JOHNSON GIVES IN
 ID JUDGE LANDS
Ban Decides to Hold American
 League Meeting at New York

Chicago, Dec. a.--Ban /Johnson, president of the American league. in q telegram from Excelsior Springs. Mo-, to the Associated. Press last night. announced that the American league owners will hold their annual meeting in New York next Wedpes- day Dec. IS. American League meeting will be held iR New York next Wednesday" the message said.
 Johnson's action in surrcndering to the demands of Judge Landis and several of his own club owners took baseball men by surprise last night. Earlier in the day the American lea que head had announced that he had advanced the date Of the annual meeting q day, but had kept Chicago as the place Of the assemblage. This action, although violating strict pro- visions of the league constitution. was accepted as the final concession which Johnson would make, and local base ball followers, therefore, were amaz- cd to hear of his further surrender.
 It is the second time since I.andis was first mentioned as dictator" of oNnSVoi oOuuepU ildb ptch iOII- cd to back down to the former jur- ist One was at the time of Landis' appointment. when only the threat of three American league clubs and the eight National league owners to form n new twelve club league forced Johnson to accede to. the appoint ment.
 Earlier this week Johnson had fiat ly refused to change the place of his meeting despite the fact that in Oc- tober he had agreed to New York, and knew that Landis had issued call for a joint meeting the day after the American league conclave here.
 For the present, then. Byron Ban croft has given in, but it remains to be seen whether he will be so docile or the judge so fereiving at the joint meeting on Thursday. It is not known however, that JOhnsen himself will at- tend, but this is considered likely, now that his own league will meet here the day before. Landis' original pA gram now stands, and both leagues are certain to be present when the judge takes hold of the gavel.

BOSTON HERALD TO
 CUT BASEBALL NEWS
Poor Showing of Red Sox and Braves One of the Reasons Advanced
 For the Plan.

Boston. Dec, 9.--Less and less space will be devoted to professional baseball in the Boston Herald unless there i9 decided improvement In the performance of the two big league teams which represent this city, nc- cording to an editorial signed by Burton Whitman. sports editor of Herald, which appeared in that paper today.
 Last season." the statement said. this newspaper devoted less space to big league games than for many years. The low ebb of Boston's biz league fortunes as represented by the Braves and the Red Sox was reason enough for this curtailment."
 The statement also declared that The Herald was pledged to keep away as far as possible from the "tiresome recounting of the plays of profess sional baseball" asserting that the forced and fictional years about what the big league magnates wilL'do at their business meetings do not have real merit as sport fodder"

|GEIGER REPORTS ON
 OLYMPIC PLANS
Boston A. A. Chairman Says
 Progress Is Satisfactory

New York. Dec. o. ..-- Satisfactory prosress in the preparations for hold ing the Olympic games at Paris in la2A Is reported in n review received by the American Olympic committee here today. Albert Geigcr. Jr.. chair man of the Boston A. A. athletic com inittee who went abroad some weeks ago to investigate conditions from an American team viewpoint said that work on both the stadium and tracks were well advanced.
 Will Be Fast Track
 In his preliminary communication to Frederick Rubein, secretary of the A. Q. A. Mir. Geiger stated that the main running track In the Colombes stadium had been completed and promised to be exceptionally fast by the summer of 1924 Another IS months Of rolling and top dressing with later settling and hardening will. in his opinion provide the fastest track ever prepared for Olympic games competitors and far superior to the track at Antwerp in 1920 which was not finished until after the Am erican team arrived.
 No preliminary practice will be per mitted upon the Colonhes track. 4 special dirt track is being constructed inside the Olympic track and all the training work will be confined to this course in order to leave the main track in good shape for the actual competitions.
 Tho Housing Plan
 Reporting on the probable housing situation for the American team Gei- ger expressed the opinion that the proposed system of small houses to be constructed for the visiting teams would not prove satisfactory from an American point of view. He advises the hiring of a quiet, select family hotel within IS or 20 minutes ride of the stadium to be given over entirely to the United States competitors. He cited several desirable sites both in Paris and suburbs especially Neuiily. V Citing French athletic activities and preparations he mentioned that the French figure and speed skaters, as we'll as hockey players might be ex- pected to make an excellent showing in the ice skating events which will open the eighth Olympaid at Cham oniux, Switzerland, in January 1924. Swimming is also making rapid pro- gross in France and the new natator- ium of the Sporting club of France is stated to be one of the best in the world comparing favorably with any in the United States.

 SCORING CLEANUP
Georgian Alleges Discrimination
 Against Him at New York

Augusta, Ga, Dec. 9.--Ty Cobb, in statement today on the disputed hit in game at New York siast May. which has just been awarded him by President Ban Johnson of the Ameri- can league, declared that the several baseball writers who have so interest ed themselves in the disputed hit also should turn their attention to what happened on my last trip to New York in the 1921 season.
 Let them tell me and the public why it was three safe hits were taken from me during that series and two times at bat added" he said. T would also like an explanation as to why the official score in the disputed hit game of last May was not authen- ticated," he continued.
 Cobb declared this is the first time he has had anything to say regarding scoring at New York during the last series with Detroit in 1921. q have tried to let it pass by" he stated but since they are raising such q commotion in New York over the dis puted hit, let them investigate this matter also.
 "Of course the public understands that I had nothing te do with the fact that President Johnson awarded me the hit in question: Cobb con- cluded but since the aforementioned baseball writers are reported to have threatened to protest this action, would like to have the scoring in that last series at New York in 1921 clear ed up.'
 President Lieb Issues Statement.
 Frederick G. Lieb, president of the Baseball Writers association and the scorer who credited Ty Cobb with doubtful hit in the Associated Press box score of May IS, issued the fol- lowing statement here yesterday:
 The American league had no au- thority to accept the unofficial score Of the Detroit Yankee game played in New York on May 15, 1922, in preference to the official score.
 My failure to agree with the off, cial scorer in the disputed play was due to the fact that it was a rainy afternoon and MT. Kieran, the off cial scorer, left the press stand for the covered section of the grand stand. Had Mir Kieran been in the press stand the Associated Press score compiled by mo would have agreed with the official score.
 Obviously when there was diff ference of opinion between the Avo scores, the official and not the un- official score would have been ac- cepted
 There would be no further need for members of the Baseball Writers as- sociation serving as official scorers. If their scores were relegated to position whenever they. failed to agree with unofficial aver iges. Y"
 Nc member of the New York chap CT of the Baseball Writers associa- | ion begrudges Cobb 400 batting lverage, but the use of baseball rec ,rds will be undermined when rec ,rds are deliberately tempered with n order to favor any batsman, wheth- er he be star or mediocre player.
