Plft SUIT AGAINST JOHNSON IS GRANDSTAND PLAY BY NEW YORK O WNERSl . Loolcs as if Court Proceedings Are Being Pulled to Effect Compromise Before Joint Meeting of Leagues in Chicago Next Week By nOBEKT W. MAXWELL Sports l!tor Kienlng Public Ledger Copyright, 1010. bu Public Ledger Co. ' A FTER suffering in silence for several wcelit, bernlmed on n once turbulent sea of baseball, the Combative Colonels Iluppert and Uuston clattered Into the picture, emitted many lusty bellows and the calm and peaceful Ameri can League was transformed into a how lips cj clone. Han Johnson now is defendant in n !?u00,000 damage suit, he faces eipulsion and banishment from the league and the five loyal club owners arc about to be enjoined or something like that because they arc loyal and arc standing behind the president of their league "Don't pay attention to the latest legal move started by the New Torlt owners," said a person who should Know what he is talking about this morn ing.; ."It is merely a grandstand play, pulled nt the last minute to effect a comprpmlse before the league meetings are held in Chicago next week. They evidently figure that some one will he frightened and try to settle things ou1 of court. That will be more or less a uctorj for the insurgents; but, take it from me, nothing like that will happen. Johnson and his supporters will see it through, and if the case ecr- comes to trial some interesting things will be disclosed. "To my mind, the suit is an effort to prevent the Carl Mays case from going to trial. The Yankee owners Know they cannot prove the things they have claimed and will be tery much embarrassed if they arc shown up in court. "I can't see where there. is any claim for damages. The ball park was open all of the time, no effort wus made to ruin their business and, if the truth were known, the Yankees made more money last year than in any other two years under the present ownership. Of course, that is just my own opinion, but I bcliee it is almost right. "Something has been suid about dropping Boston, Xew York and Chicago from the board of director-, this j ear. Thej were not dropped, as I understand It. The directors are elected to sene but one jcar, in order to give ccry one a chance. There arc alwajs two from the West and two from the East. Last year Cleveland, Chicago, Boston and New York served, and this ear Wash ington, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Detroit arc on the board. Next year I suppose the other board will be back again. There has been no discrimination in that case." However, the latest action is not making much of a hit with the fans. They are tired of the scrap nnd want it settled one way or another. Baseball played in the courts is not at nil popular, and the sooner it is over the better. 'Perhaps the Yankees are justified in filing the suit for damages, und perhaps again they are not. At any rnte, the tight has lasted long enough nnd for the SoOd of baseball the soft pedal should be libcrnllj applied. AT TIIST, it seems strange that a ball club unuld try to tic up the - league and icopen hostilities after paying SJ23.000 for one player and facing a very prosperous season. It might he that the Yanks are seeking a shotcdoicn so as to Inoic how to act m the meeting next iceck. Rube Bresdcr Ready to Sign RUBINO BRESSLEIt, the joung geutlemuu who once toiled for Connie Mack and returned to the fast set vin Atlanta, blew into town this rqorn ing, to get accustomed to the bright lights and trolley cars. Itubino has been wintering at the old homestead, which is located at Lock Haen, Pa., and says a pleasant time was had in the acation period. He did a lot of hunting up in the mountains near the old homestead, and judging from his conversation every deer in that section has been brought down by his trustj rifle. Itubino is a great hunter and is proud of his prow ess. lie is here. to kac a few words with dene MrCann, the Cincinnati scout, who also takes a hand in signing ball plajcrs at this time of the year. Gene Is emissary for Pat Morau and is especially desirous of getting Bressler's full name to a contract. Itubino is in a receptee mood, and the chances arc the signing will be successful and without pain. "I received a contract from Garr Herrmann a couple of months ago,"' said the brilliant southpaw, "and I didn't sign it because it isn't proper to use undue haste in business dealings with magnates. I suppose the terms arc all right in fact, I have been treated liberally so Gene and I will have no trouble in getting together. I shall not be a holdout this jear. "The season cannot start too soon for me," continued the port-sider. "I am in great shape and ready to play right now. I wnlkcd many miles while Hunting, nnd that's the bet thing in the world to get into good phjsical shape. "Do I think we will win the pennant again? Surest thing you know'-. Pat Moran is a wonderful manager and has all of the others howling for help. Hi? judgment is uncanny and he never indulges in second guesses. He knows how to handle men and ever player on the squad respects him. He certainly knows a lot of baseball und knows how to teach it. "There is nnother brainy player on our ball club and, next to Pat Moran, I believe he did more than any one else to win the pennant for us. It is Slim Sallee, end, take it from me, that old bird is a wise one. It was he who de veloped Dutch R-euther and Jimmy Ring last season. lie taught them how to pitch the fadeaway, which pulled them through many games. liny Fisher also was one of his pupils, nnd you know the success he had. Sallee is a great fellow and always is glad to help young pitchers. I tried to master the fade away, but had to give it up to play in the outfield. However, I hope to learn it this year." t 0 DUBE says he expects to sec all of the players at the training camp l at Miami, Fta., next month, a? he is confident the salary differ ences tcill be adjusted in a short time. Wharton Would Work Well With Gaston rpHERE is a movement on foot to include Doctor Wharton in the list of J- coaches at Penn next year. Wharton, who is the best line tutor in the country, has expressed a desire to retire, having been connected with athletics at Penn for twenty-sir years, but it is hoped he will entertain a proposition to come back next fall. Doctor Wharton and Harold Gaston would work to gether well, for Gaston is one of the doctor's old pupils. Gaston also probably would be glad to share the work with Wharton. Too much cannot be said about the ability of the famous line coach. He is in a class by himself and no one can get better results from the burly for wards. Wharton knows the ins and outs of every position, both on the nttack and defense, and his services would be invaluable next jear. A new center must be developed and also a pair of good tackles. In 10X7 lie did marvelous work with the line, developing several tar players. Penn should retain Wharton at all costs. "Buck" also would be a great help to Heisman. The new man naturally will have to get acquainted with conditions and would profit by the veteran's advice. Wharton knows the stylo of play used by the various colleges and knows the defense to work against them. 'TAKING it all in all, Doctor Wharton is about the best man Penn could get, and, icith Harold Gaston, the pair would produce results, Gavvy Has Big Job on Hand GAVVY CRAYATH will have his work cut out for him when he attacks the flock of mail waifng for him at the Phils' office. It seems that every kid Who has a desire to break into the big leagup has written him a personal letter, with very high personal recommendations. They come from all ports of the country and every writer is a star. Some wonderful arguments are put up as can be seen from the following letter grabbed haphazardly from the bundle:' "Dear Sir Would like to know when jour team starts for spring training. X am Bure your team cannot be made any weaker than it is, but it can be made lots stronger. I am a great young ball player, with brilliant prospects, who has not yet been discovered by any bcoutH. I am willing to "play my best for you, either at third base or pitcher. VD S.I also can play other positions if you so desire." A STRANGE how the stars fade in a few months. Last year Joe Wilhoit, former member of the Boston Braves and New York Giants, set Crc to the Western League by hitting safely in sixty-eight consecutive games. He was much sought after by the big league clubs and finally was landed by the Boston Ited Sox. He wns supposed to he a star this scaon, but now it's all off. Ac cording to the latest report from Boston, Wilhoit has been sold to the Toledo club in the American Association. J" ON JOURDET has turned out another typical Jourdet-coached basketball -J team at Penn, and it looks as if the Quakers are going to land the Inter collegiate League championship once again. If the Red and Blue cops it will b the third straight title won by Jourdet and the fourth since he took charge of basketball affairs at the University in the season of 1014-15. Lon knows the game thoroughly and has the correct personality for a coach. No wonder he's (mashing records. F'S about time for some one to spring the line thnt John W.

The youngster was dressed in a regu lar A's uniform, but it was too big for him and made him look Blimmer than ho really was. He looked like a mascot, but no one else was practicing at short and he stayed there when the game started. The boy looked about fifteen, but in reality he was nineteen, and although it looked as it a hot grounder would knock him off his feet, ho stopped every thing that came his way. lie was cred ited with two put-outs and four assists, and he dented Ed Walsh's delivery for a single and a sacrifice. It was announced that tho boy's name was Sullivan and for some time he was known as Sullivan becauBo ho was captain of the Columbia baseball team and didn't want it known that bo was playing professional ball. Sullivan was Eddie Collins, rated as baseball's greatest second baseman.

It was announced last night thnt efforts would be made to stage exhibi tion matches between Jitn Barnes nnd Walter Hagen, for America, and Abe Mitchell nnd George Duncan, for Great Britain. It is proposed to play a series of such matches in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chicngo, St. Louis and other great golfing centers. Thise matches will be for the benefit of the P. (5.

JACK TOLAND WINS BOUT OVER HANNON Boxers Forget About Punching for Jaw in Contest at Auditorium Young .Tock-Toland did not have much chances to use his southpaw punch again&t Willie Hnnnon in the windup nt the Auditorium A. A. Inst night, but Tolaud won. During the greater part of the bout the boxer.s appeared to have forgotten that it was not against the lules to aim a punch at an opponent's jaw. Ill this respect Hnnnon showed the most willingness to forget that a blow to the jaw is considered perfectly good form among some of our best boxers. That is whj a decision iq beiug regis teied against him. Hanuou not only ignord Toland's iaw when hitting, but he must have been terribh tired, for he spent most of his timn resting his nrms on the back of Tolancl'b head. This method left Toland with no alternative but to slug to the bodj. The left-hander succeeded in getting oer enough clean southpaw wallops to carry the decision. An unusually interesting preliminary was furnished in the third bout between Harry Stewart and Freddy Turner. Stewart, who is undergoing ,js oap. tismnl tire in the boxing game, staged a spirited nttack that earned the crdict. Turner rallied in the lust round, but his spurt came too late to harm Stew ait's lead t, ,VB, I5,,lok FlcmlDl.' and Indian Russell fought six hard rounds in the scmiwind-up. I'lcming was the victor.
