Mr.. Gleason nodded. The clerk un.
locked a cabinet in back Of the stand.
He drew out box of Corona Coronas.
Mr.. Gleason turned to his guest Co

Mr.. Gleason grabbed a handful
Wrap up the box Mr.. Gleason
ordered the clerk. While the clerk
was wrapping the box Mr.. Gleason
brought out the roll again, peeled off
a 500 bill and tossed it to the clerk

When the box was wrapped up Mr.
Gleason handed 1t to Comiskey's sec
retary and told him: Take 'em along.

Gives Comiskey Warning.
They left the hotel. But before they
left the secretary said he had to send
telegram. ell sent it to Comiskey
The secretary told Gleason he would
have to catch an early train back to
Chicago. He left that afternoon. but
before he got back Comiskey had read
his telegram and prepared for the
worst. The message read something
like this:
Gleason rolling in money. Have not
offered him contract. No use asking
him to sign at those figures. Am COM
ing home to explain
The secretary explained. He must
have been thorough in the explana-
ton. for a few weeks later Comiskey
sent Gleason a contract and Gleason
signed at the salary he had originally
stipulated.
Gleason always was clever. He was
a smart base ball man, an excellent
manager. He knew how to handle
men, and by diplomacy he got a great
deal out of them. 1t was a tough
thing when illness forced him to leave
the American League. for no manager
was ever greater asset. Had he been
able to remain, l am sure he would
have continued developing champions
and near champions.

In ducking Graham the champion
suggested that Bushy first meet
chick Suggs for the privilege of try
ing for the title. The boxing com
mlssioners frowned heavily upon this
clever idea and insisted upon Graham
as the boy to get first chance.
Whereupon Rosenberg came for
ward with a demand that his mana
ger, Champ Segal, be reinstated into
official good sraces in New York. that
he be permitted to arrange Rosey's
matches and to handle him in fights.
Segal is under suspension for the
peculiar ending of the Rosenberg
Shea battle
The commission declined TO grant
the bantam kings plea in behalf OF
his manager, so now Rosey threatens
to go TO Cleveland to fight Carl Ire
maine. This looks like a. good shot
for the champ. who is to get, 1t is
reported, $4,000 for his efforts
No matter how this battle comes
out. there is more than a fair chance
that the commission may declare
Rosenberg 8 title void and order a ban
tam tourney TO decide upon his sue
cesSor.
If this should happen and such bat
tiers as Graham, Suggs, Genaro.
Taylor. Sarmiento and a few other
good boys should agree to fight it out
among themselves, the fans probably
would accept the situation in good

1t might be long time before the
deadlock could be broken.
In Chica go. when Judge Landis was
elected to the Office. it was the Ma
tion9l which took the initiative and
practically forced the American into
line. II is stated by one Of the men
who were present at the joint confer
ence held between the owners of the
leagues that It was Neeck of the Chi.
caGn Cubs who locked the door and
issued instructions that something had

nct guarantee what the Cubs might do.
II is said that Neeck has been fore.
most in advocating that the National
League affirm its loyalty and conf
dence in Judge Lands this week, and
that it has been largely his hard work
that has brought the National League
into the frame of mind to announce
It's intention TO support the judge be
fore the American League had a
chance to make move.
American League men have resent
ed such an attitude in the past and
probably they resent 1t now. Had the
American League been grooming
candidate to succeed Judge Landis the
interjection of this National League
naneuver into base ball politics might
have the effect of making any man
who would run in behalf of the Amer
lean League think two or three times.
Another shrewd result Of the Ma
tinnal League move is that 1t may
take the starch out Of any intent to
put base ball in the hands of A com
mission. of which Lands would he

mission was to end one-man rule.
