HE REFUSES TO CRITCISE American league President Thinks Commission Too Lenient and Says Ills Xame Signed to Report AVithout His Consent, EXCELSIOR SPRINGS. Mo.. March 28. Catcher Johnny Kling. formerly a member of the Chicago National League baseball club will be penalized, but rein stated In organized baseball sometime next week, but it will not be with the consent of San B. Johnson, president of the American League. The report of the findings In the Kling case will be elgned toy Garry Herrmann, chairman of the National Baseball Com mission, and Thomas J. Lynch, president of the National League who, with John Bon, compose the commission. For the good of organized baeeball. President Johnson will not submit a minority re port, but nevertheless he has decided opinions regarding Kling'a desertion of the game last year. However, he says. Lynch is a. new man In the office and. if he has made a mistake in this case, which Johnson believes he has, It would only harm the National pastime for him to discuss the National League presi dent's alleged error. Johnson Withholds Assent. Johnson, who Is taMng the baths here, requested today that his name be re moved from the report of the commis sion on the Kling case. "I believe a mistake has been made by the commission," he said, "but I shall ofTer no criticism of the work of Messrs. Lynch and Herrmann. They constitute the majority and whatever they decide must stand, regardless of anything I might say. "It is best I remain silent, especially In connection with the convictions of Presi dent Lynch. He Is a new man in the administrative end of baseball. I have no desire to speak harshly of any error he may make at the beginning of his administration, . Severe Penalty Favored. "At no time since the Kling case came to our attention have I been able to agree with the other members of the commission. I held out alone for Inflict ing a more severe penalty than they were willing to Indorse. We had sev eral meetings and soon It became ap parent that I would never see the evidence in the same light as they. Then Anally the other members of the com mission were able to reach an agreement on what they considered a Just penalty. Their Idea did not coincide with mine. But I informed them they might re turn a majority report and I would re main silent. I learned today my name had been affixed to the official report of the proceedings of the investigation and I Immediately took steps to prevent the publication of the report In this manner. I am willing to let the case pass without submitting & minority re port, but I could not stand Idly by and permit the use of my name in such a manner as to make it appear that I was satisfied with the penalty assessed." No Questions Answered. Johnson firmly refused to give his opinion regarding the truth of the state ment made by Charles W. Murphy that he had written Kling a letter granting him a leave of absence of one year. Neither would he say what the decision of the commission was or how he would have penalized Kling had he won his fight in. the hearing. "The official report of the other mem bers of the commission will deal with these matters." he said. "It is not right that I should discuss their findings." "Is it not true that on account of the prominence of Kling there was a ten dency on the part of the commission to make an example of his case?" John son was asked. "Kllng's case was taken up in the same manner as that of any other player," was the reply. NO OFFICIAL DECISION MADE Herrmann Silent About Kling Case Till Action Announced. CINCINNATI, March 28. Garry Herr mann, chairman of the National Base ball Commission, today refused to discuss the statement of President Johnson re garding the Kling care. "No decision has been reached offi cially," he said. V'and the commission will have nothing to announce on the case for a few days yet." After a long session of the commission last Friday, an announcement was made that no decision had been reached, but that further mail and wire exchanges would be used in an effort to perfect a finding. Since then no intimation has tome from the National commission headquarters here that any change of programme had been decided upon. Lynch Refuses to Talk. NEW YORK. March 28. President Lynch of the National League declined tonight to discuss the Kling case or to comment on Ban Johnson's remarks. M. A. A. C. AFTER B. C. HONORS Club Sends Boxers and Wrestlers to P. N. A.

WHITMAN 15'SHOT OUT OREGON WINS OWN ERRORLESS GAME BY 1 TO 0 SCORE. Henkle Great Hit to Center Field, After Pitching Perfect Game, Takes Contest. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or.. March 28. (Special.) Henkle's scorching smash to center field in te seventh Inning sent Jamison home from second base and von for Oregon against Whitman College by the score of 1 to 0. In a game replete with sen sational features this afternoon. After pitching his teammates to vic tory Saturday, Henkle went into the box again for the Oregonians today and twirled a great game. Though the big southpaw was hit freely, with no one on bases, when the sacks were loaded, his delivery was an enigma to the Whitman batters. Beside winning his own game with the deciding hit, he fielded his position In perfect style. Accepting nine hard chances without an error, the Oregon team played error less ball behind Henkle. For six in nings the game was a pitchers' battle, with Belt of Whitman also pitching fine ball. In the sixth Clark's per fect throw from deep center of Bor leske's hit nipped Belt between third base and home plate, where he was run down by the Oregon field. sClark played a sensational fielding game and made a single and two-bagger In four times at bat. Jamison's running catch, a foul off the first base bleachers and Borleske's work at third were also fea tures. Whitman started a batting rally in the ninth, when Shubert and Felthouse hit safe and Cox walked with two down, but. Henkle saved his own game when he grabbed Peringer's bad bound er and threw him out at first. The victories against Whitman put Oregon at the top of the- Big Six Conference Baseball League. The score: R-H.E.I R.H.E. Oregon 1 7 ojwhitman 0 9 2 Batteries Henkle and Gabrielson; Belt and Johnson. HEYBURN IS ON WARPATH Senator Makes Lone Filibuster for Survey of Idaho Land. WASHINGTON, March 28.

BEAVERS TINGLING TO COMBAT SEALS Portlanders Greeted at San Francisco by Refusal of Use of Grounds. OAKLAND SEES- PRACTICE Mohler Turns McCredie Down-, Cy Moreing Provide Diamond Across Bay Garrett to Pitch First Game Against Henley. SAN FRANCISCO. March 28. (Spe cial.) Manager McCredie and his Port land ball-tossers, who are to open the season with the San Francisco club as their opponents Wednesday, arrived here this morning. This afternoon they worked out on the grounds of the Oak land State League Club. The necessity of crossing the bay to work out was due to the refusal of Kid Mohler to al low the Portland team to use the San Francisco grounds. McCredie Is decid edly displeased at the attitude assumed by the captain of the San Francisco club. . When Mohler refused the Portlanders permission to practice, McCredie called up Cy Moreing at Oakland and was granted the use- of Recreation Park, the State League grounds there. The grounds are in fine condition and Mc Credie and his tribe enjoyed a first class workout. All of the players ware on hand and entered into the sport en thusiastically. Great preparations are being made for the opening or the season, which prom ises to be the biggest in the history of the Pacific Coast League. Baseball is the sole topic of conservation about San Francisco tonight. The arrival of Mc Credie and bis Beaver squad has added to the interest being taken in the open ing. As the Portland team has many admirers here, Mohler's action in refus ing McCredie permission to use the San Francisco grounds has added to the pop ularity of the visiting team. Jesse Garrett will pitch the opening game for Portland, and Mohler has de cided to send "Cack" Henley against Portland. This should assure a hard fought game Wednesday, as both pitch ers axe on edge and ready for the -battle. McCredie today turned Pitchers Char lie Hartman and Bill Chenault over to the Vancouver club of the Northwestern League officially, as Manager Brown- oT that club accepted, hia proposition. The players will leave tomorrow for the North. BALLIN6ER, HIS VICTIM INSANE SWISS WOULD SLAY, SECRETARY ONLY LAUGHED.

HUGHES MAY GO TO BENCH New York Man Regarded as Succes sor to Justice Brewer. WASHINGTON. March 28 (Special.) Although everybody in official circles was shocked at the news of Justice Brew er's sudden death, speculation was In dulged In as to his probable successor. The consensus of opinion, is that the death probably means that Governor Hughes, of New York, will be offered a place on "the Supreme Court bench. When President Taft was in New York State last Summer, In attendance at Lake Champlaln Centennial, he discussed the matter of placing Governor Hughes on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States with friends of the New York chief executive. , When President Taft appointed Justice H. H. Lurton to the court. Governor Hughes was not in a position to accept the appointment.
