Rupert and Mays Case.

IN LSEWHERE in this publica-
ton is longer and more
abusive arraignment of Col
onel Huston, containing many mis-
statements, one Of which is the dec
laration that Colonel Jacob Rup-
pert grew weary of financing SEN
sational deals for star players
without receiving the credit in
metropolitan papers. The state
ment was also made that johnson
blamed Huston, instead of Rupert,
for dragging him into the courts,
where he was deeply humiliated."
Still spreading the "salve." john
son is now trying to make his
peace with Colonel Rupert. For
the benefit of the Western paper,
which has a short and convenient
memory, we may briefly refer to
the Mays case.
Col. Rupert was not dragged
into the Mays controversy. Ii
was he, and not Col. Huston, who
wired a protest Of the suspension
of Mays to Washington and then
attempted to talk to johnson on
the long distance telephone. John
son refused to answer the call. A
day or so later 1t was Col. Rup.
pert, not Col. Huston, who pleaded
with Johnson for hours at the old
Holland House and who finally
walked out after serving notice on
johnson that he would take the
matter to the courts.
It was Col. Rupert, who, when
he was affronted later by Johnson
declared that he would, II neces.
sary, spend his entire fortune
fighting for what he conceived to
be the New York clubs rights In
the Mays case. The affront con-
sisted Of Johnson's curt refusal tc
"sit in the same room" with Col
Rupert in a session Of the Joint
committee appointed to name q
chairman Of the National Commits.

until he almost wrecked his owr

1T was very largely through the
influence of Colonel Huston that
he fundamental principles of law
nd order in baseball were violated
in the Mays case, if we have the
record straight; it was largely
through his activities that attempts
were made in the courts to embar-
rass the administration of baseball
as it must be administered if the
game is to live, prosper and enjoy
public respect and confidence; it
was the doughty Colonel Huston
who attempted to besmirch the
record and the motives Of the
greatest figure in the national
game in the last twenty years, and
presumably he was the man who
prompted the bounding Of Ban
johnson by certain scriveners until
libel suits had to be brought to
squelch them.
