Ho far as world's' aeries ticket are concerned, the National commission for the first time gave the clubs this year (he full right to sell tickets to the world's so lies games In their respective cities. What ll the result? Kvery newspaper In the country knows of the scandal which fol lowed. The Philadelphia club, under the rnlttif of the commission, had control of the tKKt l In that city, yet the com mission ha found that the scalpers were busy there, too.

I can't understand how the American league ever could assuino re sponsibility tor the conduct of the busi ness department or auy other department of th National league or any of Its clubs on their home grounds." Was Mot Ksiierteel. There was a lofig discussion of the resolution before the American league adopted It. F. J. Farrell of the New York club Introduced It and C. A.

To President Johnson tho American lague left the task of stopping gambling ii base ball pools In Ita circuit.
