NEWS OR PROPAGANDA

RUMORS OF BREAK IN AMERICAN LEAGUE—rINDIANAFOLIS is Mentioned.

IBy th# United Press] NEW YORK. August 2?.-Troubles over Carl Mays, when the Yankee pitcher was suspended by Ban Johnson and then taken into court through the action of his employers when they asked an injunction against Johnson, serves to bring strongly to mind the fact that the major league circuits have been on the verge of severe shakeups several times within the last few years. There have been plenty of rumors to the effect that the case of Mays would -end in a split that would carry the Boston. New York and Chicago clubs out of the league and Into a new organization that would carry enough weight to smash the American. If there is any foundation for such a surmise It hasn’t yet developed, but It is a fact that the question was given confliaeration. / < . Some years ago there were attempts to prove that St. Louis was not large enough to support two baseball clubs, and efforts were made to have Its franchise transferred to Kansas City or Milwaukee. Only a brief time ago HI**'® w*s an effort to transfer the Washington franchise to Toronto, which w4s all set to bid for the American le&grue club. Baltimore has tried many times to get back Into baseball as a major league city, and has been prevented only by the fact that it never has shown itself equal to the task of caring for a big league club. Now there are reports that Cincinnati will be made to house a new club, and that Toledo and Indianapolis have been given consideration. These reports hinge on the possibility of a split in the American, with the necessity for new cities to replace those shuffled off by the revolting clubowners. [ So far as can be learned nothing definite has been done. The recalcitrant ones would much prefer to decapitate Ban Johnson and go on their peaceful way with a new president who would not act quite so much like a czar. It has been contended that Detroit and Philadelphia would fall over themselves getting into the new outfit should I the triumvirate of powerful clubs decide } to break away.
