Ban Johnson Admits Boston Interest During 1911 14
Ban Johnson testified before Referee Gillespie that he advanced funds enabling James McAleer and Robert McRoy to own the Boston American League club from 1911 to 1914. He stated he withdrew after the club sold to Joseph Lannin in 1914 and defended his communications with team managers and umpires amid the Carl Mays dispute. The New York club owners asserted Johnson’s admissions show his long domination of the league.
