(By Universal Service.)
CHICAGO, Feb. 12 —Ban Johnson
is no longer czar of the American
J.eague. At Wednesday's meeting he
was shorn of his powers, Cel. Jacob
Ruppert and Clark Griffith being ap
pointed as a committee of review with
final and binding powers to review
any penalties and fines in excess of
SIOO and ten days' suspension.
Johnson retains the nominal title
of president and his former salury of
330,000, but, according to report cur
rent Wednesday night, his pride has
been hurt to such an extent that he
contemplates resigning in the next
few weeks.
Other developments were: The dis
‘missal of all litigation instituted by
the Yankee club: reinstatement of
Carl Mays as a member of the New
York club, and recommendation that
‘the National Commission award thira
place in the American League race to
‘the Yankees and third place prize
money to the Yankee prayers.
. BAN MUT BE OUSTED.
. Johnson's demotion was brought
about at an informal meeting Tues
‘day, at which the insurgents laid
Jthelr case before Johnson's ‘“‘faithful
five” and convinced them that Ban
must be ousted. After that it was
only a question of administering the
coup in such a way as to avold en
‘dangering discipline,
¢ “However, when Ban does resign,
Ahere is no doubt that the club own
ors will award him a pension, as a
reward for his loyalty and energy in
“farmer years. :

| ty-nine ball players, veterans and the
amtitious youths from the tall uncut
will assemble at Birmingham, Ala.,
on March 7 and untul April 3 will
train and fight for positions on the
1920 Phil outfit.
The team leaves here on March §
for the metropols of Alabama and
lwhen Gavvy calls roll call on March
7 he will have eleven pitchers, three
‘utcheru, nine infielders and six out
fielders without including himself In
the latter group. The majority of the
,Phfla will be veterans tried and true,
but there is just enoush sprinkling of
Iyoun‘ blood In the cast to arouse the
fans' curiosity as to the prospects of
those youngsters shoving some of the
“vets” off the team and taking the
jobs themselves.
Of the eleven pitchers six are am
bitious youths. They are Roy San
ders, purchased from Pittsburg:,
Cantwell, Thornton, Weinert, Lingull
and Betts. The rest of the hurling
staff Includes the well known Eppa
Rixey, lLee Meadows, Bradley Hogg,
Gieorge mith and “Red” Murray.
Leon “Red” Ames, secured from the
Bt. louig Cards last fall, is among
the missing on the pitchers’ list. Lar
ry Chaney has been given his un
conditional release, but nothing has
been sald about Ames. ¥
Jack Adams and Walter Tragresser
are the two veteran catchers who
will do the bulk of the work in handl
ing the eleven slabbists, Then there
18 a new one by nmame of Witherdn.
‘who will help out. ‘ |
- R. J. Miller, Heilman and Russell
Wrightstone are the new acqulsi
tions to the infield. These youngsters
are combating against Fred Lufierun.
Jene Paulette, Davyv Bancroft, Russell
Blackburne, Harry Pearce and old|
Jack Miller, former alil-around star
of the st. Louis Cardinals, for Jobu.l
Wrightstone is a third bnefinn. R,
J. Miller a shortstopper and Heilman
also likes the left side of .the dia-|
mond, |
In the outfield Gavvy has a world
# geasoned material to Jdraw pk
three regulars from. KEmil “Irish”
Meusel, Fred “Cy” Willlams arnd
Charles “Casey” Stengel are outer
gardeners of{orth and ability. Then
the former home run king has Lee
Ca'lahan, Walsh and LeZ.urvean to
back up his three veterans. Leßour
vean played a few games last vear
with the Phils, during the fading
days of the 140-game schedule, and
showed enough stuff to give promise
of bright proco s for 1920, Stergel
is said to have relented in so far
as keeping out of the big show and
will join the ciub in the South to
fight for that vight field Jjob.
~~ The Phils will spend one week in
morning and afternoon workouts. The
usual ease-up stuff for one day will
gtart them off on March 7; then there
will be dally practises until March 13,
when Cravath will start them against
the Birmln%ham Southern Associa
tion club, be Phils have six games
with Birmingham, March 18, 17,720,

tanooga, Tenn., March 21; tackle
Nashville, Tenn,, March 28: are at
Memphis, Tenn., April 4; then play
at Louisville, Ky., April 5,6, 7 and

10 and 11, then hike for the East and
home.
Jackets Meet
Macon'Y" and
Mercer Teams
The Jackel oagers will tourney
down to Magon the coming Friday
for a brace of encounters. They will
play the Mercer Bagtlun Friday nlgh”
and the Macon “Y" the following
avening. Tech disposed of both ot“
these quintets when they visited At
lanta earlier in the season by nar
row marging, and both games are
expected to be hard fought affalirs,
In the last game with the Mercer
boys Tech won, 30 to 26, and giving
'the Mercer boys the same advan
tage that the Jackets had-—that of
playing on the home court—a’lively
tussle will undoubtedly be the result,
Whitehesd and Morgan are the
Mercer forwards. Both are very oa
pable men, which fact was evinced
by their play when they wer in At
lanta. Qrace,~at center, and Ansley
and Dunwoody at guards, make up a
team that is going to be hard to beat.
The Jackets will present a mych
stronger fuintet than the one that
Mercer or even the Macon "Y" faced
before, even though it is the same.
‘The Tech boys have been playing
great ball in the last few encounters
and the chances are that they wil}
win by a higger score. “Gibby"” Fra
ser, center and rnru\in of the Jack
ets, has been going like a house
a-firq lately, and ne will bear the
largest part of the Jacket offense,
On faturday night the Jackets
will again play the ‘glncon “Y,” which
quintet they sent back home several
lweaks ago with a 28 to 23 defeat.
Both teams are confident that they
will make a much better showing
than in their former meeting. Rentz
and Ricks play the forward positions
on the Macon quintet, with O'Quinn
at center and Newton and Hooper
performing at guards.

WILL MEET
By CHARLES SHONESY. 1
The first meéting of the directors:
of the North Georgia Prep Le-u[uo‘
will be held Friday night at the
Chamber of Commerce dining hall.
The members of the league have not
been definitely decided as yet, but
the team will be decided and also a
schdule arranged at this meeting.
1!( is unlikely that a basketball sched
ule will be attempted, but a base
'ball schedule will be arranged at
either this meeting or at one in the
near future,
One of the Atlanta teams that was
thotight would enter, will not do so.
G. M, A, will not join the league,
according to Professor Sutton, of
Tech High, The cadeta were given
the opportunity, but failed to make
use of It.
LANIER OR AGGIES.
Either Lanier High of Macon or
the Fifth Distriet i and M. will
take the wvacant berth. Rither of
the two schools would enler sirong
teams. G. M. A. has also made ap-{
plication “or entrance to the league,
but-as the directors wish to / held
the membership to six schools, the!
Milledgeville institution hasn't much
chance to pet in.
The announcemenf® that G, M, A,
will not enter has caused much
sorrow to the fahs, us they wished
three Atlanta teams to ba entered.
The league, as outlined before. will
embrace five major sports, viz, foot
ball, basketball, baseball, track and
swimming. This will be an im
‘provement over the present Atlanta
Prep League in that the teams en
tora] are more evenly matchd, and
that all the schools will be forced
te have competitive teams in all
aports suthorized by the league.
BETTER CONTESTS.
This will give Atlanta many more
and better football games during the
fall, and will, in a way, help to elim
inate the wrangles over the State
championship. Tech Wigh and Boys'
High of Atianta are entered. River
gide of Cainesville, Gordon Institute
of Rarnesville, and l.ocust Grove In
stitute of Tocust Grove are the five
sehools that have been assureld places
in the association. The rvemaining
team will be chosen from Lanier
High of Macon and the Fifth Dis
trict A. and M. of Monroe.
This will include the six strong
est schools in the northern section
,nf the State, and the State cham
pionship in all sports will be decided
hy the winner of this league playing
Ilhe undisputed champion of the
Southern section of the State.

Minor Games
In Prep Cage
League Today
Tech High vs. Commercidl, Boys'
High vs. Marist and Peacotk vs.
Fulton is the menu for prep fans to
day. The games are not world peat
ers, 'tis true, but in this time of un
certainties you never can tell what
will happen. .
Tech High should have an easy
time with Commercial. The game
will be played at Tech High. The
Smithies are playing their second
team now, as the first is just recov
ering from a rather disastrous at
tack of flu. It took the Tech High
varsity to deefat Commercial Hlih
ig the last game played between the
two, but that game was staged on
the be-posted court of the Typists.
Neither team has a chance to win
the penant, and Tee¢h High is fight
ing to kee% near the top, hence a
defeat at the hands of Commercial
would prove fatal to the Smithles.
The Boys' High-Marist game is
little better. Boys' High is in a tie
tor the leadership of the league at
present, while Marist {s near the bot
tom. This game should go easily to
the Davidites, unless one of the
teamms make an unheralded slip-up,
which is ont likely. Boys' High will
play Riverside here Saturday and the
scrubs will probably be used against
Marist.
The Peacock-Fulton contest will
not be played. Fulton has stated
that the ywill under no circumstances
play the Bluebirds. This game is
booked at Peacock.
Although the scene of the Marist-
Boys' High fray is still in doubt, the
Fulton High court will probably be
utilized this game.

TO BATTLE
FULTON HI
]
|
1 - By J. C. FIFE JR.
. Coaches Floyd of Marietta and
' Bean of Fulton High are giving their
charges the final scrimmage this
afternoon in preparation for the ¢om
ing title tilt Friday afternoon at the
local ,¥,. M. €' A l'between thé
challengers, Marietta, and the de
fenders, Fulton. Both quintets have
been hard at work during the past
week. 5 |
For the first time in two years the
Marietta girls have the dope in their
favor, having an eight point advan
tage. However, in the face of this,
Fulton High won rather easily from
the Decatur lassies, who surprised
the fans and defeated the Marietta
girls, 12 to 7. A win by Marietta
in this game will result in a three
cornered tie between Fulton, Decatur |
and Marietta, but should the pres
ent titleholders capture he game they
would practically eliminate thé Cobb
Countians from the pennant race.
This year the quintets are evenly
balanced and ene of the liveliest bat- |
tles in the history of the two schools
is expected to be waged. Both have
a pair of forwards that wqQuid do
credit to any girls’ team in the South.
Proctor and Ngville, former College
Park players, are performing at this
position for the Fultonites, while
Capt. Rutl Galley and Margaret Mc-
Neel are doing the same work for
Marietta.
Both teams have the best centers
they have ever possesged and between
this pair a lively battle should be
fought. TFrom a point of experience,
Ruth Williams, the Fulton High tip
per-off,, hag the advantage, being a
veteran of last year, at which time]
she_won all-prep. Miss Gober didn’t
show signs of being a basketballer
last year, but she has overcome this
and the chances are that she will be
heralded as one of the best this year:
Among the four guards can not be
found any better. ‘i‘ranceu Phillips
of Fulton, and Emilie Montgomery‘
of Marietta are a pair that can cover|
\Lhe floor in fine stvle defensively, and
can come down the flpor and shoot
goals should the forwards be too
closely guarded. Miss Leake and
Doris (ged) Walker, are the sta
tionary guards of the two quintets.
Decatur High should have little
trouble in getting the better of the
gcore in the game with the Wood
berry girls. At the present time they
are tied with the Marietia girls for
second place, with two wing. and a
defeat each. Should the Fulton High
girls capture the game with the
Marietta quintet, Decatur High will
have the undisputed claim to the sec
ond place in the league standing.

NEW {ORK. Feb. 12.—1 f Jack
Dempsey had evaded the dr.alt law
during the 'war, and "merits the
charges of slacker brought against
him by. several posts of thg Ameri
can Legion, and John S. Smith, com
missioner of boxing in the State of
New Jersey, the special committee
appointed by the army, navy and c}—
vilian bogrd of boxing control will
make the fact clear to the public.
If the champion was not guilty of
draft dodging, a clean bill of health
will be given him by the boxing
board. :
At a preliminary .meeting of the
special committee heer, this after
noon, the members dec}ded that the
scope of their investigation would be
confined only to whether Dempsey]
had evaded the draft law.

Across Ocean
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Uncle
Sams heavy income taxes may
give John Bull first call on the
Dempsey-Carpentier fight for
the world’s championship. A
representative of Dempsey called
on Willam H. Edwards, collec

The colleetor -got busy with
his pad and pencil and repli.i:
The normal tax on $500,600 is
$40,840, and the sur-tax $263,510,
making a total of $304,350.”
“Whew!” said Dempsey’s
agent. “That means that if
Dempsey should get $500,000 for
fighting Carpentier he would ac

Dempsey’s man departed with
a thoughtful look on his face,

‘good, strong team, which has licked
most of the best quintets in ‘this
}secuon. However, when they clash
with the Bean boys they are meet
;mg a .team of stars, and one that
|ha.s an excellent chance of carrying
loft the championship of these United
'Statea.
The club five has not lost a game
'this year, numbering among its vic
'tims such strong teams as Illinois
'A. C., Birmingham A. C., twice; Au
| burn, twice: Spartanburg Y. M. C. A,
