Loses Great Opportunity.
FAN JOHNSON Is losing y
great opportunity to regain
some Of his lost popularity
BY not getting in behind his world
champions, the Washington Griff-
men. The triumph last October
was the biggest single thing IN
baseball since Babe Ruth estab-
lished record Of fifty-nine home
runs. And yet Ban, because the
Washington club voted to fnuzzle
him IN his wordy warfare against
Judge Lands, fails to take any
advantage Of present conditions.
For all the life Of the American
League, barring the seasons Of
1912 and 1918, the Washington
club was the ragdolI Of the or
ganization. The Nations Capital
never had q champion until 1924.
Clark Griffith, coming here in
1912, was the first to give Wash
ington baseball reputation. He
made Washington look better than
q joke. And what IS bis reward !?
Last summer, when the Fight
ing Griffs began to make 3 noise
like winners, the entire country
became interested In the pe1lnant
race far more than ever before
This newspaper put play -by-play
stories Of the games on the radio,
right from the various ball parks
around the circuit, and this writer
was smothered by letters OF con-
graduation. Everybody with q
pair of ears and a headpiece en-
joyed that wild rush Of Bucky
Harris and his gang to Washing
tons first pennant.
The baseball fans don't care
whether Ban johnson conquers
Judge Lands or Judge Lands
conquers Ban johnson. They
want baseball. They want ia
know all about the baseball
players and their games. Last
summer, from one end of the
land to the other, they followed
the triumphal parade of the
Fighting Griffs to Washington
first pennant.
Today, in the great Southland
whose fans were kept from seeing
the victory of the Griffs and Wal.
ter johnson over the proud arc
naughty New York Giants, the
fans are anxiously awaiting the
coming spring series. It won't be
q "little world SERIES" exactly
Neither team will be ready. But
those Dixie fans know that they
will be looking at real ball games
between teams of equal strength
each fighting to win.

Johnson, is "cheapening the

Griffith Has Friends.

nRESIDENT CLARK GRIF-
FIFTH has plenty Of friends
supporting him in the posi-
ton he takes. One and all, they
believe Ban johnson to be showing
mere rancor and hatred in attack
ing the honesty Of the coming
Criff- Giants series of thirteen
games.
For several years the Brooklyn
Robins travelled north with, the
Yankees. When it so happened
that each was a pennant winner,
the series was not changed and
nobody talked Of "cheapening the
world series" Of the fall before.
For several years the White Sox
and Giants played spring exhibit
ton series without causing such
remarks, certainly not from re-
sponsible baseball officials.
However, with Washington q
world championship organization
and owned by one Of those mag
mates who agreed to muzzle John
son for the welfare Of organized
baseball itself, the head of the
American League comes out and
charges Clark Griffith with
"cheaping the world SERIES -
which, by the way, was a world
series that Ban johnson didn't
want last October, because Of the
Dolan-O' Connell scandal.
johnson has had his way. Next
year it will be impossible for the
two pennant winners to play a
spring series. But he has made
no friends in this neck of the
woods by his action.
The entire Southland looks to
the Washington team as its own
big league representative, but
who can blame the fans in Dixie
for not caring to see the world
champions playing horse with the
Boston Braves? 1t seems to this
