| united Press star Correspondent
CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-Eints that
some irregularities existed in the
worlds series of 1922 came today
from Ban Johnson, president of the
American League.
Johnson's reminders of this series,
which the Giants won in five games
from the Yankees. were part of the
| junior league presidents first strate.
gic move in his imposing clash with
Kenesaw M. Lands, baseball's high
commissioner.
Ty, Iris faint
Reiterating his charges that Lam
dis is responsible for the "taint"
placed on the names of Ty Cobb and
Iris Speaker. two of baseba1l's great
est idols, who were dropped from
the American League, Johnson de-
manded to know why Lands is so
content to let that 1922 worlds Sc
ries go by asking a few questions
of reporters. The American League
president added hastily, "If he's con-
tent to let it go that easy, his atti-
tude is worthy of study"
1.-THE American League" he said,
has used and is still using all the
resources in it's power to unearth
the facts about that peculiar series
of 1922.
NOW Lands seems extremely anx.
ious to investigate things that hap.
pened in 1917. 1 wonder why he
doesn't show the same enthusiasm
for the investigation of some of our
recent worlds series?
Personal Investigation
81 Investigated some of the actions
of players in the 1922 series, and the
reports / received make me sus-
picious. Mr.. Landis' zeal for in
vestigating seems to run to scandal
talk of a decade ago"
simultaneously with this announce
ment, Johnson summoned the di-
rectors Of the American League to
meet with him next Sunday. Lands
already had set Monday as the date
for his meeting with Johnson and
the American League presidents. The
commissioner said he hoped to ascer-
tain the true facts surrounding the
Cobb-Speaker case at this meeting.
1t is thought Johnson's session on
Sunday Will be held to allow the
American leaguers to decide what
course to pursue regarding Lands
stand.
All Evidence Demanded
Lands refuses to be the goat
and has demanded that American
League magnates show their hand
Lands demands that the officials OF
the junior circuit come across with
all of their evidence and not put hin
in the middle" with the public.
Johnson was quoted as saying thai
'the American League ousted Cobt
and Speaker, but it was Lands who
broadcast the story of their mis-
takes.
"The American League gave
Lands enough to show why Cobt
and Speaker were no longer wanted
by u.s." Johnson was quoted as say
ing. That's all we need to give
him. l have reports on Speaker
which Lands never will get unless
we go to court"

Negotiations Between Major
and Minor Baseball Repre-
SentatiVeS Continued.

BIZ United Press
FRENCH LICK, Ind, Jan. 49,
Negotiations between major and
minor league baseball representa-
tives over new rules for the ex-
change of players We're continued
here today.
Two closed sessions We're held by
the baseball leaders Monday on the
draft and optional player agree
ments and definite recommends
tons for the coming season were
expected to be drawn up today.
The $500 price paid by the
majors for each player drafted
from the minors was understood to
be the bone Of contention in the
present conference.
Representatives of the Interna-
tional League, the American Associ-
alton and the Pacific Coast Leagues
were seeking to have the draft price
raised to $4,000.
Their stand reopened the fight of
two years ago when they rejected
the $500 figure and declined to
enter the draft agreement with the
majors.
Kenesaw M. Lands. high COM
missioner of baseball who is attend
ing the conference, remained silent
on the latest baseball sensation
furnished by the statement of Ban
Johnson, president of the American
League.
Unanimous approval was given
by the major and minor league rep
resentatives here to the rules rec
commended by Commissioner Lands
as a step toward eliminating further
scandals in baseball. The lands
suggestions are:
1. A rule of limitation with regard to
baseball Ohenses similar to the rule of
linn tatiOn in criminal law.
3. Suspension for one year for offering
or giving n reward by the players or man
agement of one club to the players or
management of another club for service
rendered in defeating competing club.
,. Suspension for one year for betting
on game in which the player does not
part cipate.
4. Permanent suspension for betting on
game in which the player participates.

Mack qualified the Waddell selection

"Waddell was easily the best left
handler of. all time, as far as natural
ability went, and likewise was a con-
sistent winner. Yet between Plank
and Waddell, I would have picked
Eddie for team value.

Change Likely in
Player Award

BIZ NEA Scrrice
CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.--Presi- .
dent Ban Johnson of the Ameri-
can League seriously is consid-
ering a change in the rules that
govern the selection of the
most valuable player in his or
ganization.
Under the present code a
writer expert may cast a ballot
for only one player on each
team. The defect in the sys-
tenn was made apparent by the
fact that George Uhle, just
about the best pitcher in the
majors last season, didn't re-
ceive a solitary vote for the
American Leagues most valua-
BILE player.
All of the experts figured
George Burns more valuable to
Cleveland than Uhle, and as a
result none of them could cast
any sort of rating in apprecia-
ton of Uhle's fine work.
