LEADERSHIP TRAINING
SCHOOL BEGINS SESSION

SEWANEE, Tenn, Juse 18.--
Sewanee is possibly the first col
lege in the country to adopt an ath
ietic law which places all athletics
and their administration directly
under the control of the university
authorities.
By action of the board of trus-
tees in annual session this has be-
come fact, and it is believed that
the new system will result in much
good to the general athletic inter
ests and that other colleges will fol
liw the trail blazed by the Universe
ty of the South.
The ordinance suggested by Vice
Chancellor, the professor of physi-
cal education, the dean of the col
lege and three other professors to
be appointed annually; that the
board thus formed shall have pow
er to elect annually not more than
six additional members.
The athletic board is required to
report annually to the board of
trustees on the condition of ath-
letics, prepare a financial state
ment and offer budget for the
next year, under the rules.

concerned about saving this Craws'
hay. The plan is successfully car

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Rather sub
dued and with very little to say,
Ban johnson, president of the
American League, today was back
from his vacation. The bombs
which he hurled at Commissioner
Lands and John McGraw all during
the worlds series apparently had
become exhausted for the time be-
ing.
81 have nothing to say right
now,' Johnson said. "There may
be something later.''
He pointed out it took more than
a year to bring out the details of
the White Sox scandal in 1919.
IT don t know what anyone else
is doing about it, he said, "but
/ do know that ! IN going to take
care of my end.'
johnson admitted that he had no
reasons to believe that Cozy Dolan
and Jimmy O'Conne1l were not the
only Giant players involved in the
attempt to get Heinc Sand, the
Philadelphia short stop, to throw
ball game to the Giants. He said
|1t looked funny at the time and it
was very strange two players should
invent the idea and try to carry it
out without having it known to
|othcrs.
Won't Discuss Lands
He refused to discuss Commissions
er Lands, who is more or less of
an open enemy now since johnson
let loose his personal blasts against
the Incompetence" of the base
ball lord.
Last winter Lands offered to
resign when Johnson was making it
warm for him.
Lands is also remaining mum
about the case. He would not COM
ment upon a report that a Philadel
phia pitcher had been called in to
be investigated before the series
started.
Lands insists that he is going to
keep digging into the scandal.
If the commission has to make
public the testimony that was TAX
en- when Frisch, Young and Kelly
were called before him, there may
be some interesting facts made
known.
SO far the public has been allow
ed only what it could dig up for it
self in the way of real informa-
ton about the case.
