BAN Johnson GETS
BACKING TRIAL
By SID c. KEENER.

ST. LOUIS, No. Aug. 25.-The Carl
Mays case has not been closed. al
though Mays continues to pitch for
the New York Yankees. President
Ban johnson, of the American League,
paid an unexpected visit here yester-
day, conferred with Magnate Ball, OF
the Browns, and when it comes time
to present evidence the American
League magnate probably will have
enough political strength to wipe out
the decision rendered by three own
ers-Ruppert, FTazee, and Comisley-
allowing Mays to. pitch for the
Yankees.
It is known that Johnson has the
support OF Owner Ball. OF the Browns,
who was one Of the magnates who re-
fused TO accept Ruppert's invitation to
attend the recent meeting in New
York. When Ball was asked to re-
port he fired a burning message to the
owner. Of the Yankees. telling him
that he did not agree with his policy.
with his methods of handling the af
fair, and that he not only would nos
be present. but that Mr.. Johnson
would have his vote.
President Johnson said that for the
present he did not wish to announce
his plans Of attack, but that ne would
be ready TO talk and ready to show
where the New York and Boston
clubs broke the strong chain when
they arranged the deal transferring
Mays 10 the Yankees.
Sorry For Incident
"I am extremely sorry that this in
cident had to come up in our league"
said johnson yesterday. Were hav-
ing a wonderful season. great pen
nant race. baseball is going through
a revival. the fans are focking to the
games, and, unfortunately, we had to
have something 70 soil the linen I
have no personal interest in the
case. I look for the welfare OF the
league, the welfare OF baseball, and I
believe that the fans will agree with
the decision 1 rendered and with my
attempt TO block the trade the clubs
made"
johnson. when asked to give his
opinion on the pennant winner, re-
piled. I'm sorry that eight clubs
cannot play in the worlds series for
us. The Nationals certainly did not
look like a seventh place club to me.
in that fellow Zachary, and he GER
tainIy showed some great stuff against
the Browns"
Zachary Did Well.
Zachary did pitch an excellent game
although ne did not hnish. He was
on the rubber for six and two-third
innings, and gave six hits. He walked
four batters and showed his mettle
against Bill Jacobson. who has become
the second batter in the league, in
the third inning.
The Browns had Austin on second
and GedeOn on first, with no one out,
when Jacobson appeared. lie bounded
10 Foster and a double play resulted.
In the fifth the Browns had three on
with one out and jacobson at the
plate. The fence buster was retired
on a pop fly TO Judge.

 New London. Aug. 1.-According to the political rule of three, Alnarin T. Hale, one of the republican candidates for representative to the legislature at the last election. is the logical nomi- nee for mayor of New London when the term of the present incumbent ex- pires. He is already in training for the high office. When the present chief magistrate, E. Frank Morgan became mayor he appointed as his private secretary. Former Mayor M. Wilson Dart. a retired merchant who retired from business after making q profitable real estate deal with the city. Recently the mayor appointed succeed Jerome Collins as personal tax collector, better paying position Former Mayor Dart was also former collector of customs for the port of New London. Mayor Morgan had no difficulty in securing new secretary. Realizing the competency of the for mer collector of customs, he decided ito appoint MT. Hale as his secretary to succeed Mir. Dart. It so happened that MT. Hale, too had been former collector of customs for the port. dur ing the second Cleveland administra- ton. He was then an active demo- cratic worker and has been trained in the politics of both parties locally, and therefore knows enough of the pollti- cal game to get himself into line for the maporalty.
 The office of secretary to the mayor carries with it a substantial salary and has developed into quite politi- cal sinecure. In the years that have long passed that office was filled at nominal salary by some old gentle man, who sat in the mayors office few hours each day. as a sort of of fec boy. just to tell visitors just when the mayor would be at the office, or receive messages to be handed to the mayor. Now the secretary is a sec retary in fact and answers cores pondence relative to business of the city, but presumably only with the mayors knowledge and consent. Just by what authority this now lucrative office was created and the big salary fixed is just a little bit problemati- cal. But it must be all proper or it would never been sanctioned by mayors noted for their municipal eco- nomy.
