AMERICAN LEAGUE CLUBS
TOLD TO KEEP PLAYING;
GAME NOT DEAD YET
Ban Johnson Orders Managers to Continue Schedule
Until Further Notice League Moguls Postpone
Meeting in Cleveland
BASEBALL Is not dead yet.
This Is the latest official statement
of the American League's physician,
Ban B. Johnson.
Late last night Clarence How land,
who has his Chicago White Rox at
Washington for a scries with the Sena
tors, received n telegram from the head
of the American League telling him to
continue to play out the schedule until
further notice.
While It could not be learned definitely
last 'night, It Is assumed that all of
the managers In Johnson's circuit re
ceived the samp Instructions, which they
necessarily will have lo live up to. This
action on ti'j part of Ban .Tohnsnn gives
the old game life after the last sad rites
had been pronounce-d In several of the
cities of the American League.
Barney Preyfuss, of the Pittsburgh
.club, gnve out a statement this morning
ln which he said that the National
League magnates had already decided
that they would play nut the IMS sea
son. While official action will not be
taken until tomorrow's meeting In
Pittsburgh, Dreyfuss's statement In
dicates that there Is nothing to be done
at the meeting except tn lake formal ac
tion on what the Individuals have already
decided upon.
Looked Like Finale
It was believed that the games Sat
urday afternoon between the Cleveland
club and the Athletics were the last
scheduled affair that would be pulled
off here until after the war. This same
view was taken by the fans In Cleveland
yesterday afternoon. Tim Mackmen and
Indians played two games In Cleveland,
nnd the owner stated that after the
double eontrst the gates of the park
would bo ofliclally closed "for the
duration."
In every city on the American League
circuit yesterday where games were
played the patrons of the game were
sure that they had been among those
present when the' swan song of the na
tional pastime was rendered But these
some patrons, virtually all of whom
were hoping against nope that something
would happen to enable the clubs to con
tinue, awoke today to find that baseball
still had a glimmer of life left In Its
body and that there was no Immediate
plan of the owners to close up.
General March at Game
Just what the War Department Is
going to do In regard to baseball Is not
known, but It Is believed that the of
ficials will await the actions of tho bnse
bsll moguls. Oeneral March attended
the gamo In Washington yesterday be
tween the White Sox and the Senators
After the matinee he had a talk with
Manager rtowland, of the Chicago club,
and Manager Clarke, C.rimth, of Wash
ington. The nature of tho conversation
was not revealed. N'olthcr manager wns
willing to make any statement, and
General March-was just as retit-ent. It
was expected early In the night that
there w-ould be some statement sent out
from the War Department, hut this was
not done, so that outside of Ban John
son's orders to continue to play "until
further notice" there were no develop
ments. Th American Lengue magnetos wer
scheduled to hold a meeting at C'evcland
today, but It was postponed, and the
National League moguls were to have a
confab in Pittsburgh tomorrow.
If the moguls of tho major leagues
BOSTON CLUB
FILES ANSWER
s IN PERRY CASE
Admits It Didn't Claim Athletics'
Pitcher Until April 27 of
This Year
Cleveland, O., July 22.
The Boston club, of tho National
League, filed an answer to the suit of
the Philadelphia American League club
yesterday 'Involving the title to Pitcher
Scott Perry, now playing with tho Phil
adelphia club. ,
The suit resulted in a restraining or
der being Issued preventing the Boston
Braves and the National naseball Com
mission from interfering with Perry.
The answer entered today denies that
the rullns of tho National Commission
In giving title to Perry to tho Boston
club was arbitrary, fand alleges that tho
commission's ruling' Is binding.
The answer alleges the B6ston club
made no claim for Perry until April 2,7
this year, because the club did not know
until two days prior t& that date that
he was again engaged In playing pro
fesslonal ball, he having retired while
the Boston club had a thirty-day option
upon his services for $500, with the
prlxilege of extending tho time contract.
The Boston club alleges it notified the
National Commission on September 28,
1917, that Perry was on the club's re
serve list for 1018.
