NEWYORK. July 3.AP)
Under; strong pressure , exerted by
a majority of the club owners and
chiefly because of 111 health, Ban
Johnson, today resigned from the
presidency of the American league.
He will quit the office he has held
since the founding of the circuit
twenty-seven . years .ago, not later
than November 1. and probably
much sooner, -,
Simultaneous with his abrupt
resignation, "which the. club own
ers. accepted 'with regret," the 61-year-old
executive, in a character
istic gesture, , refused a proposal
that he become "president emeri
tus," and retire on full pay under
a contract which ; still has eight
years to run at an annual figure
of $40,000. , .
Ja rejecting an arrangement
which would hare meant $320,
00(j for the life of the contract,
the veteran stipulated in 'his 33
word statement' of resignation
that. his compensation will "end
upon "my retirement."'
Who his successor will be th
club owners did "not decide today
at their, suddenly caNed special
meeting here. It was believed the
magnates were prepared to name
one oflheir own members E.""S.
'Barnard, president of the Cleve-
land club, but decision on his
choice, if it has. been made, was
withheidTn view! of the indefinite
tenure 'of Johnson's reign.
Edward O. Barrow, secretary of
the New Yori Yankees and form
er irviueui oi iiiB international
league, .also . has been mentioned
as a possible successor In spite jot
his own denials. Likewise, there
has' been something of a boom for
Mayor , Jimmy , Walker of New
York, bt Col., Jacob Ruppert,
Yankee owner declared today he
"didn't think Walker would con
eider, the Job," even if it was of
fered him. !
While1 continued ill health, mak
ing Johnson's attention to the
president's : duties uncertain, was
explained by club owners as the
principal reason for. their action,
it: was understood they were con
cerned chiefly with ending a pro
tracted period marked , by . sharp
differences between the .American
league head and Commissioner K.
M. Landis, the last of these con
troversies, growfrfg' ont of the
Coblt-Speaker "scandal" of last
winter, resulted in' Johnson's re-
i tirementlfrom active chatge bf af
fairs, his departure t6 a health

Associated Press Feature "Writer
. ATLANTA , (APj -r.jG.Olf. it
would seem, has a greater hold
upon a certain promising " young
law student than he has been will
ing to admit.
kaying been shorn of the Amer
ican amateur and open champion
ships, the latter only recently, and
suddenly realizing he did not reU
iflh the idea of being without a
golfing fcrown, Robby Jones hast
ened tq the Royal and Ancient
club, St?. Andrews. Scotland, to de
fend hfs British open title.
, Lastl fall, after having made
golf history by holding the Amerf
can amateur and open and British
open all in the same year, Bobby
Jones said he would not go back
to Great Britain. In January, he
came out with the rather unex
pected statement that thereafter
golf was a secondary matter. His
law studies came first.
Bobby had playea.only a round
and a half of golf in two months
and was Jeading his law class at
Emory university. The National
open and amateur would be his
only -tournaments of the year, he
said. Besides, was It not abOut
lime for a man with a wife and
two children to give more atten
tion to the serious business of pre
paring for a profession, he rea
soned. "Perhaps I will never go back
to England to play for the. British
title, as much as I would like to."
be said. "I can not see. however
how a couple of tournaments a
year- will hinder me. They will
require one week each and I
think any man is entitled to two
weeks vacation."
And about this time, Bobby oc
casionally remarked . to friends
how fine It woifld be to forget
championshlps-Just to get out
and Qlay golf without any other
thought.
Experts bemoaned that Bobby
was losing his game by not play
ing often, but when be was per
suaded to leave his classes long
enough to participate in the south
ern open, where he left far be
hind a great field of players. In
cluding Tommy Armour, now
American open champion, they
quit worrying.
Tn fact, Bobby , was preparing
for final examinations the few
doubles wil" be competed for only
by Californians and the favored
pair in the mixed doubles are both
from that state.
Jphn Rlsso, one-armed star
from the University of California
and Bradshaw Harrison. San
Francisco, Rlsso's team mate at
California, will play for the men's
singles championship of Oregon
tomorrow. Today. Risso defeated
Sherman Lockwood. California,

BOBBY'S CHANGES
i TO WIN BOOSTED
ST.: ANDREWS. Scotland, Jnly
S (AP)- Bobby Jones' stock in
text week's open golf champion
Ship at which . hewill defend his
British, title; has' been boosted by
nifn points, as n; result of "three
practice rounds of 68, 73 arid 70,

British classic will be decidedi,.:
weeks before the Oakmont tour
ney, and played golf only once Or
twice a week. But apparently he
was "on" his game, only to reach
Oakmont badly off and unable to
approach his normal, consistent.
machine-like playing.
After Bobby returned from Oak
mont, he devoted himself to hard
work on the links.
Then the realization the British
open and American amateur offer
ed him the only two chances left
thin year to remain a champion
had its effect. And the call of the
title was too strong to be resist
ed. Perhaps, also, Bobby reasoned
a student who led his law classes
the first term and ftnishedsecond
the next had a right to take off
more ,than a. couple of weeks as
vacation.

In the training grind. Jack Derop
sey today knocked ont two spari
ring partners. in between elemen
tary lessoma in the art of flati-
enffs
. Jack was "loggy" and slow for
nine-tenths of the seven-roupa
drill with his mates. Johnny
Saxon, a tough little welter
weight, stung him frequently with
looping lefts to the head. Tillie
Kid" Herman poked him around
uHth lonr lefts. Allentown Joe
Gans peppered him repeatedly
and even cocked a threatening
right ' now and then while. Marty
Burke Jabbed Jack about as he
pleased.
During that time Dempsey was
in school learning to catch those
lefts on his right glove, to stab
out With a long left in return and
to" sneak In close to a fast mov
ing target for short range work at
the ribs. Jack pulled his punches',
missed a great deal and caught
the Jabs on his face more often
than with his right glove.
But when Petro CorrI and
Italian Jack Herman, both heavy
weights, climbed into the ring, the
temptation to tune up, the , left
hook was more than Jack could
withstand. At any rate the punch
fired wlce and Petro went down
badly dazed. He climbed t6 his
feet ami took one more on the
chin. Petro then retired from
the ring seat first.
Dempsey had no intention bt
knocking out Italian Jack Herman
in the California heavyweight's
first day in camp, but again the
left hook whipped over a short
right '-forward and Herman was
through for the day. He did not
think so when he got up but that
was minutes after he had been hit.
