CIGAR Bon Tons 2 or 25c "ft Sdcfe Osar aude NawYerfc Distributed Tsy Glartr Bros. San Bernardino cians of the rust and other close students of the game nre agreed that the present tendencv of the campaign on the part of some of 'the leaders is towaul the retirement of Ban Johnson us president of the American League.

The resolutions have been seized upon by Johnson's i neniles as something with which to work to have him deposed by Commissioner I.andis, who. of course, is the only Individual in otfuial capacity who has any authority to take action. The American League Is just be. ginning to realize some things nbout the granting of power indl Idtially in baseball, and some of the owners, are beginning to intimate, that if their league is to be attacked, there must be a house cleaning in the National League. Not much else than hat has happened could have been expected since the meeting of the minors at Hartford.

The trend since then haa been steadily toward a conflict of in the major circuits. It is certain that any radical move will leave behind rankling bitterness that never will be forgotten. The American League already is beginning to assert that the National League not only is patronizing, but is threatening it, and while the National may have nothing of the sort In mind tt will be. difficult ever to persuade the American Leaguers that that is the case. The latest factor to conic to lisht in the situation is the possibility of a third league.

The move is very much under cover just now, but if both the majors should happen to make the situation just right, there are men who are quite illing to make a try at the establishment of a circuit that will raise Ned with the class A A leagues and pave the way for another of those delightful scraps the National game has revelled in in the past. The very optimistic reports about business in thf; majors in 1924 hae enraged the attention of the speculators again and the good business done in the regular season, combined with tho extraordinary financial success of the world series, has aroused the nioney.jnaking instincts of sports backers exactly us the. same thing happened before. A leader might lay his plans and bring about enough of a disturb- ancc to bring more wrinkles to the I brows of men who have had expert, once with the upheaval of reorganization and who know what a vexing problem it means for them. While Johnson has made his enemies in baseball and ha3 offended many by his autocratic ways, the present thinly veiled attack upon him is turning some sentiment in his direction, showing the instinct of the American League to take the i part of the under dog.

It is urged by his friends in the east and not denied by hi3 enemies that Johnson has always been a bard fighter for honest baseball, and that serins paramount to anything else tiiat may have to do with polities that may be said against him. The fans are not much on politics, though they seem to know as much about it as the leaders themselves.
