MAXWEI.l. Sports tdllor limine VuMIc ledger (orvrlsht. I'JtO, bu PulIU tctocr (, . Chicago, 111.. J'cb. 10 n TVTORE trouble is bicwing for Bau Johnson, the pugnacious president o the ' American League, unless he comes through with some real, regular sug- , ttetion in regard to the selection of a chairman of the National Commission. The National League has reached n stage where it will not stand for any more 1 hocua-pocua stuff from Battling Ban. and if there isn't a showdown at the h meeting tomorrow, the fireworks will be ignited. Members of the Heydler cir- " cult arc in no mood for further dclaj. They want a chairman appointed and ,,,, the 6ooncr the quicker. i" According to gossip this morning. Johnson is not in favor of anybody for the job. He is said to be perfectly satisfied with Garry Herrmann, who, as everybody Knows, performed his duties in a very creditable manner. It is 1 - believed to be his scheme to object to everybody and come forth with Garry's "'! name, telling HejdW to take it or lcac it. In other words, the gossips believe Ban will hold out for bib old sidekick. '" This will get him nothing because Herrmann has resigned. He wrote out his resignation and handed it to President John Heydler. His National League colleague? have, accepted it and (hat cuds the chapter. If Johnson persists in hhi aflcged efforts to put something over or seek further delay, he will be the target for a fresh attack from another and unexpected quarter. This will not r be a bit nice, becuuse Ban has lots of troubles! in his own league these days. There was an informal meeting between Uaker and Vccck, of the National. and Colonel Ruppert, of the American League, last night. Several names were. J -l suggested but nothiug officially was done. In fact, the committee is unable to - jet any place without Johnson's support. Bnu is not at all frimdly with Rup pert, so it's a cinch the Colonel's candidates will be turned down. He probably ', 'wiH view with suspicion the names offered by Baker and Veeck, so the only thing he can do is to suggest his own candidate, " That will put John Heydler on his mettle, ami he is likely to object ; then S.-!' Trill come Herrmann's name and the stage will be all set for the pyrotechnic & display. It's a great life, this baseball. jg . . K$ .

They are scurrying around the lobbj of the Cou Jfc press Hotel, acting like uninstrurted delegates to a national convention. " They converse like politicians who have weighty secrets to impart. Kvcry- 1' thing must be said in a whisper and in every corner you wilr find a couple of A, gents, gazing furtively around and murmuring in each other's ear.

Q? Damage suits mean nothing these days and the magnates had a merry C ICl when they perused the papers. $ "Murphy pulled a bone," they said. "We must come here on February ..- and he must pay all of our expenses. That means a big expense at the start." y But the giggles turned to groans when the merry magnates saw that they hod been made defendants in the suit and not only must pay their own ex penses, but also must hire an attorney to defend thera. Thus the laugh was lost in transit or words to that effect. MURPHY always has been a icwc gink and he has lost none of hi cunning. His suit probably icill get him iiothiwj and his attempt to stop publication of the chcdulr of the Xational League cannot hr ' done. That paper u:ill br spread broadcast tomorrow as per schedule. Stengel Signs Papers With the Phillies - "lASEX STLNGLL now is a member of our Phils He spilled some iuk on a VJ local rontract last night, said he was perfectly satisfied with the salary nr- :t rangement, predicted a brilliant season for himself and admitted he would have the best jear of his career. Steugel blew into town yesterday afternoon. He came , hero to sign the papers and he never missed a stroke V The first person he saw was Gavvy Cravath. who was doing nothing but Mraiting for his arrival. "Hello. Cas-y." said Gavvy. "Hello Gavrv." said Casey. Then they sat down on seat in the lobby and told each other what k great winter they had. After a half hour of this, Gavvy yawned and said, "Thev got a great lake here, Casey " "That so?" answered Casev with mu-h surprise, burest thing you know," retorted Gavvy. "Let's go and take a look at it. Perhaps it will wave at us," he finished, with that bum joke. They left the hotel, arm in arm. and walked to the lake. Then they1 walked back again and reappeared with smiles smeared all over their faces. "Swell lake." said Casey, with the air of a rube who just had his first eyeful of the Statue of Liberty. " "Ain't it the truth?" heartily replied Gavvy. "Come over here and meet a friend of mine. Mr. Stengel, this is Mr. Baker, our boss. Shake hands and step back." Mr. Baker and .Mr. Stengel then went into executive session. They VT selected a spot in the middle of the lobby a huge brown vase five feet tall, with a palm tree growing in it. They were covered by the sheltering leaves ,1 and business was discissed as they leaned against tho bronze. In that aouthern atmosphere, with balmy breezes, to say nothing of hot air, sorae- r thing just had to be done. "Want to play ball next vcarV asked .Mr Baker politely. "Charmed. ' ' I'm ure," was the equally pobte reply. "Want to play with the Phillies?" as the next question. "I would be d'tplr grieved if adverse conditions would deny me that pleasure," sighed Mr. SteDgel. j "Name those conditions and wc will do business," retorted Mr. Baker. i ' "How much real money do you desire?" I Casey named his figure and without hesitation .Mr. Baker pulled out a contract and said. "Sign here." Mr. Stengel attached his name to a one-year contract at a salary of 15000.

Matt Hinkel, Cleveland boxing promoter, has negotiated with Hnrr.v Frarec for the purchase of tho Boston American League club, but the deal last night was said to have fallen through. Frazee indicated that he was open to an offer, but declared bo would sell the club only under the condi tion that the owner support Jacob Ruppert, of the New York Ameri cans, and Charles Comiskey, presi dent of the Chicago White Sox, in their war against Bau Johnson, president of the American League. Hinkel said his offer - was a straight business proposition, and that he did not care to enter into n baseball war. No price was named by Hinkel. WHO Inflehl Ages ffTT looks n bit to me," remarked au observing fan the other day, "that the Reds this next season may suffer from the same thiqg that hurt tho Giants last jear an infield too old to stand up." The Giant infield last scuson, with Chase, Doyle. Fletcher and Zimmerman, averaged between thirty-three and thirty-four jears old. On the Red infield Dnubert is thirty five, Groh ii thirty -one, Rnth is around thirty, and Kopf is the only one below the seam.v mark. The Red iutield is still a trifle younger, and it isn't quite as warworn as the Giants were last year. One young Red infielder of qual ity added to the present list would make the Cluej mnchine almost invincible. But as it is, Rousli, Nenle and Dun enn in the outfield only average twenty fivn. while lHllcr. Ruether and Ring. three of the club's best pitchers, are under twenty-six. The Reds are hardly decrepit yet.
