JOHNSON IS CRITCISED
Four Organizations for Heydler, as
Many fdr Ward New York
Charge Dismissed Major
Swaps to Be Many.
(.Continued From First Page.)
Montreal Club signed George Smith.
Buffalo's manager, last year, as . its
second baseman.
The American League meeting tomor
row is called for 2 o'clock, and President
Johnson says hia organization will be
through with its affairs by 5 o'clock. The
directors, who concluded their delibera
tions today, dismissed charges that the
New York team had maintained a bureau
to disclose signals used by opposing
teams.
Tipping Bureaus Burred.
In dismissing the charges, however, the
board resolved that any manager or offi
cial found guilty of operating a sign-tipping
bureau shall be barred from baseball
for all time. This motion was carried
unanimously.
National League directors did not get
through with their routine work, and will
have another session today, when decision
on a president will be tried again. The
pennant was officially awarded to the
Pittsburg club today.
Philadelphia Fine Asked.
William J. Murray, manager of the
Philadelphia team, tiled a letter with the
board, stating that his contract with the
Quaker club had two years to run, and
asking that the new oflicers be compelled
to respect it. This is required by the Na
tional League constitution.
President Brush, of the New York club,
asked that the Philadelphia club be fined
$1000 for having forfeited a game at the
Polo grounds last season. No action was
taken, and it will be brought up again
tomorrow morning.
Johnson Is Criticised.
President Fogel, of the Philadelphia
Nationals, said on his arrival today that
he was "on the fence in regard to the
election of the National League presi
dent." T
"I have no particular interest in the
election," he added. "All I want to do is
to see what I can do for the .best inter--ests
of the Philadelphia club."
Mr. Fogel said . he did not like the way
Ban Johnson, of the American League,
was talking. He said he had been in
formed by Philadelphia business men that
they believed Johnson thought he was
running both leagues.
The meetings of both the National
League and American League members
were postponed until tomorrow.
LUCAS RETCRXS; NO BALL NEWS
President of Northwestern. League
Talks 'With Dugdale.
William H. Lucas, president of the
Northwestern Baseball League, has just
returned from a trip to Seattle and Ta
coma on business in connection with the
league. While at Seattle. Mr. -Lucas had
a long talk with D. E. Dugdale. who expressed-
himself as hopeful of favorable
action on the part of the Pacific Coast
League, relative to the admission of a
Northwestern team in Portland.
Thus far nothing definite has been done
by the Callfornians on the proposition,
and so far as known there has not even
been a call for a meeting or a mail vote
issued, which would Indicate that the
southern moguls are still as indifferent
as ever as to the baseball situation -in
Portland. ITnless something is done
shortly to relieve the uncertainty of the
baseball situation, the fans are likely
to become decidedly wrathy at the Pacific
Coast League.
A critic at Vancouver, B. C, seeins to
think that Lucas should do something
for the Vancouver Club, which is re-,
ported to be .in difficulties. As a matter
of fact. Lucas has nothing to do with
the running of the Vancouver Club, and
if that club, or any other club in the cir
cuit goes on the shoals, it is not his fault
or his business.- Mr. Lucas cannot be
expected to finance the Vancouver Club
no more than, he would be expected to
do likewise with the Seattle Club.
At the coming meeting of the North
western League the Vancouver difficul
ties will be adjusted, that is if there are
any difficulties. Vancouver Is a good
ball town, and If the present owners want
to unload they can . find a market readily.
M'TEIGH MAY SPAR EDWARDS
Promising San Francisco Boxer Is
on Way Here.
Frankie Edwards, one of the most
promising boxers on the Coast, left San
Francisco last ivight for . Portland. - He
is scheduled- to appear before the Ore
gon Athletic Club the night of Decem
ber 21. His opponent will be either
Louis Long or Pete McVeigh, the latter
being Lonnie Austin's Seattle Athletic
Club star who recently met Long in a
fast seven-round bout.
Long passed through Portland Sunday
en route to Pendleton. He did not show
any desire to meet Edwards, so the
management of the Oregon Club opened
negotiations with McVeigh, who will
likely consent to spar with Edwards.
"Jockey" Bennett, who lis matched with
Jimmy Carroll, is working out daily at
Tommy Tracey's gym. Carroll is ex
pected to reach Portland, today. He
has been working out at Mlllett's Oar
