REBELS HAVE
 NEW PLAN ID
 BEAT JOHNSON

New York. Aug. I2----The latest scheme of tho three insurgont clubs Of tho American League 10 clip Ban JohIssoE's wings ts to hit him through the league board of directors. The majority of club owners failed to attend the meeting called by the rebels yesterday in New YoEi but Ban Johnson, through his counsel, asked for a postponenlent of the injunction bearing on the Carl Mays case and it was agreed that the hearing ehould go over until Friday. The thrce maRnates present at yesterdays meeting were: Col Ruppert Of New York, Charles CortslSey of Chicago, and Harry Fra-zee of Boston.
 Tor cnce fate has played into their hends. While five clubs in the Amer dcan League evidently are supporting Johnson in his stand in the Mays case, the three American League in- surrvctionists absolutely control the board of directors. The American League board consists of Comiskey, F'razee, Ruppert and Dunn of Cleve- land.
 The three clubs represented yester- day decided thore was an urgent necessity for calling special meet sng of the board of directors in New 1DTk next InuISuAys Nhlle New York, Boston and Chicago are a mi nority among the eight clubs, as the controlling factors in the board of directors they can accomplish much.
 In a statement issued last night Comiskey. Ruppert and Frazee say the meeting is callei on the authority vested in them by the American League constitution. It says the di- rectors will consider and take action in the Mays case, but more important it will consider and take action in the matter of the relations between John son and the league and the board of directors, and will consider "the man agement of the affairs of the office of the president of the league by its present incumbent"
 Couched in courtly language, 1t means that the board of directors of the American League intends to mako a thorough Investigation of the entire Mays case, and the action of Ban Johnson in connection with it. It amounts to the Impeachment of Johnson, and tho New York owners make no attempt to deny the i'm prcssion that it is the purpose of the majority directors to give Ban a good dressing down and if possible eliminate him from baseball.

DETROIT CLUB HAS CHANGE 10
 LAND PENNANT

Championship prospects for the White Sox have received a rude jolt in the teams swing through the Eastern circuit, while the outlook for Detroit looks brighter every day Chicago pitchers have unquestionabIy cracked and the result has been to open up a crevice that the Jennings tribe may slip through before the Gleason crowd realizes it is being crowded.
 The White Sox opened up their se- ries in the East on July 20 with lead of 1-2 games over the Tigers which at the end of last week had been reduced to a four-game lead They still have a hard fight on at Washington, while the Tigers ought to find it an easy matter to clean up the remainder of their series at Philadelphia Should the lead be further cut to a three-game margin before the teams return home, the vantage would lie with Detroit, for on the home grounds the Jungaleers have been well nigh invincible this season.
 Chicag agof has nothing on it's pitching staff to match up with the quartet of Tigers composed of Ehmke, Dauss, Roland and Leonard. Backed up by a sterling group of hftters like Cobb, veach, Heilmar, F1agstead and Shor- ten, the pitching staff is working along under a rich percentage.
 In the National League the race looks easier for Cincinnati, for the reason that all the fight has been knocked out of the Giants by their de- feats fin the West and no team below the New Workers in the standing has @ reasonable chance to get into first money.

there may be race riots when Canada opens the turf with public betting?
 "Ba ttling Nelson not only was a better man than Benny Leonard but was the greatest lightweight of mod ern times. He was a greater fighter than Joe Cans. That goes. I don't claim that he was greater boxer than Cans for almost anybody could outbox Nelson, but Cans never saw the day he could lick the Dane in finish fight. Nelson was-and is dead game. He would sooner die than quit"
 The above represents the senti- nents of Billy Nolan of Iron Jaw' fame, who managed Nelson when the Dane was in hds heydey. Nolan and Nelson were not on the best of terms when they parted company but it is evident that Nolan does not let per sonal feelings bear on his judgment of the Battler's status among light weight champicas.

Drake once campaigned a for nidable. racing stable which was trained by Enoch Wishard. When Wyeth won in 1902 American Derby in Chicago in Drake's colors a tre- mendous killing was effected.
