New York, Dec, league base ball club owners, flanked by a squad of attorneys, battled for some hours Wednesday in their an nual meeting and when the session ended President B. B. Johnson was surrounded by a new board of di rectors favorable to his policies. The inSurgent clubs were outvoted on every proposition, but went down fighting and serving summonses which promise to carry the dis puted points into icourt, where final decision may not be reached for months. Defeat Resolution. j A resolution to elect a new presi j dent in place of Johnson was de feated, 5 to 3. The new board of directors, consisting of Frank Navin, Detroit; Ben Minor, Washington; Thomas Shibe, Philadelphia, and P. D. Ball of St. Louis, was elected by the same vote and Navin selected as vice president, the Cleveland, Louis, Philadelphia, Washington and Detroit clubs voting in the affirma tive and the Boston, Chicago and New York clubs against. A resolu tion to play a schedule of 154 games in 1920 was virtually all the base ball business transacted from the stand point of the average follower of the game. The session opened with a meet ing of the old board of directors, consisting of Ruppert, New York; Dunn, Cleveland; Comiskey, Chi cago, and Frazee, Boston, with Johnson present as league executive. Trouble developed immediately over the selection of a chairman and Johnson and Dunn left the confer ence. Comiskey was then named to preside, although word was sent to Johnson that if he would return to the meeting he could take the chair, bpt he refused. . .. , . Charges Against Johnson. Those members present then pro ceeded to adopt a number of resolu tions which charged Johnson with exceeding his duties as an . employe of the league. The meeting of the league as a whole followed immediately - and during the first half hour the, con ference was in such an uproar that the commotion was plainly audible In the hotel corridors adjoining the meeting rooms, while from adjacent quarters lawyers and subpoena servers came and went like mes sengers from staff headquarters dur ing a battle. An "Ominous Calm." The confusion was followed by what one of the outer congregation termed as "ominous calm," and when the session finally ended, President Johnson was -one of the first to leave and he was quickly followed by a majority of his sup porters. The so-called "insurgents" remained for further consultation with their attorneys. They refused to make any general statement other than to say that the fight would be continued and that Presi dent Johnson had been served with summons and in three new legal ac tions. While no authoritative out line of these actions could be gained it was understood that they will in volve matters referring to the legali ty of Johnson's long term contract, damages to the New York club and demand for legal fees in connection with a special investigation regard ing in American league telegraph service contract. During the meeting Connie Mack, of the Philadelphia club moved that a resolution be adopted pro viding for a fine of $1,000 for any club which tampered with any play er, the property of another club of the league. This proposition was tabled for a year. A Matter of Record. The resolutions adopted by the outgoing board of directors referred generally to the Carl Mays ease, the cause of the split in the league ranks and the duties and actions of Johnson as president. They were 12 in number, adopted that they might become a matter of record for future action in or out of court. In part they charge an invasion of the powers of the board of directors, wrongful use of umpires' informa tion, ignoring of directors' resolu tions; refusal to aid in the selectiori pf a new chairman of the national commission; violation ot the con ditions of his employment by . the league and declaring his contract of 1910, calling for a salary of $30. 000 per, year for 20 years as presi dent of the league, a violation of the constitution and ordering that Piles-Fistula-CuredWith-out the Use of the Knife No Chloroform, No Ether.

Oaly M. no league funds be used for the purpose of such payments or any expenses incurred by said Johnson. Herrmann May Resign. Before the National League club owners concluded their meeting to day, Chairman August Herrmann of the national commission issued a statement that he was willing to resign from that position which he has held for several years. In a brief speech the Cincinnati club president said he agreed with many other members of both rriajor leagues that no man who is a club owned or is interested financially in base ball should hold such a posi tion in what is virtually the high court of base ball. Will Relieve Situation. "Thirty days hence," he said "if conditions exist as they do today with five men in the American League favoring my retaining the office and 10 club owners in both major leagues opposed to it, I: will resign so as to relieve the situation." This announcement came after Messers. Baker and Veeck, who were appointed last year to recommend a new chairman for the commission, had stated that owing to the unsettled state of affairs in the American League they were un able to co-operate with a similar com mittee appointed by President John son. They asked that their report be allowed- to remain in abeyance. This was agreed to and the com mittee was' continued. Consider New Agreement. President Heydler said that the unanimous sentiment of the league was in favor of appointing a com mittee to consider a new agreement with the minor leagues. Mr. Heydler will 'appoint a committee with" this, object in view, to act with a $om mittee from the American' League. These two committees are to invite a committee from the minors to a joint meeting which is to be held next February, wherever the Ameri can League decides to hold it annual schedule meeting. Should the Amer ican League decide to hold . this fession . at Chicago the. National League ' will go there too, for the same purpose. There was a good deal of discus cussion about the use of the "spit ball" and other freak deliveries. Every club owner went on, record as being opposed to such pitching and a recommendation was made to the joint rules committee, to this effect. In order however, to avoid doing an injustice to any of the old. pitchers who use the "spit ball" it was decided that they should be exempt. A change in the rules was adopted, making a uniform rate of compen sation for umpires in the world series. .

Confined to her bed and under the care of a physician, Mrs. A. C. Shoe maker, 318 North Twenty-third street, whose husband mysteriously disappeared last Saturday afternoon, when he left her and his 4 months' old baby girl to go to the house ot a pupil to give a music lession, hovers on the verge of nervous prostration and possible pneumonia. Kindly roomers at the Shoemaker home minister to the wants of the deserted woman while she frantical ly fondles her chubby little girl baby, whose coming caused Shoe maker such keen disappointment. He wanted a boy, who would grow up and be a musician like himself. "Hush baby, papa will soon be home," croons the half-hysterical mother as she tosses restlessly. "He may have, met with foul play somewhere, or 'maybe he hurt him self and has frozen to death. O, I wish he would write and let me know he is unharmed, even though he doesn't intend coming back," she wailed. "How could he desert his inno cent child this freezing cold weather. What does he think will become of us? My God, I cannot, will not be lieve he has done this terrible thing. He has been so devoted to me dur ing our short married' life. I cannot remember his having said an unkind word to me since we were married. He has always been the very soul of kindness and devotipn. How can a man be so set on having a boy baby that he would cruelly desert his wife because the child is a girl? It seems unbelievable." The infant girl-baby, the innocent source of the mother's poignant grief, lifted its chubby, little arms for the maternal caress, while the distracted mother showered a flood of passionate kisses upon its peach like cheeks. Utterly ignorant whether her hus band withdrew the small family sav ings from a local bank, the woman has been too weak to visit the sav ings institution and such information cannot be given out over the tele phone. Scarcely aware of what tran spires around her, the frail little mother, already far spent with grief and worry, continues to wail: "O, daddy, daddy, do come back to your little innocent baby girl." Up to last night the police had been unable to learn anything of the missing music teacher's where abouts, though a state-wide search has been instituted for him.

FEARS DEPORTING TWO ANARCHISTS 'TO WHITE GUARD' Counsel for Berkman and Gold man Makes Last Desperate Appeal to Save Clients. Washington, Dec. 10. Deporta tion of Emma Goldman and Alex ander Berkman to "White Guard" Russia, would be equivalent to pro nouncing death sentence upon them, Harry Weinberger, counsel for the two radicals, asserted in a brief filed with the supreme court in a final effort to prevent their removal from the United States., The highest court was asked to receive an appeal from the action of Judge Mayer in New York, which dismissed an application for habeas corpus writs. Counsel both for the accused and for the government were permitted to submit briefs. Weinberger, in his brief, admitted that his clients were anarchists, but contended there was insufficient evidence to warrant deportation and charged that the secretary of labor "exceeded his jurisdiction" in issu ing deportation order. Constitution ality of the statutes under which it was issued also was attacked, and at this point counsel said that de portation to the "White Guard" country would be equivalent to a death sentence. "Discontent based on economic basis,' 'the brief said, "are not solved by jails, injunctions or banishments now called deportations. "As a 'matter of fact, these Rus sian aliens, harried and bullied and jailed, are willing to go back to Rus sia at once if the inhuman blockade against Russia is raised, or even if the doors were opened to allow them to go at their own expense to their own country." Any action which would delay de portation was opposed in the govern ment's brief which declared the de fendants a menace to society. Should the appeal be granted the govern ment asked that bail be refused pending final determination. , In granting Weinberger permis sion to seek an appeal for error, Judge Mayer gave him until 4 p. m. Thursday to perfect his writ, and it was believed the supreme court would take notice of this in reaching a decision. t Stromsburg Enforcing New Coal Restrictions Stromsburg, Neb., Dec. 10.
