Ban Decides It’s Time to Quit Office Johnson Calls Meeting for Monday; Founded American League in 1898.. Bn United Press CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 13.—President Ban Johnson of the American League is ready to leave the office t he has held for thirty-four years. Johnson Wednesday night announced he had called a meeting of directors of the American League for next Monday and that he would step out of office during the session. Johnson resigned several months ago, but no date for it to become effective was set. He had intended 1 to leave Nov. 1, he said, but found everything in shape to turn over to his successor and so is getting out earlier. Stormy Career Johnson will leave a stormy baseball career which started in 1893 /when he was elected president of the Western League. He became president of an organization which actually did not exist, but before spring of 1894 he had perfected a league. In 1898, Johnson and other officials of the league decided to expand and changed the name to the American League. Two years later a fight was started with the National League, to establish right to major league classification. In a short time a truce was arranged which resulted in the American League being placed on an equal basis with the National. * In recent years Johnson has been engaged in repeated heated disputes with other baseball executives, and his resignation virtually was forced at a meeting of league club owners last spring. Denounces Landis Johnson denounced Commissioner K. M. Landis, czar of baseball, after the Speaker-Cobb “scandal” last winter, and a week ago issued a statement assailing the policies of Landis and others. Johnson said he had no plans for

Four Games on Book for Friday; Two Carded. Saturday. RICHMOND AT TECHNICAL Noblesville at Shortridge; Others Are Away. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Local high school grid fans are girding themselves for a tough week-end. And, it will be hot. Four games are on the book for Friday, two at home, two on the road and two games are carded for Saturday, one at a local field, /he other away. Friday Richmond will tackle Tech at the Arsenalites’ field while Shortridge entertains Noblesville in the most approved Hoosier manner at the north siders’ new field at Fortythird and Houghey streets. Washington will be at South Side of Ft. Wayne and Manual at Brazil. Saturday, Cathedral will play at New Albany while Thomtown will perform at Boys’ Prep. The Prep contest will be played at the-River-side school’s field. The further the football season advances the warmer the argument becomes between* city high school followers. Tech’s game with Richmond <is attracting some attention, local followers being in doubt as to the Arsenalies’ rating. The east siders probably will walk off with the bacon. Shortridge is expected to encounter a little stiff opposition from Noblesville, but should turn in a victory. The husky Blue and White squad has hopes of keeping its State record for the season clean. The Washington team improves as the season grows older and South Side may bump into some hardfighting youngsters in the tilt at Ft. Wayne. Manual is devoting its. attention to strengthening its defense and may turn in a surprise at Brazil. At least, Manual fans are hoping for such a happening. Cathedral’s powerful aggregation will attempt to wipe New Albany off the map in the Saturday fray. The local Irish have shown a well co-ordinated attack and look like a balanced ball clyb.; Little is known of the Boys’ Prep club. Lou Reichel has been drilling his boys hard this week and a victory over Thorntown is looked forward to. SECRET PRACTICE If If prrxx ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 13.
