This Date in 1920

There is nothing new to report on November 6, 1920. The big sports news of the day was Yale and Harvard playing to a 14-14 tie in Cambridge (Allston, to be accurate). W. J. Macbeth sums up the conflict between the eleven teams backing the Lasker plan and the five AL team loyal to president Ban Johnson. Macbeth’s conclusion:

The big baseball conference in Chicago to-morrow may end in general handshaking. Or it may precipitate the greatest and most costly war of baseball history.
