The American League voted yes

ment, but. like the National League,
favored revival ct the advisory board,
with the two league presidents as its
members.
Endorsement by the American
League completed the unanimous
chorus of base balls approval of
Lands, and in electing President Ban

plain that they regarded the Landis-
Johnson feud of two yeads ago as Il
colsed incident.
Peace Doves to Flutter.
The three club owners who consti-
tute the American League committee
delegated to assure Lands Of league
support have not yet had an oppor-
tunity to carry out their task, but one
of it's members. it is understood, has
talked the situation over with both
I4andis and Johnson and has arranged
for peace doves to fiutter today.
The National Leaguers. arriving
from their own meeting at New Y York,
found the initiative in the matter of
Commissioner Landis' reappointment
passed to them by the junior circuit.
e The American League Landis resolu-
ton indorsed renewal of the Lands
contract of $4,000 a year "at the
expiration OF his present term" ;"

its existence on Lands continuance

the minors. also will be solved by
Lands reelection for seven years
more, and thrown open to controversy
II the pipe of peace is not passed
around.
A return to the Tong" schedule,
opening April II and closing October
9, as advocated by both leagues. is
one of the other important questions
up to the joint meeting today. At
Lands suggestion, the season this
year closed in September, with most
of the clubs unable to play out their

A protest to the State athletic commits
sion by George Lawrence. manager of
Homer Smith. Michigan heavyweight,
was threatened today as a result of
the action of Referee Jack Michaels
in stopping last nights bout between
Smith and Jack Sharkey of Boston,
conqueror of Harry Wills, and de-
,claring Jack Sharkey the victor by a
technical knockout in the seventh
round
Lawrence said that Sharkey had
fouled Smith in the first round by
landing blow to the temple while
Homer was still on his knees. Sports
writer's agreed with him.
Lawrence also complained that stop
ping the bout was unwarranted, as,
for the first time in the fight. Smith
was battling on even terms with the
Bostonian in the seventh and had
landed several lusty rights to the
stomach and jaw.
Lawrence conceded that Shawkey
had piled up big advantage in the
preceding rounds, but asserted that
the Michigan veteran was groggy
from the effects of the punishment In
the first frame and was defending
himself only by instinct until the
sixth when he began to fight back.

board He was instrumental in doing
the forcing.
Frank Navfn of Detroit then was
elected to succeed Johnson on the
board, after the American League
had eaten humble pie, and somehow
no one seems to know exactly what
Navins place is, because no one has
heard much from the advisory board
in the last two years. When there
has been any immediate necessity of
advising anybody. Commissioner
Lands has assumed the role or doc
tor and written the prescription.
There has been opposition to Com
missioner Landis in both major
leagues. despite the fact that the Ma
tional League has stood solidly behind
him as a league. If some or those
who have opposed some of the things
he has done are asked to take a def
mite stand, they retreat behind the
fact that their league governs.
There has been little or no opposi-
tion to the commissioner on personal
grounds. There has been criticism on
other grounds, and some of 1t has
been plenty direct" in private con
versation, which is overruled when
leagues caucus as whole.
The National League played its
politics we'll when it adopted one year
ago q resolution that 1t was solid FOR
another term for Judge Lands. Its
members knew that the Chicago club
in the American League would go
with them. A member of the Chicago
club Is authority for the statement
that Charles A. Comiskey, owner OF
the White Sox,' never would vote for
any man who would be favorable TO
Ban Johnson.
Now a new situation has developed.
1t has begun by the appointment Of
committees by the two leagues to con
suit with Lands after he has been re
elected. Their purpose is to place be.

for which individual members have
been contending, and one of these II

leagues have seen fit to appoint steer

coincidence.
The point now arises as to whether
Commissioner Landis is willing to be
reelected with the fact facing him
that committees are to wait upon him
and consult him in the future, or
whether he wishes to be at the heaG
