Whether the "Big Train” shall con

on the outcome of a hearing tomorrow
before Base Bail Commissioner Kene
saw M Landis, who will decide if
•lohnson was justified in firing in
fielder Willie Kamm' from the club last
week, lohnson said the action was
taken ‘for the best interests of the
team.” Kamm dented guilt of any
wrongdoing and demanded a hearing
beforp Commissioner Landis.
That- .lohnson? future with the In
dians depended on Landis’ decision
w»s put into so many words by Alva

' No. I haven t, resigned, hut, they

hv Johnson that he "was affecting ;be
play of The younger players with his
suggestions and advice.”
'T know I am right.” Kamm said,

The hearing, which Johnson last
