RED SOX FANS
ASK NEW DEAL
IN OWNERSHIP
Appeal to League President
May or May Not Bring
About Change.
BOYCOTT NOW PLANNED

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 23.-Ban Johnson,
GEAR" Of the American League, may de-
eide to do something about the Boston
case.
Fans in the Hub have appealed to him
TO get Harry FraZee out since the pres1-
dent of the Red SOx traded away four
of his greatest stars.
Johnson would like to do something.
There Is no question about that. He has
been wanting to do something to FraZee
for several years. But what can he do?
Since the theatrical manager came in
to possession of the Boston franchise he
has been more or less a thorn in John
sons side; His tendency to wreck"
American League prestige in Boston, one
of the greatest baseball cities in the
country, by constantly trading and sell
ing star players aroused Bans enmity.
Then FraZee came into everlasting dis
himself with she New York Yanks and
the Chicago White Sox in the three-cor-
nered fight with Johnson over the sale
Of Carl Mays.
If Frazee showed an inclination to curl
up under fire, he would be an easy vic
tim Of the custer movement, but he says
now that he never will give. up the club
If they feel that way about ii.
There is no doubt that there is weight
70 arguments of both sides. If Frazee
felt that he was making his club stronger
his motive is above reproach If he was
actuated by mercernary purposes. and
it does look that way, Boston is right
in wanting a change of regime.
The proposed boycott of the American
League asked by some of the Hubs big
gest men might produce results, especially
II the National League should step out
next season and do something. Baseball
men do not agree, however, that the Red
SoX are hopeless wreck. ANY club that
can play six or seven 800 hitters every
day is no second Hvision club.
The deal by which the New York
Ianks acquired three great players
OF doubtful value was not accomplished,
as the interested magnates wished the
public to believe, without the influence
of a bundle Of coin, 1t. is said. It was
learned yesterday that Rupert and
Huston. the Yank bosses, not only gave
up four men but placed an amount in
excess Of 100000 to the credit of Frazee,
Boston club president.
The money angle was suppressed be-
cause of the attitude of the Boston fans
toward Frazee. The latter stirred up
a whale of a mess when he disposed
Of Babe Ruth, and the same thing Is
happening again despite the fact that
the fans were led to believe Frazee
made the recent trade merely as one
that would strengthen his ball club.
Judging by the past performances of
the players in the deal, he not only hurt
his team but made the Yanks a cinch
for pennant honOrs in 1922
Looking back a few weeks one recalls
4 statement by one of the Yankee own
ers that the club would have two great
pitchers in 1922 and it would cost money
to get them. No names were mentioned
at the time. However, the magnate had
reference to the deal which hung fire
until few days ago, it is believed.
