Two Incidents in Baseball Made Johnson and Owner Bitter Enemies." P>U A/..l merrier CHICAGO, Feb.* 1. —The rise and fall of Ban Johnson can be written about what was once a Damon and Pythias friendship. Charles Coralskey and Ban Johnson once formed such a partnership, it twice was dissolved and finally developed into a bitter feud that still exists. Charles Comiskey, once a member of this well-known firm of Damon and Pythias, overnight became relentless. He set out to get Han Johnson, and has succeeded. It was a long battle that finds both men broken in healtii. Wliat price enmity! Was the goal worth it? Started Years Ago A three-pound bass was the wedge that first split the friendship of Charles Coiniskey and Ban Johnson. AVe go back more than a score el' years for the setting of

Health Improves

till I llihll I’irxf CHICAGO. Feb. I.—Ban Johnson, president of the American League, who has been granted an indclinitc leave ol' absence, returned today front a short vacation at Excelsior Springs, Mb., and said he was feeling “much better." He will leave shortly on a hunting trip in Die South.

' what at first seemed mere comedy. | but later developed into the mellowj ost of mellerdrammer. Fielder Jones, sfar center fielder of the. Chicago White Sox, had i been put out of a ball game by fbe late “Silk" O’Luughlin. At the time Pythias Johnson was m Wisconsin fishing. Catching an unusually fine bass, he decided to express It to “Damon” Comiskey. Jn the meantime, "Silk” O’Loughlln had wired the facts of his trouble with Fielder Jones to President Johnson, expressing the belief that Jones should be suspended. It seems Johnson agreed with him. Package and Wire As the express man presented Comiskey with the bass all nicely packed in ice, a telegraph messenger handed him a wire announcing the suspension of Jones. Comiskey was furious, as the suspension came on the day of a very important series. He looked at the fish, then telegram, and vice versa. He finally cooled down to the point where he was able to dictate a wire to Johnson which read something like this: “Fish received, also Jones’ suspension. Thanks. Sorry. Impossible to play the fish in center field.” That wire served to open a breach that for some years caused a deep friendship to turn to bitter enmity. The breach finally was patched up. Jack Quinn Case Then, just when it seemed as if Damon and Pythias were hitting on all six again, another unfortunate Episode developed that killed for all time the kindly fee-ling of the two men for each other and ultimately brought about the end of Johnson’s career in baseball. We must go back to the days of the World War for the facts. The war caused many of the minor leagues to suspend in 1918, among them the Pacific Coast. Incidentally it shot the personnel of the major league clubs to pieces. In need of pitchers, Comiskey secured permission to have Jack Quinn of the Vernon Club of the Coast League finish the season with Chicago. Quinn, then a veteran, was Showing great form. Chipago made a deal for Quinn, only to discover that the New York Yankees insisted on a prior claim. Comiskey wanted Quinn badly. The case was carried to the national commission. Johnson, with the other two members, voting that Quinn belonged to New York. Renews “War” It is said Comiskey raved and ranted for days, declared a renewal of his bitter feud with Johnson, and said he never would be satisfied until he had driven Ban from baseball. Since that time Comiskey has been an arch enemy of Johnson in all things, lie constantly lent his support to the National League in 1 every move to defeat Johnson. When the American League at Chicago recently repudiated Johnson and upheld Landis Charles Comiskey had won.

TRIS ‘EASIER TO HANDLE’ THAN VETERAN TYRUS? That Appears to Be Opinion Among Club Managers— Speaker Joins Washington Senators.

By Henry L. Farrell Untied Prr** staff Corns vault nit NEW YORK. Feb. 1. —Four American League clubs were in the chase after the contract of Tris Speaker, former manager of the Cleveland Indians, and only two clubs have shown interest in the contract of Cobb, once the greatest drawing card in baseball. Before announcing he hud agreed to sign with Washington, Speaker, in conference with Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Yankees, said ho had received offers from the Washington and Philadelphia clubs and another Club that he did' not mention. Cobb, on the other hand, was said to have heard only from the St. Louis Browns and Philadelphia Athletics. The situation * caused baseball to ponder and had the casual fan bewildered. “I’m sure, I can't tell you," Miller Huggin.. said when asked for an explanation. Asked further if the Yankees would go after Cobb now that Speaker has turned down their offer,' Huggins refused to answer. The natural deduction wue that the difference in temperament would make Speaker more adaptable to return to the role of player under a rival manner and that moat of the managers in the league

Closes Net Career at Indiana

Jack Winston

When Indiana downed Chicago on the hardwood last Saturday, the college basketball career of Jack Winston, center and back guard, was brought to a close. The Chicago fray marked three years’ of net competition for Winston in the Big Ten and Coach Dean's squad must go along without his valuable services. Jack was a main cog for the Crimson. He jumped center and then shifted to back guard, where he defended the basket with unusual skill. The I. U. mentor is striving hard to develop a man to fill Winston's shoes. The Hoosiers’ next contest will be. Saturday, with Chicago at Chicago. HOOSIERS IN TOURNEY Indianapolis and Urawfordsville Represented at Miami Beach. Bit Time* Buerinl „ , MIAMI. Fla.. Feb.
