Dee. 15.—National League club owners will continue to fight to have Ban Johnson removed as the president of the American League when the magnates of the two leagues get together in joint session at Chicago Wednesday, it was reported here over the week-end.

Some of .ho National League men j expressed the opinion Johnson was j not reprimanded sufficiently for his i criticism of < 'ommissioner Landis j the National League when his ■ American league owners merely in i tforse.i the administration of Landis at their annual meeting here las; ! week. If the National League does go; after Johnson in Chicago it may j have the support of Landis and j Charles A. Ocmiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox. who resumed the war with his o!d friend at the meeting last week fitter having been out of action four years. Igindis may demand an apology, and from g.nnl sources it has leaked l out that Landis will demand the resignation of Johnson under threat j that he will give up his job. H. A. C.

COLLEGES’ STAND AGAINST INDEPENDENTS CRITICISED Club Athletic Teams Have Served Fine Purpose and SoCailed ‘Reform’ Move is Termed ‘the Bunk.’ i To the Sports Editor. Th*- Times: He;ie Clark's outburst at the Indiana Collegiate Conferen ie ! meet ini* here last Saturday against the “menace” of “ profesisional” basketball, while aniusiiui to those who know the reaj son for Ileze's “reform movement, is at the same time an un-'alled-for attack that tin- independent teams of Indiana cannot j afford to let pass unheeded.

Considering 'he fact that no In- ! considerable j.art ,f his income in the ial has been derived from of delating In independent athletic contests. the stand of the Rose Poly coach is, at least, surprising. There are many independent has ! ketiiall teams in Indiana. Every ; young man cannot go to college And there is no good reason why a j young man's participation In sport* j should stop because h>- has finished Ills schooling. Move Called Unfair Isn't it a bit unfair to condemn the playing of nonscholastic basket j ball as professional and undesirable ! Just because one coach is not aide to get along wltli an independent team in the city where his school is located —a team which won the State j independent tournament In tills j State last season? The independent teams have 1 | served a fine purpose in (lie past in acting ns fillers in college schedule*. They are. most of them, composed ! of men who have served their time | in the college game, and the basket fans welcome the opportunity to see j them perform. Why is not Coach ! Clark more specific in hfs charges of proselyting on the part of independents among high school players? Independents Not at Fault The writer is willing to admit it Is probably unfair for one college team to play an Independent five in : another college town in preference; to playing the college team at that place, but. that would seem to be the fault of the colleges—not the independents. It has bee >me a popular method of damning an athlete or team to apply the term "professional.” And the appellation is supposed to carry with it all that is undesirable, unclean. unfair and reprehensible. Many of the leading Independent teams of Indiana are composed of players who are In the game for love j of the sport., and frequently at a sac- [ rlfice of time and money.

SOFT PEDAL IS USED AT MEETING ON PRO CHARGE Harmon of Evansville Has Hard Time Getting Action on Ineligibility Accusation —Other Business Transacted, •John Harmon, coach of Evansville College football, brought up charges of ineligibility against, certain players of college teams in the Southwest section of the State during the Indiana Collegiate Conference meeting here Saturday and a vote taken put the matter before the executive commmittee.

It 4vas stated that the constitution and by-laws provided this means for baking up such questions. Coach Harmon and Robinson, faculty representative. found it difficult to get much action. Members Hard to Gather Tho executive committee was supposed to con veno after the regular business meeting, but tho members were hard to get together. It was brought out that Evansville should have taken its charges to tho schools accused and the executive committee asked the Evansville representatives to do that. Faculty Representative Robinson stated in Evansville's behalf that proof ~f charges had not been complet'd in time to put the matter before the offending schools. He asserted that proof was not completed until Saturday morning of the day of the annua] meeting. Hannon Talks It Over Harmon was seen talking to Coach Strum of State Normal and to W. P, Dearing of Oakland City College. It was rumored that the Oakland Pity football coach had been dismissed. The Evansville representatl ves did not present their claims in a vindictive spirit and stated they wished to clear up an unpleasant situation. They did not accuse any college of knowingly violating rules. One of the most drastic changes made at the meeting was the vision readied to play only collegiate ti runs in basketball, baseball and football after Sept. 15, 192a.

PLAYER-WRITER 9 TENNIS RULE IS GIVEN APPROVAL * Stars May Use Names, but Not Titles —Factions Reach Compromise. By HENRY L. FARRELL. United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Approval of the new amateur rule, which will settle the Tilden player-writer Issue, is almost certain to be voted at the annual meeting of the United States Lawn Tennis Association in February. The executive committee of the association approved anew amateur rule submitted by a special committee and the rule provides that a tennis player can write for newspapers and magazines under liberal conditions. Its approval by the executive committee means it will be adopted by the national body. William T. Tilden, world's pb,n, threatened to retire from fg|g eld to H^r amateur rule passed last February which provided that a player who continued to do newspaper work after January, 1925, would become ineligible for amateur competition. The way to the settlement of a controversy was brought about by the willingness of both factions to compromise. The new rule provides that Tilden can continue as a newspaper writer as h,ng as he signs only his name and not his titles. It also provides that when Tilden is playing in a tournament he cannot act as a re -t • - r by attempting to cover the • .gilt news" and the results of tiit- various matches.
