NEW YORK, Aug. 4. One of the bit
terest internal fights major-league
baseball has experienced is expected to
follow the developments today in the
case ui Carl Mays, New York American
league pitcher, who was indefinitely
suspended by President Johnson of the
American league for refusal to pay a
fine. The Yankee club officials not
only took steps today to begin inlunc
tion proceedings against the league
president to restrain him from prevent
ing New York using the player, but
also issued a statement in which it
directly charged that Johnson is in
terested in the Cleveland club.
After conferences today with the
New York owners. Colonel Jacob Rup
pert and Lieutenant-Colonel Huston,
find their lawyers, it was stated by
Colonel Huston that the preliminary
action would be to get out an injunc
tion against Johnson and prevent him
from interfering with the New York
club's property rights.
The. club's attorney also took tip the
question of instituting a personal dam
age suit against Johnson on behalf of
Colonels Ruppert and Huston.
Mr. Johnson would not see press rep
resentatives today, but issued a state
ment saying that the meeting of the
American league called for tomorrow
had been canceled. The New York
owners had informed Johnson that
they would not attend the meeting.
President Johnson decTined to com
ment on the charges that he was in
terested in the Cleveland club.
In a statement asserting that "to
permit the transfer of the player to one
of the contending teams for the cham
pionship would lower the standard of
baseball and place a premium on flag- .
rant violations of club discipline,"
President Johnson gave his side of the
case.
After detailing the manner in which
Mays left the Boston club in Chicago
during the progress of a game, Mr.
Johnson said that the Chicago, Cleve
land and New York clubs immediately
opened negotiations to obtain the
player. This, he said, prompted a
vigorous protest from the "Washington,
St. Louis and Detroit clubs and later
from Philadelphia. James Dunn, owner
of the Cleveland club, immediately
withdrew his efforts to obtain Mays
as soon as the argument was presented
to him that for a ponnant contender
to obtain the services of the player
would "lower the standard of base
ball." Ten days after Mays left the Boston
club, Mr. Johnson said, he telegraphed
Manager Barrow of the Boston club as
follows:
"Please explain why Boston club has
neglected to suspend Mays. This must
be done immediately or American league
will be forced to take action."
Rnppert 1m Notified.
On the following day he said he sent
the following message to Colonel Rup
pert of the Yankees:
"Mays left Boston club without per
mission and has made declaration he
will not continue in its service. This J
is a flagrant breach of discipline and
should not go unpunished. Six clubs
have protested that player should not
bo permitted to go elsewhere. To allow
this incident to go unchallenged will
work endless harm to the American
league. Clubs should stand together
and refuse to negotiate for this man."
"I heard nothing more from Colonel
Ruppert and naturally supposed he had
dropped all negotiations for Mays," Mr.
Johnson's statement said. "When the
announcement was made in the news
papers that the player had been trans
ferred to the New York club I was as
tonished. Immediately I suspended
Mays indefinitely and wired both the
New York and Boston clubs to that
effect."
CHICAGO. Aug. 4. James Dunn,
president of the Cleveland American
league baseball club, tonight refused
to comment on the charge that B. B.
Johnson, president of the American
league, has an interest in the Cleve
land club.
"The Cleveland club is a stock cor
poration," Mr. Dunn said. "Mr. John
son, and not I, is the one to say
whether he has an interest in the
Cleveland club."

This Fatima advertisement may help you find the type of ciga

" A TH one e severa forms of

pleasure and solid comfort?"
That is your real question.
And you can answer it best if you clas
sify your smoking likes and dislikes if
you know whether your smote taste is,
or is not, normal, or like that of most men.
So the first thing to find is the normal
smoke-taste. "Which smoke, or type of
smoke, do most men prefer?.
All signs
point
one way
As between cigars and
cigarettes, Chart No. 1 tells
the story the cigarettes
have a "walk away."
This is not merely be
cause the cigarette is, as
medical men have proved,
the mildest form of smoking. Nor is it wholly
because of the cigarette's cleanness, conveni
ence and moderate cost. Beyond question, it
is due very largely to improvements in the
types of cigarettes.
Until about 30 years ago most cigarettes
were of straight American (or Domestic) to
bacco. Then cigarettes of Turkish tobacco
were introduced and the business took quite
a jump. . ..
But these clean, mild, short smokes did not
really strike their ait until "Turkish blend"
cigarettes came on the market. These are
cigarettes containing both Domestic and Turk-

"Turkish blends"
seemed to be the smoke
that this country had
been waiting for.
Look at the increase during recent years
shown on Chart No. 1, and notice the tremen
dous difference in favor of blends on Chart
No. 2.
There is no doubt about it the "normal"
smoke-taste goes .straight for cigarettes rand
for those of the Turkish blend type.
But your

Perhaps you are a Turkish
blend smoker yourself. If
not, your first step towards
checking up on your own

long enough to give the

blended cigarettes a fair trial. ---
If as is quite natural your taste is unlike
that of the majority, you will, of course, go
back to your present cigarette.
But do not do this
simply because your
first two or three
blended cigarettes do
not ring the bell. There
are some pretty bad, as
well as some wonder

smoke:
At Ft. Riley, Kansas, where the
thousands of doctors from all over
the If. S. A. were trained for over
seas service, Turkish blend ciga
rettes were almost the only kind
smoked. Incidentally, Fatima was
far in the lead from first to last.
NOTE i F&tima. contains more Turkish than any other Turkish blend cigarette
"T" Every man's taste is his own and it is, of
course, rather ridiculous to find some cigarettes
actually claiming to suit
the taste of every smoker.
Fatima makes no such
claim. But you owe it to
yourself to try Fatima, the
founder of the whole
Turkish blend family, be
fore you decide on your
final steady smoke.
This is the only cigarette above the cheaper
brands that has ever won a tremendous,
nation-wide popularity.
Fatima's sales nearly double those of all the
straight Turkish cigarettes combined; and no
other cigarette costing as much as Fatima has
even one-half of Fatima's annusl sales. t
Even at leading clubs and hotels and at the
fashionable resorts such as Palm Beach and
Atlantic City, Fatima is today outselling the
fancy, expensive, straight Turkish cigarettes
which formerly enjoyed leadership among
smokers with plenty of money.
No, Fatima does not claim to suit every one.
But its big sales and high standing indicate
tnat. tnis cigarette does come
nearer than any other to meeting
the "normal" taste..
The reason may be that Fatima
contains more Turkish than any
other Turkish blend. This would
mean, in other words, that instead
of containing too much Turkish as
straight Turkish cigarettes do, or
too little as in the poorer Turkish
blends, Fatima's famous blend
contains just enough Turkish
just enough to taste right and just
enough to leave a man feeling
right even after smoking more
than usual.
