~ ASE BALL history was written
l. when Ban Johnson resigned rs
IN as president of the American
- League at the close OF the l92i
majo league season. 1t was the
last chapter in the long and eventiul
career of the man who had guided the
American League from its infant years
into prosperity and power in the coun-
cils of organized base ball.

II was in 1899 that the Western
League decided to hold another christ

newspaper sports writer. was president
of the Western League at that time.
He continued as president of the Amer

first time in the American League pres

The Western League changed its
name to the American League chiefly
because Charles A. ComiSkcy who now
owns the Chicago White SoX, had with
in his brain the idea OF expansion. 1t
also is reasonable to believe that he
had within his memory some recollec-

to make mark in big league base ball.
Comiskey. the ''Old Roman TO his
base ball friends, was one OF the prin-
cipal owners in the Western League.
His club was located at st. Paul. Old
timers of the West will tell you that
he was the principal leader in his
league. and he was wont now and then
to sit back and tell his cronies that
more prosperous times were ahead.

Or, If there is only one title tilt, final
elimination between the two Jacks. De-

If you have time you should polish
the nails with buffer without any
paste or powder on it for about five
minutes every day. This stimulates the
nails and is Of enormous benefit to
them. It viii help do away with rigid

never let the skin grow over the roots
Of the nails. Buff the nails daily to
improve the circulation about and un-
