JOHNSON WAITING
COMPLETE REPORT
Then He May Act Upon Status
of Carl Mays as American
leauue Pitcher.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-'T will make
no definite statement regarding the
future status OF Cary Mays until l
have more complete and definite re-
ports" Ban Johnson, president of
the American League, said today
when asked what stand he was going
to take regarding the protest OF Bos-
ton and Detroit players who are said
to have agreed not to face the New
York pitcher who Monday hit and
unintentially killed Ray Chapman, of
the Cleveland team.
Johnson has received a telegraphic
report OF the action OF the Boston
and Detroit players. Whether there
was merit in their action he refused
to say.
Ray Chapman was a splendid char
acter," Mr.. Johnson said. "ln all the
years he was identified with the
American League he was loved and
respected by every one in the profess
sion. In the period of his connection
with the Cleveland team there never
was occasion for censure by club
officials or the executive officers of
the league.
His tragic death will be keenlY
deplored by his comrades in the pro-
fession and the many thousands who
have been thrilled by his brilliant
performances on the feld.'

INDEPENDENTS WARNED
ABOUT ELIGIBLE PLAYERS
Names Must Have Been Submitted
Last Week Before Playing in
Series Games.

Independent teams who failed to
send in names for their eligibility
lists last week when the time was set
cannot use players now not reg
istered. Additional names sent in by
team managers who dug up players
after they were supposed to have
been in last week cannot use them
in the series>which started yesterday.
Several managers took the liberty
of sending in names to The Washing
ton Times after the time limit set.
They were accepted but notice was
given later that the names would
not be included in the original list.
Managers of the independent teams
are warned not to use players who
have not been listed. Games in which h
players are used who are Ineligible
will be declared forfeited. The Of
fcial scorer will check up each list
Of players with those who partici-
pated. Playing men under assumed
names will also cause forfeited
games.
Some of the teams are hot after
players. Pitchers seem to be scarce.
One or two sandlot stars well known
in this city have been claimed by as
many as six teams.
When player is claimed by two
teams and he plays in the independ-
cnt series, he Is barred from further
participation. unless his team wins.
Players can take part in independ-
ent as we'll as league series battles
unless they conflict.

DOME BUSH VOLUNTEERS
TO PLAY WITH INDIANS

BOSTON, Aug. 1S.-Shortstop Bush,
Of the Detroit team, announces that
he Is prepared to volunteer his serv-
ices to the Cleveland club for the rest
OF the season II sanction of the league
officials could be obtained. Sentiment
among his fellow-players indicated
that no opposition to such an arrange
ment was probable from members OF
his own club.
CHICAGO. Aug. 1S.-President John
son said today he knew no way by
which owen Bush. shortstop of the
Detroit team, could be transferred to
Cleveland. a procedure which Bush
suggested in Boston.
"It is past the time when sales or
trades can be made between clubs"
said President Johnson, "and loan
OF a player to a pennant contender
would never be sanctioned by the
other clubs. The whole affair Is a
most unfortunate one, but I can see
no way that one club can help Cleve-
land in It's emergency"

CARL MAYS FACES
ALL ACCUSATIONS
Yankee Pitcher Does Not Intend
Quitting Under Fire, Follow
ing Tragedy.

NEW YORK. Aug. 17.-Grief-
stricken Carl Mays declared here to-
day he will face accusations that he
mond. The fact that Ray Chapman
died from injuries he received when
ttruck by a ball pitched by Mays
will not keep the Yankee star out of
the game.
Mays is a college graduate. intelli-
gent, and a calm analyst OF his own
case.
"Any man who believes a pitcher
would deliberately throw a ball at
another's head in a ball game Is
foolish" he said. Even IL such a
thing were done it is difficult for me
to see how that pitcher could be-
lieve he would hit the man at whom
he was aiming.
CROWDED THE PLATE.-
81 know and so does anyone who
gives the matter serious thought that
poor Chapman was killed because he
didn't get out of the way of ball
that was practically certain to hit
him. He crowded the plate. That
was expected OF him because there
were runners on the bases and he was
doing to best to score them.
by standing close he made me
pitch in narrow space. The ball
that hit him was a fast one. not a
curve. A slight move would have
saved Chapman.
MY grief over the accident is
great, but it is something that could
not be helped. / intend to remain in
baseball and show the fans that
things which have been said of me
are either malicious or ill-advised.
WAR is THREATENED.
Whether new baseball war will
develop from the accident probably
will become known today when
players of the Detroit and Boston
clubs discuss further their intimation
that they would ask Ban johnson.
President of the American League to
bar Mays from baseball.
1t is known here the New York
Baseball club will go the limit to
back ist star against any action that
may be taken. Officials of the club
are convinced that Mays has been
unusually unfortunate and are not
going to allow this incident to force
hime from the game IL they can pre-
vent 1T.
Before leaving for Cleveland with
Mrs. Chapman and the body OF the
dead athlete iris Speaker. manager
of the Indians, said he would try
to prevent any action in the Cleve-
land club against Mays. He Is ex-
pected to issue a statement today in
Cleveland.
