vision also was made to forward copies
of the resolutions to Baseball Commits

Whereas the president of the Ameri-

ruling of the official scorer in New York

tigation, gave hit to Ty Cobb when the
play officially had been scored an error

Whereas this overruling of the off,

Garry May Trade Roush.

Garibaldi Hermann, grind sachem OF
the Reds, and Louis Widrig, treasurer
of the club, !. ere busy feasting on the
hams they brought with them from Gin
cinnati at the Commodore yesterday.
1t seems quite likely that Hermann will
acquire both Rube Benton and Tom
Sheehan, pitchers. from st. Paul. Both
formerly played here-the lefthanded
Rube in the uniform of the Giants and
the right handed Tom in the colors of
the Yankees Garibaldi has a ten days
option on both Fingers.
They have 1t in National League circles
that Garry is here to peddle Eddie
Roush, the center fielder. In so far as
the Giants are concerned, Garry prob
ably Is doing his peddling Just a year
too late. McGraw wanted Roush last
winter. bur with O'Connell coming up
in 1923 1t does not look as IL there is
any room for the veteran here now. How
ever, you never can tell. Stranger
things have happened.
Chicago is after Roush. In fact, quite
a number of clubs would like to have
him. But Eddie already has announced
that he must have $4,000 to play in
1923-and not cent less. How many
clubs would consider a proposition Of
that sort7
Tho expected happened. Ban John
son backed down and decided that after
all It was best for the American
League to do Its annual meeting In
New York and not in Chicago. That
Johnson would yield to the superior
force of Judge Lands and his own club
owners was q foregone conclusion, and
It's best for everybody concerned that
Ban did yield. Talking of war Is all
poppycock. Neither league can afford
to become embroiled in any kind of un-
pleasantness.. It's not a question Of RI
valry-it's matter OF business.
The week of baseball sessions Will be
ushered in tomorrow with the annual
meeting OF the international League at
the Commodore. The circuit will be
changed and It will not be changed-ac-
cording to where you get your informa-
ton. The owners no doubt will inveigh
against the draft and adjourn sine die
or some other way.
