Friday, December 14, 1923 CURRENT SPORTING EVENTS LANDIS TOLD 'EM HOW TO HEAD IN By DAVIS J. WALSH (L. N. S. Sports Editor) CHICAGO, Dec. 24. It developed today that Judge Landis threw his resignation into the tech, if any, of the assembled baseball magnates at their annual meeting here and informed them that the commissioner's chair was thereupon and thenceforth as vacant as a haunted house. Kind hands and willing, however, immediately escorted the worthy judge back upon the throne, rescued the monarchial crown from the corner whence it had rolled and the king again was himself, more a dictator than ever. This was the same man that was to be called by his right name if he asked to speak out of turn at any time. He was to be uncrowned, unfrocked and disfranchised from further connection with his great power. The judge lost no time in laying himself open for its business at hand. "Gentlemen," he is alleged to have said at the outset, "I have been given to understand that you are disatisfied with my conduct of baseball. I therefore wish you to understand that the job is yours at any time. You may have it." Business of eight National League club owners coming to their collective feet with the assistance that the Landis rule was all very merry so far as they were concerned. Representatives of the Chicago White Sox were equally hasty and solicitous on this score. The rest of the meeting was strangely silent. Seemingly it was still the judge's turn to speak, go he did. INDIAN FULLBACK REMINDS CRITICS OF JIM THORPE LINCOLN HEIGHTS TO PLAY RICHFIELD Manager Ray Ortiz will line up his squad with Lincoln Heights Sunday on the Richfield grounds. The Spanish team has not played for two weeks and will be more than ready to go out and work hard. The old players, Macaray, Reyes and H. Bleecker, are back from Lindsey. Manager Ortiz expects one of the biggest crowds of the season Sunday. Lincoln Heights squad is rated ORANGE, TUSTIN'S PLAY 1ST GAME Orange and Garden Grove basketball teams will untie first knot in the county Tuesday when they play on Tustin court. The three coached Mabel Perier, Orange, Mae Eaton, Garden Grove and Jacques, with their captain Pearl Blybaker, Cora Frick Mae Requarth, respectively today at Anaheim to decide should play first. Both Coach Jacques and Requath of A. H. P. are going to draw as it gives them time to practice. They will play the winner until after vacation. This decision had to be reed since the victory of C.Grove over Anaheim. Garden Grove girls basketball team sprung another sunday when they defeated Hunting Beach 27 to 20 last evening. Playing was as strong as the girls. At the same time this game in progress, Orange defeated lerton, 31 to 5. Fullerton sore to have taken a back set year. They have lost more their games by big scores. OTHERWISE IT WAS ENTIRELY CORRECTION Mistakes will happen.

Also, Manhattan send $1.50 to $12.50, when BUSINESS of eight National League club owners coming to their collective feet with the assistance that the Landis rule was all very merry so far as they were concerned. Representatives of the Chicago White Sox were equally hasty and solicitous on the score. The rest of the meeting was strangely silent. Seemingly it was still the judge's turn to speak, so he did. "Apparently," he said, "I am still commissioner of the National League and the Chicago White Sox, and speaking for them. I will say that I am ready to go to the mat with any one on any issue that strikes their fancy." Colonel Jacob Ruppert, president of the Yankees, who was supposed to have some anti-Landis sentiment under his collar button, then is alleged to have swallowed convulsively and allowed as how he that the judge was quite a nasty individual, all told. It was then that Landis turned upon the silent, but unrelenting Ban Johnson and called him right down off the gallows to such effect that Ban, preserving his dignified silence to the end, walked from the room and did not return. It was the worst beating Johnson has sustained since he came into prominence more than 20 years ago. It also probably was his last attempt to take issue with Landis for the supreme control of baseball. It was said after the meeting that Johnson's silence was prompted by the fact that he realized his banner had been deserted by men who were supposed to have been his staunch followers and that he did not care to make a pretense of fighting Landis with none to back him up. The meetings were dying out slowly and naturally today. The draft was resorted to two more leagues—the American Association and the Pacific Coast League, and only three of the more important minor are now out. They are the International League, Southern Association and Texas League. The new draft arrangement is one which allows minor to draft only those players who have had major league experience. Things have come to a quiet pass when we can look at Europe and thank God for Mexico—Springfield Register.
