However, President Johnson of the

However, President Johnson of the Am erican league is known to be strongly in favor of retaining MT. Hermann as chairman, and it is be- lieved that he will prevail upon Herr mann to take the office again. If Johnson should vote for Hermann and Heydler should refuse to vote for him again. the election of chairman would result in 9 deadlock, and Herr mann would continue to serve as a holdoVer official.
 Johnson has never been in sympa- thy with the National leagues effort to oust Hermann from the commis- sion. Since the commission was es- tabiished in 1908 Johnson and Herr mann have served continuously, and the American league head argues that, after his long, and faithful service, it is not advisable to depose ethe chair man.
