SMITH WARNED
fContinued from Pace Onel

to prevent Smith from taking the
oath if he were given the appoint
ment
If such a plan We're carried out, Mr..
Smith would be stopped virtually at
the door of the senate with nc debate
on either side. He would appear
again on March by right of his
election to the SEVENTEEN congress
and the fight over his seating would
be put off until the first session of
that congress.
The leaders, failing to commit
Governor Small of Illinois against
appointing Smith, centcred their eff
forts toward attempting to persuade
the latter not to accept the appoint
ment if it were offered.
Senator Watson, Republican, OF
Indiana, called Mr.. Smith over the
long distance telephone and pleaded
with him not to come to Washington
as Mr.. McKinley's successor and
warned that IL he did he propably
would be unseated.
Smith was reported to have re-
piled that his case never had been
presented to the senate and he wishf

gument that if Governor Small did
not appoint him in view of his posi-
sion as senator elect, his case would
be injured.
Meanwhile, Governor Small has
declined either TO confirm or deny
reports that he plans to name Mr..
Smith.
While leaders We're conducting the
private negotiations over the Smith
case the senate's attention was turn
d to the bribery charges against
Senator Gould Republican. of Maine,
when Chairman Golf of the elections
appointed to invesu-
gate the new Maine senator, offered
a resolution to authorize his commit

witnesses.
At the same time word came from
Portland. Me-. through news dispatch
es. that Frederick w. Hinckley, State
senator and counsel for Mr.. Gould,
had announced that he would challenge
the Senate's jurisdiction over its
membership and possibly appeal to the
supreme court.

Ban Johnson Back
To Old Role Gar
In American League

Chicago, Dec. 15.--(P)--The Amer
lean League today restored Presi-
dent Ban Johnson to the full power
and authority which the club own
ers took from him two years ago, at
the behest Of Commissioner X. NJ.
Lands.
Seven Of the eight club owners
elected Johnson to the major league
advisory board, which both the big
leagues are prepared to insist upon
reyiving. TWO years ago the Amer
lean league magnates, with the ex-
ception Of Phil Ball of st. Louis, vor-
ed a strong recommendation of the
commissioner and an equally strong
criticism Of Johnson. Today all the
club owners except the Chicago
White Sox restored Johnson to full
sway
Since the time Of the Lands en-
dorsement when Frank Navin of De-
troit replaced Johnson on the ad-
yisory board, the commissioner took
no notice of the two major league
representatives who were supposed
to counsel him on league matters.
The National League representa-
tive has been President John Heyd-
| Ter, throughout the commissioner
seven year term.
In adopting the Johnson resolu-
ton the club owners repeated their
! endorsement of lands for another
F, seven year term. but no mention was
made of an increase in salary.
Until the all-important matter of
renewal of lands contract had
been threshed out the player trad
| ing market was largely occupied
| with dickering between new manag-
| ers. getting terms to be submitted to
the club owners after the league
business affairs had been settled.
/ Connie Mack announced the only
deal of the meeting so far, purchase
| of a minor league outer gardener.
but the framework of large num-
Der of player exchanges waa laid by
the new pilots.
| Mack also issued one Of he only
| two definite announcement heard
on the ivory market so far, that he
had not signed Eddie Collins.
Bucky Harris issued the other
| that Walter johnson would pitch for
| the Senators next year, instead OF
entering the insurance business.

ANOTHER SUIT
FACING CHAMP FOR
BREACH OF CONTRACT

New York, Dec. 15.--(P)-Gene
Tunney. heavyweight boxing cham
pion. has stepped from one court ac-
ton into another.
Although he is free today of the
charges that he violated the state
boxing law by appearing in an I'M
licensed exhibition on local stage
during a vaudeville act. he must ans
wer within 20 days subpoena, pre-
liminary to a breach of contract suit.
While the champion yesterday
heard Magistrate SHERMAN dismiss
charges against Tunney and six 9TH
er defendants connected with his act
on the grounds that the proceedings
were mot instituted in good faith,
the subpoena was placed In MS
hands as the first step in an action
by Tim Mara New York sportsman,
to recover $4,000 he claims due
him.
Details of the action, which can be
settled out of court within the ~
day period, were withheld, but Mara
is said to seek a percentage OF run
news 100000 share of the Dempsey
fight receipts. Mara is understood
to base his claim on attempts 70
gain Tunney a championship match
with Dempsey in New York.
Billy Gibson, manager of the title
holder, said that Mara's agreement
was with himself and not Tunney
and was made while the champion
was in California.
Mara has absolutely no claim on
Tunney," Gibson said. He agreed
to execute a commission and gave
me every assurance that he would
execute such a commission which
I was not in a position to do myself
Mara subsequently failed to live VI
to his promises"
But the proper place to settle the
issue" is in the courts, Gibson said
and not by an exchange of public
opinions.
Meanwhile Tunney and Joseph
Emmett. manager of the theatei
gave exhibitions, were considering
bringing suit against James A. Far
ley, chairman of the New York box
ing commission, on the grounds OF
false arrest.

PREL|M BOXER DIES
after BOUT HELD
| IN MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis. Dec. 15-(P)-Harry
Berg" Berglund. Minneapolis light
heavyweight boxer, who was knocked
out in the last round Of scheduled
six-round bout here last night, died
at Minneapolis hospital early today.
Berglund was knocked down 10
seconds before the scheduled end OF
his bout with Caru Augustine of ST.
Paule, his head striking the mat with
considerable force. Early reports
were that Berglunds skull was frac-
tured. but the cause of death was not
announced at the hospital. He did
not regain consciousness from the
time he was carried from the ring
until he died.
Although George Barton, the re-
fierce, said there was no doubt that
the injury resulted from the fall ra-
Their than from the blow that sent
him down, police at the ringsile ar
rested the st. Paul boxer. No charge
has been made against him, pending
action by the coroner.
Berglund, who was 81 years old,
has taken part in numerous fights as
an amateur. but last nights fight was
his first as a professional.
His death was the second in sue
cessive days to follow boxing con-
test. Charles Pegulihan, French
light heavyweight died yesterday at
Hartford, Conn, following a bout
with Al Friedman of Boston.
In last nights fight Berglund was
knocked down in the first round, but
recovered and as the fight progressed
appeared the equal Of Augustine. AT
times he was even more aggressive
Both men were blood-spattered from
the pummelling they received when
they answered the bell for the sixth
round. With the final bell only IL
seconds away. Augustine shot over a
hard left which dropped the Mime
apolis boy.
Berglund's death is the first that
has occurred in i professional ring
in Minnesota since boxing was first
legalized in the state in 1915.
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fight was
a preliminary to the ten-round main
bout in which Ernie Fliegel of Min
neapolis defeated Stewart Mclean OF
st. Paul for the Twin City feather
weight championship.

MUCH SHOPPING,
NOT MUCH BUYING
AT AMERICAN SESSION

Chicago. Dec. 15.-tP)-Much
christmas shopping but very few
purchases was the net result or the
hrst day Of the annual meeting OF
baseball magnates here. Many
nrices were asked and given on play
ers contracts and some Of these bar
gains likely will be negotiated before
the end Of the gathering.
Between the bidding on players,
the American League cup owners
decided to re-elect Commissioner a.
M. Lands, and then get him to re-
establish the advisory board, and the
league's committee of three started
+odev in season of Lands to talk
over the situation. The Naionai
League at New York took similar
action.
The American League committee
consists of Col. Jacob Rupert OF
New York, E. S. Barnard OF Cleve-
land and Phil Ball of St Louis. Ball
Is known as strong partisan OF
President Ban Johnson Of the League
and it was differences with Johnson
that caused Lands to ignore the ad-
visorv board for the last several
years.
The five new managers in the
League made the player market I'M
usually brisk, with st. Louis In re-
ceipt of the most offers, and Ray
Schalk of the White Sox well in the
lead in bids.
Schalk talked trade for McManus
of st. Louis, Ward of New York
Peckinpaugh Of Washington. o.
Rourke of Detroit, and several other
tnfielders who might be able to MI
Eddie Collins vacant shoes.
Detroit offered three players foI
McManus, and Bucky Harris OF
washington offered to take over some
OF st. Louis surplus catchers.
Connie Mack said he had signed
one minor Lacquer but declined to
discuss his relations with Eddie Col
Inns.
The American League executives
had left on their formal program to-
day the various proposals submitted
by counsel for revision of the con-
stttution, and decision on the open
ing and closing dates of the season
A closing date one week later than
last year, October 2, seemed likely
to be agreed upon, to avoid too many
double headers within the 81 gam,
limit.

it is quite evident. that the report will

1t became evident. with the compile
ton of the report of the committee on

popular with all delegates This was
the sentence which suggested that mo-

Just what lead this will take was
not made clear. but it was evident that
there would be strong opposition to
the Grange going on record as favoring
that proposition. 1T was also quite
evident from remarks made that there
was no unanimity of sentiment for a
