No Compromise on League Peace Amid Bravely Cast Trials
Dee and Huston, owners of the New York Americans, admitted last week that Frank Navin of Detroit approached rival club presidents Ed Barrow and Harry Frazee seeking peace in the American League. Huston said Navin pressed for an informal Chicago meeting, but Huston maintained the board’s legal gathering was the only proper forum. Navin departed for Chicago after the talks, and club members welcomed a calmed path away from prior disputes. Johnson’s stance on the May case remained a reference point.
