ing that the Liberty party put a ticket
in the field. He says that already he
has secured more that l per cent. OF
the voters of the city, and this, he add.
ed, is large majority of those who
he asked to sign When asked if there
was any chance of his party dropping
out of the race before election day. he
said: absolutely not" He is very en-
thusiastic over his party's chances. He
really believes the candidate for mayor
named by the Liberty party will be elect
ed. When asked few days ago if he
would run, he said that in all probable
ity he would.
Both republicans and democrats now
appear to take the American Liberty
party seriously. They are actually try
ing to dope out how many votes Neebe
would get and from what source they
would come.
The greatest strength of the Liberty
party leader perhaps lies among the la
Dor people. He has been an active labor
dition to holding Office in the typograph-
ica1 union, he has held various offices in
the state federation of labor and at pres
ent is treasurer of that body.
