ing in South Chicago that probably
was the most devoted to one man
in all the history of baseball It
seemed as II the entire South Side of
Chicago could see nothing in base

Johnson antagonized ComiSkev in
later years and that was one of the
disputes between the American League
president and friend that was never
patched up. Comiskey in recent months
has expressed regret for the i'll health
of an old friend but never once has
he expressed regret for anything that
he has done toward Johnson in a buSi-
ness way.
Cleveland grew In population and the
city that had barely managed to sup

it came into the American became a
metropolis of northern Ohio. Dctroi
Sprouted fast and what had appeared
at one time to be the least desirable
of any western franchise in the Ameri-
can League was worth double and
treble what 1t had been. and then be-
came a 81 100000 corporation.
Ban johnson was behind all Of these
American League clubs, in that he had
given his friends opportunity to invest
III them: and AS friends they stood
staunchly by him no matter what he
said or what he might happen TO
undertake. Johnson was careful never
10 do anything to jeopardize what he
had earned in his permanent circuit,
including New York bad location and
all. The American League clung

it would share the patronage of tho
