JOHNsON's STATEMENT

CnlcagO, August l1.-bdn JOnnSOn, president of the American League. to- night said he could make no statement concerning the future status of Carl Mays until he had more complete re- ports, when informed of the reported intention of the Boston and Detroit teams to ask that the New York pitcher be banished because of the death of Ray Chapman.
 President Johnson said he knew of no way by which Owen Bush, short stop of the Detroit team. could be transferred to Cleveland. procedure which Bush suggested in Boston to- night
 Tt is past the time when sales or trades can be made between clubs" !" said President Johnson, "and a loan of . player to a contender would never be sanctioned by the other clubs. The whole affair is most unfortunate one. but can see no way that any one club can help Cleveland in it's emer- gency."

 MAYS STATEMENT E Tt was a straight. fast ball and not a curved one. When Chapman came to bat, 1 got the signal for a straight fast ball, which I delivered It was a little too close and I saw Chapman duck his head in an effort to get out of the path of the ball. He was too late, however, and a second later he fell to the ground. It was the most regrettable incfcent 0. my career and 1 would give anything If [ could undo what has happened.
 After hearing Mays story, MT. Joyce said he thought Chapman's death was purely accidental
 Manager Speaker, talking with Colonel T. l.. Huston, one of the owners of the Yankees, said the accident was unavoid- able.
 ''We do not hold Mays responsible he added. T have been active in disS fcouraging my players from holding Mays irresponsible and in respect to Chapman's memory, as we'll as for the good or base ball, 1 hope all talk of this kind will stop I can realize that Mays feels this thing as deeply as any man could and I do not want to add anything to his burden. l do not know what prompt ed the action of the Boston and Detroit players. For my part, I think It IS de- plorable.
 The thought that the diamond tragedy would spoil the chances of both the Cleveland and New York for the league pennant was general among baseball fans here.
 At her hotel, Mrs Chapman, who ar rived from Cleveland several hours after her husband had breathed his last. re- fused to receive the proffered eonsola- ton of her husbands friends and team mates Except for Manager Speaker. she would see no one, spending the day in her room.
 Early in the day she, announced her intention. of going to the undertaken s parlor. but later, when it was learned the body could be moved to Cleveland on early evening train, she changed her mind and declared she would wait until her arrival at home.
 BLOW KILLED HIM
 The postmor,en examination of the body brought no new information. At- cording to the autopsy surgeon. Chap man died from blow in the left tenn peral region which fractured the skull, depressing d portion of bone which caused an intercranial hemorrhage.
 Colonel Huston said he was dseply touched by Chapman's death, though he refused to make any statement on be- half of the New York club.
 .l am terriUiy sorry that Chapman was killed, Mir. Huston said. I m sorry such accident had to happen in our park or any of our team had any connection with it. It is unfortunate that it should have been Mays who pitched the ball. too. because of the tremendous publicity he has already had, II can't say any more than that" Colonel Huston admitted there would be bitterness on the part of players as the result of Chapman's death. but said ne received assurances from Iris Speaker that he would do all possible to prevent an atrieuue of antagon.sn becoming gen eral among Chapman's old teammates. Thousands of fans who did not know that Chapman had succumbed gathered at the Polo grounds to see the game. 1 They dispersed when told that the short stop had died and the lame had been called off.
