Ban Johnson Gives

Chifago Dec. p.PitsstbiIty of z
clash between Ban Johnson, president
of the American League and Commits
sioner K. NJ. Lands was removed
today with announcement that the
Ameican League meeting would be
held Wednesday in New York.
The meeting was ordinarily sched-

day before the joint session of the
American and National Leagues in

The meeting here would have pre-
cluded the possibility of the represen-
tatives of the clubs attending both

Johnson's action in calling the meet
ing in New York eliminates this diff
ficulty and apparently reports OF an
open clash between Johnson and Lam

WANTS NEW MATCH
CBy United Press.)

New York, Dec. 9.-Paving the way
for what would undoubtedly be the
greatest match of the age between
women tennis players, inquiries were
sent to southern France today to find
out how Susanna Lenglen's weak heart
is coming along.
If the French champion is able to
play tournament tennis, Molla Mallo-
ry is going to stalk the elusive Sus-
anne and her title up and down the
Riviera early next year.
The Norsewoman, American cham
pion defeated by Susanna at VIM
bledon in a decisive match for the
worlds championship, considers she is
going out after legitimate rubber"
match. since she beat the French girl
at Forest Hill in 1921.
The match, if it is arranged, should
be closer and harder fought than eth
err of the others; Mile Lenglen broke
down, coughing at Forest Hills, Mol
la was off her game in England. If
they meet again, the American will
have a better chance than before.
Susanne has quite likely gone back,
through lack of fast competition. Her
weakened heart, which led her faith
or to make her stop playing in cham
pionships after Wimbledon, might
hamper her at any time if she met
Mrs. Mallory,
>jMolIa will probably be Just as
good as ever; she thrives on hard work
and years of competition have only
improved her court generalship and
uncanny eye for the base line.
Most Americans would like to see
the women champions meet at least
once more, for the feeling prevails
that Mrs. Mallory has a better game
of tennis to bring to a pinch than she
displayed at Wimbledon.-,--..-.---''

VETERAN JOCKEYS
HAVE BAD SEASON

The season Of 1921 in racing cir
cles produced some sensational
jockeys.
Prominent among the seasons new
stars is Charles "Chick" Lang.
Many racing experts credit Lang
with being the best Jockey since the
days of Tod Sloan. Some compli-
ment
At one meeting in the south he rode
20 winners in q days. He attracted
following such as no other jockey
has ever had at the New Orleans
meetings. He has since continued
his good work.
In speaking of Lang's great sue
cess at New Orleans, one of the book
makers who had been rather hard
hit remarked:
"This fellow Lang is the best horse
at New Orleans. The bettors no
longer pay any attention to the form
of the horse when he is up-all they
want to know is, who is Lang going
to ride"
Another youngster riding like a
veteran is Austin Mclaughlin, son Of
the once world-famed Jimmy Nc
Laughlin.
Pete Walls, Eddie Hummer and
Gantner are other youngsters who
are making good with a vengeance.
Gantner alone is inclined to be err

PACIFIC COAST
DEVELOPS MANY
ATHLET|CSTARS

Coast critics feel there has been q
tendency in the east to dlscreolI
coast athletes That opinion is prob
ably true. Football as played on
the coast had no particular standing
until California walloped Ohio state.
The easy defeat administered TO
the big Ten" champions OF the west
caused the eastern experts TO decide
the brand of football as played on
the coast was really worthy OF at
tention.
When washington and Jefferson
made the trip a great many OF the
eastern football authorities said that
w. e J. was not a representative
team despite the fact that Neale's
team was one of the few undeteated
elevens in the country.
When California was unable to get
better than a tie with w. & j.. the
opinion was freely expressed that
California had been overrated.
True few coast athletes have
been failures in the east, among
them Fred Kelly, who was reported
to have shattered all existing marks
for the 100-yard dash in the west
but who could never repeat his per-
formances in the east.
Many Stars From Coast
But, a great many others did make
good on eastern fields. Willie Hes
ton was found by Fielding II. Yost
on the school fields of California and
taken to Michigan. where he became
probably the greatest player of all
time.
Ralph Rose set weight records
while i'm California high school,
went to Michigan and became one Of
the greatest Intercollegiate athletes
of all time.
Charlie Paddock was the greatest
flyer on the coast, crossed the
Rockies and established himself as
the best in the world.
Howard Drew, the black flyer, did
as well in the east as on the coast.
Muller of California went into the
Harvard stadium as sophomore last
June and defeated Dick Landon of
Yale in the high jump.
Numerous others could be men
toned who have maintained their
standard of merit on eastern fields.
quite enough of them to disprove the
generally accepted theory.

SALARY too Low?
KICK TO LAND|S

III you are not satisfied with your
salary in baseball, take it UP with
Judge Lands"
That is the latest ultimatum the
club owners have handed the ath-
letes.
Connie Mack Is the originator of
the idea, Pitcher Ed Rommel is the
first big Lacquer to seek justice from
Landis
1t seems when Rommel received his
contract from Mack. there was a
letter enclosed which said; =:
1T win be absolutely necessary for
our club 10 play better ball next year
il we are to meet with financial sue
cess. IF the salary offered doesn [
meet with your approval submit your
complaint to Judge Iandis.'
The seasons Of 1920 and 1921 were
supposed to have been basebalfs big
Sest years. Rommel figures if il is
impossible to get raise after two
big years, there isn't a chance for
him.
Evidently Rommel Intends to ac-
cept the def hurled to him by Mack.
Here is what he is quoted as saying:
Il am tired of drawing a minor
league salary with a major league
club. | would welcome a trade or
sale that would take me elsewhere,
/ intend to get more money or
won't play II ! am to be paid a
minor league salary, l belong in a
