WHAT THEY SAY
Ice KeYAcr


The Des Moines club OF the West
ern League is going to stick with
Ban johnson in the face of the pos
sible baseball Lee Keyser, Sec
rotary of the club, says:
I'VE intend to stick with Ban
Johnson on this opposition. Don't
think we are opposing the Lasker
plan. 1t may have its good points.
The place where we draw the line
is the attempt of IL major league
clubs to force the rest OF organized
baseball into following them. The
threatened war in baseball is not
caused by the friction on the plan. 1t
is caused from personal s~elfishness,
petty jealousy and ~disgruntled ambi-
ton of men at the head of the diff
ferent organizations. Each has a
pick on the executive of the Amer
lean League and Is taking this meth
cd of freezing him out of the game.
I do not believe the scheme will get
the support of the Glass A and Glass
"A circuits"
