Efficiency Shown Early in
Checking Seasonal Stand
ings - Battle to Restore
Equality in Western AssOci-
alton Brings Him Into Lime
light

Chicago, November 3.-(NEA)--
Ernest S. Barnard, a tall, serious
looking gentleman who usually
shuns publicity, is today president
Of the American League, the chosen
successor by magnates of that or
ganization to the portly Ban john
son.
Barnard has been connected with
the Cleveland unit Of the American
League since 1903, having joined
the club then as secretary. He h:s
been president of the Indians since
the death of James c. Dunn in the
summer Of 1922.
Ban JohnsOn's successor, pos
sessed of an unusual capacity for
organization, is fully cognizant Of
the workings Of a major league club.
He has waged and won many warm
political battles in baseball circles.
He seems fully able to guide the
junior major league through years
Of success and prosperity minus the
internal dissention that has pre-
dominated in late years.
Barnard was born in West Column
bia, w. Va, in 1874. After gradu-
ating from Otterbein College in
1895, he was appointed coach Of
that schools. first football team,
climaxing his stay there by a bril-
liant victory over Ohio States
eleven in 1909 by 16-14 score.
Until he was q years old, Barn.
ard had never seen a baseball game.
But it seemed that destiny had
linked baseball and Barnard, and
the first few years Of his manhood
were spent in middle western cities
writing sports for various newspa-
pers. j
His efficiency was shown early.
In 1900, while writing sports, he
noticed that the standing Of clubs
for the Western Association as it
appeared in his columns was differ
ent from what it appeared in other
sport columns.
Barnard checked up and found he
was correct. Days passed; the
season came to close and Grand
Rapids was declared winner of the
pepnant over Dayton by one-half
galhe.
Then Barnard divulged the error.
He was laughed at, at first, but his
claim was proved correct and Day.

The fight that brought Barnard to
the attention Of major league own
ers was waged in behalf of the
American Association and the in
FAINT American League while he was
connected with a newspaper of Col
umbus, q.
Barnard devoted columns daily
and eight solid columns on Sunday
to win for the American outfit its
right for self-organization. The
bugaboo was the strong old Ma
tional League club that sought to
break the American League and use
the American Association as it saw
fit.
Barnard joined the Indians as
secretary in 1908. being hired by
the late John +. Kilfoylc. He was
appointed vice president and bust
ness manager in 1910 Ind assembled
to the presidency Of the club in
1922.
It seems trick Of fate that Bar
nard succeeded the man who once
sought to fire him.
James G.. Dunn, when he bought
the Cleveland club, knew nothing Of
baseball and had employed Bob Nc
Roy as his guide in all matters per-
tanning to the management Of his
new enterprise.
Barnard failed to appeal to Dunn.
He was too quiet and self-effacing.
But when Mercy was forced to
retire, Dunn soon learned that Bar
nard wassthe one and only one who
knew all about the club. So Dunn
put Barnard in full charge, with
Barnard's salary to be what Bar
nard made it on the payroll.
Barnard started to run the club.

Of sports, it seems, whether their

unfair is to criticize = coach hastily
