Clarke Grifith's blast against Com
missioner lands shows that party

Ing the New York Yanks and the

should have commended the big loss.
Lands is attempting 10 divorce

seems that he IS stepping on some

While there are several angles to
consider, one feasible one IS that Ban
Johnson found his opportunity 20 let
a volley fly at the commissioner and
used Griffith for his medium.
Johnson never was in favor Of the
commissioner idea Of running base
ball. but he was blackjacked into IL
by the National league. What re-
sentiment he might bear against the
usurpation of the power he once held
might have been accentuated by the
fact that lands picked out two
American league teams for his mi
tial warning.

missioner should not confne MS

the players. He might give some Of
the club owners his attention.
While he has never publicly warn
