Big Ban at War Again Between Baseball Figures
Hartford. Dec. 3. Reports say either Ban Johnson or Commissioner Landis must go, with a showdown anticipated at next week's National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues sessions in New York. Friction grows since the end of the old National Commission, Johnson and Landis clashing over how the game should be run. Johnson has years left as AL president, Landis three years more as commissioner, and both retain influence despite the conflict. The majors may again vote confidence in Landis, while Johnson's removal remains uncertain. The minor leagues are ruled by the commissioner but contribute little to his vast salary funded from World Series receipts and the office's funds.
