9 MAJOR OWNERS PATCH UP BASEBALL DIFFERENCES Johnson’s Own League Indorses Commissioner and Big Ban Fails to Kick Back —Other Gossip. By lIEXRY L. FARRELL Fmft'd Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—After ten days of free and loose talking and making wise cracks about Ban Johnson, the annual gab-fest of the major baseball magnates was expected to reach an end here today. Current meetings of the owners have been within a step of an open war and they may end today when the owners get together and try to decide the date for the next meeting.
Commissioner Landis was scheduled to preside over a joint meeting of the two leagues today at which he was expected to hurl verbal rights and lefts at Johnson. But the commissioner could not attend today. r Nother Meeting letter Club owners were to meet this afternoon. The secretary of the conv missioner was to call the meeting to order. Then a motion was to be made by the American League to adjourn until after the holidays. The National League planned to Insist the meeting be adjourned until in Chicago. The commls k >ner may have to wire the final j decision. After the National League had used the ten-ounce gloves on him at j its annual meeting Tuesday, the j American League went after its president. Ban Johnson. "Wednesday with pillows on their hands. The American League owners passed a j resolution indorsing Landis and ap-; pointed a committee- to meet with Landis and tell him what a great guy he Is. Row Hurting flame Ruppert was the sponsor of the \ idea to make peace and he also sug ! gested during the meeting that It' would be well for Johnson to end his warfare with the commissioner, j He pointed out that neither Landis j nor Johnson had any money in- i vested in baseball and that their row was hurting the game. Johnson made no reference to the j charges he made about gambling on the Pacific coast. and the ' resolutions that were passed at the minor league meeting that Johnson he forced to present proof of his charges were not taken out of the i envelopes. Asa result of a resolution j passed to send a committee to make peace with Landis and the National League, it is possible the Landis- j Johnson feud may be called oft for j good.
