The South Side Turner's with Secrest

Independents, winners over several of the
crack teams in the state, by a 50 to IS

period to visitors fed the ball to Smart,

Minors Gain Point
in Major PdrLey by
Commission Grant
Representative Permitted to
Act With Big FeLLOWS in
Certain Disputes.
BIG MEETING CLOSES

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Ban Johnson bav-
ing been finally located, after a lapse OF
twenty four hours, the minor leagues at
last got their wish Friday and put over
something which they had not expected
Mr.. Johnson came to the Congress hotel
Friday morning and announced that he
was ready to meet with the minor league
committee, most of whose members had
remained over. President Heydler was
still here, and so a meeting was hastily
called.
The minors continued their demands
for man of their own selection to help
in the determination of disputes involv-
ing major and minor league club
Thursday President Heydler of the Ma
tional league had argued strongly against
this proposition. pointing out that a na
tional commission which was good
enough to decide all major league cases
should also be good enough for the
minors.
JOHNSON COMES
TO MINORS AID.
But Ban Johnson unexpectedly agreed
to the demands of the minors, and ar
rangement was finally made which sat
iSnes them. It was agreed that the ma
tional board which is the executive com
m1ttee OF the minor leagues. should ap-
point a man who win act with the chair
man of the national commission in de
Gliding all cases which involve a nj ljor
and minor league club. Should these
two fail to agree in any case they are EN-
powered to appoint a third man, who
shall be neutral, to give the final deci-
sion. The two major league presidents
who are ex-oficio members Of the com
mission, will not act on any OF these
cases.
This makes a rather cumbersome ar
rangement' In comparison with the
smoothly working conditions under
which the commission has operated for
so many years, but 1t was made neces-
sary by the lack of confidence reposed
by the minors in the commission. as
1t may possibly be constituted All the
delegates present said that if August
Hermann had been retained as chair
man they would have been satisfied to
leave their cases in his hands. The
minor leagues are very anxious to re-
sumo relations with the majors under the
national agreement This matter was
referred to the two major league presi-
dents to act on after consultation with
their leagues. As the American leag
has already voted not to resume rela
tons it is likely that the minors re
quests viii be refused
The old national commission was TO
hold its final meet today and clean UP
all old cases before Chairman Hermann
permanently retires from office 1t was
possible that the new chairman of the
commission would be announced by
Presidents Heydler and Johnson.
Judge kenesaw Mountain Lands Fri
day announced that he refused to be a
candidate for the chairmanship of the
national commission. He sent word to
President Heydler of the National league.
asking that his name be withdrawn from
the list of six submitted at the joint
meeting. Harvey Woodruff seems to
have the call for the position, with Sena-
tor Walker of New York also favor
ably thought of.

Bill not only believes in love, but he's
going to prove it, and he's going to have
