Ban Johnson already has ruled against it in the American league and it Is presumed the authorities of the National have taken, or will take, similar action. There Is nothing particularly new about the emery ball, it seems, except the discovery that it has been in existence. Two stories are told of this discovery.

In each the athletes figure as the Dr. Cooks. One is that Harry Davis learned the mystery of the peculiar delivery while the Athletics were playing in Boston and that Joe Wood was disclosed as the user. The other is that Eddie Collins unearthed the secret while the Athletics were playing the Yankees and that Ray Keating's carelessness with his bit of sandpaper led to the discovery. Since it was the use.

of the emery ball by Keating that led to protests and the ban placed upon it, the story in which he and the Yankee pitchers generally are concerned Is the one of greater interest.

The complaints made to President Johnson of the American league led to him issuing this announcement: "He who Is found guilty of using emery paper, sand paper or other kinds of rough paper in an effort to win ball games and turn our good little American league into a sand paper league shall be suspended for 30 days and shall render himself liable to a fine of $100." But so far, there is no other ban on the emery ball that is, nothing in the 'printed regulations.
