BAN JOHNSON SAYS.
BASEBALL WRITER'S
SHOULD NOT KICK
American League President
Says He Did His Best
Under the Circumstances.

CHICAGO. Dec. %. President
Johnson of the American league, in
letter tonight to President f. G. Lieb,
of the New York Baseball Writer'S
Association, in which he asserted
I baseball scorers "in many cases are
grossly lacking in efficiency and re-
sponsibility," advised the baseball
writer's association to put their own
house in order before sending me
scurrilous and questionable COM
plants" on the Ty Cobb hit con-
troversy.
The New York Chapter of the Base
ball Writer'S Association recently
adopted and forwarded to President
Johnson a protest against the latter's S
action in discarding the box score of
the official scorer in a Detroit-Yan-
kee game at New York last May.
In substituting the Associated Press
box score Of the game, Ty Cobb gain
ed one more hit. making his 1922
batting average .401.
Johnson's Letter
President Johnson's letter in part
follows:
Extending through a period of sew
eral years, this office has had much
difficulty in securing the official
scores, and in some instances none
was received after much telegraphing
and correspondence. Mr.. Howe, at
times from sheer necessity. was COM
PEELED to accept The Associated Press
accounts. 1 have clearly in mind an
occurrance of last season. The first
official scorer in a certain city sent
in his reports promptly. From that
point the difficulties of this office
multiplied. Letters, kilograms and
threats failed to produce the desired
scores. The secretary of the club call
ed at my Chicago office one morning.
promptly took him to task for the
II missing scores. Mr.. Johnson, the
official scorer is with the club, You
will have his report within the next
"a hours Weeks and months have
passed. they have not been received.
1t was necessary for me to appoint
scorer in that city. He reported on AZ
games and a check was sent him from
this office.
ITO me it would seem the part of
wisdom and prudence for the Baseball
Writer'S Association to put their own
house in order before sending me
scurrilous and questionable COM
plants"

Joe Lynch Puts 1t
Over Midget Smith
In 15-ROund Match

NEW YORK. Dec. 22-Joe Lynch,
OF New York, successfully defended
his worlds bantam weight champion
ship tonight. receiving the judges
decision after a 15-round contest with
Midget Smith, also Of New York, at
Madison Square Garden.
Smith failed in his game bid for the
bantam weight title, because of his
inability to penetrate Lynch's rangy,
Vlecer defense. The challenger was on
the aggressive most of the time, but
except for occasional swings that
momentarily shook the champion, he
was unable TO land effectively.
Neither boxer scored a knock down,
although Smith once slipped 10 the
floor as they we're mixing furiously at
one time.

Statistics from the bureau Of the
census at Washington, just published,
reveal that Vermont's mining and
qnarrying activities were considerably
curtailed from 1909 to 1910 although
the value Of the product increased

first place in the nation in the produc-
tion Of granite and marble and was
second In production Of slate, tale and
soapstone. Given anything like salts
