Rupert Explains Mortgage.

;. AS the league did not inquire into the
= mortgage which Jacob Rupert, Inc,
holds on the Boston American League
grounds, the Colonel volunteered some
Information on the subject. Johnson had
announced that he would place the mat
ter of the mortgage before Judge Landis
but it seems as II that action will not be
taken now.
I with the National League was adopted
this without debate or suggestion of
changes. The board of directors voted a
certain sum of money for the hiring Of
an assistant who Is to aid In the prose-
cuton of the players and gamblers who
have been indicted by the Grand Jury In
Chicago.
The league decided to abrogate that
part of the changes In the rules whereby
4. all spitball pitchers were to be barred be-
ginning with the 1921 season. It voted
to permit all the spitball fingers who
, now are In the circuit to continue using
the damp delivery. This affects only six
pitchers. No men not already certified
as spitballers are to be allowed to use
that delivery. The National League took
. action along the same lines the other
day, but refereed the matter to the coun-
ell, which is composed OF Johnson, John
Heydler and Judge Lands.
Opposition was expressed to the neces-
sity of asking the National League for
waivers on any players about to be
released except men who had been draft
l.. ed. The adoption of this rule by both
leagues would mean a return to the old
conditions

2 at the hands of Ban johnson and his
9 Ioyal five was demonstrated in no I'M
Z certain fashion.
. The fact that peace, as applied to the
/; American League, is chimera came to
the fore in the election of the board OF
directors. Ever since the league was Or
ganized. twenty years ago. it had been
. the custom to follow q system of rota-
ton in selecting the directors. In this
. way men who were off the board one
!. year came back the next. The constitu-
ton provides that two men shall be
from the East and two from the West.
This year it was the turn of Col. Rup-
pert, Frazee and Comiskey to come back
/, on the board. along with Jim Dunn OF
Cleveland.
. But the loyal five yesterday refused
to follow precedent They decided to
accept Col. Rupert but not the other
two who were slated for election. When
the result of the election was announced
1t was found that Frazee and Comiskey,
who is Ill in Chicago, had been shut out
and that Rupert. Clark Griffith OF
Washington, Phil Ball of st. Louis and
Dunn Of Cleveland had been chosen.

u explained that If Frazee and Comiskey
5 could not get square deal he did not
want to serve on the board His resig-
e nation was accepted promptly and Ben
. Shibe Of Philadelphia was chosen in his
place.
With this splendid start toward ''har-
j. mony," the meeting proceeded along
rather controversial lines and broke all
e records for duration of the annual ses-
4 sion, as it was not until after z o'clock
in the evening that the deliberations
:. came to a close The Loyal Five tried to
q pass a resolution whereby Johnson's ex-
penses in fighting the Carl Mays case
. against the Yankees were to be paid by
> the league. But the insurgents, now
resurgent blocked that until the club
owners gather again on January IL, at
Chicago, for the joint meeting with the
, National League.
In the meantime the exact wording Of
the peace terms" with the johnson fac
ton will be gone over In an endeavor to
. learn whether the lawyers who drew up
that document intended that Johnson
should be reimbursed for fighting against
