downs remains to be seen. The last
one on the schedule, involving John
son and Commissioner Lands, was
sidestepped by putting johnson "on
leave" and appointing Frank Navin
of Detroit to handle the leagues az
fairs.
Base ball men understood that john
son was to be regarded as a 'presi-
dent emeritus until his contract ran
out in 1885. They started talking
about candidates for the active presi-
dency, among them George Wharton
Pepper and Mayor Walker of New
York. Consequently there has been
no little surprise, even among the
magnates, at the return of Johnson
to active duty,
1t has been the understanding of
Jacob Rupert. as an example, that
Johnson "was out Of Office" so far
as control of league affairs was con-
cerned.

merely served to form procession
