JOHNSON'S
WALTER JOHNSON'S
JUMP IS TALK OF
BASEBALL WORLD
Great Pitcher, Who Will
Play Wtih Chicago Fed
erals, Likely to Precipitate
Another Bitter Fight.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. -".-Walter
Johnion wilt not play with th Chicago
Federals without a fight by organized
baseball. Thla wa declared today by
Hansg-er Clark OrlflUh, of the American
League Nationals. The Washington Club
today began preparing a. light In the
eourts lor Johnson's services.
"A clause In Johnson's 1914 oontract Is
going to prevent him from playing with
the Chicago Federals." Ortmth declared.
A fight in the courts to the bitter end
was promised by Qrtmth.
A "string" to Johnson's salary contract
this year upon which the Washington
Club will bass lta legal action was di
vulged today for the first time by Grimth.
He said Johnson signed last spring for
12,CC0. -but that he was paid only 19800,
the balance of 12000 binding the player to
aim for 1315.
- Qrimth atated that the Nationals of
fered Johnson J16.000 for a three-year con
tract, but the Feds outbid him. Orlfllth
previously stated he would not enter any
"auction" for Johnson to compete with
exorbitant Federal Leaguo offers.
Captain George Mcurlde wired Grimth
today that he was surprised and dlsap-
- pointed over Johnson's action, but that
It would not have any effect on other
team members.
Washington fandom was not surprised
at Johnson's action. Most believed that
the Feds would secure Johnson after
Griffith announced that the club would
not try to compete with the Feds In finan
cial offers td the "King."
A meeting of the directors of the local
club was called today to consider John-
son's "flop." President Ban Johnson, of
the American Leaguo, Is expected hero
soon for a conference and council of war
of plans for legal action against Johnson.
BAN JOHNSON SORE
In an Interview Regarding- Jumping
of Johnson Doesn't Mince Words.
CHICAGO, III., Dec. i. Ban Johnson,
president of the American League, in an
Interview regarding the Jumping to the
Federal League of Pitcher Walter John
son, of the Washington club, as soon as
ho heard of It, said: "Damaged goods."
"Johnson was already on the market,
and he would not have started the sea
son with the Washington club In the
spring. He became a dead one down
there the minute he announced In the
middle of last season that he would go
where the most money was offered, and
the left a that after the Washington fans had
"let; " " given mm a loving cup run or coin, an
nuiomoDiie ana many otner lavors.
Gratitude? Well his latest action looks
like It.
"No man was treated better than John
son by the Washington club. He was
offered HS.000 for three years, or 16,000
a year by Clark Grimth. This was more
than he was worth, but we wanted to
show that there was nothing niggardly
with us. Even had Washington signed
him. the chances were strong that he
would have been traded, and there was
already a deal on. I am glad the Fed
erals signed hlrrl. They will have a fine
chance to make good on the deal, basing
their Income on what they drew last
year.
"Supposing, for Instance, that the St.
Louis Federals had signed him for 10,000
a year. Figuring on what they took In
last year they wouldn't have enough left
for cigar money after they got through
paying him. I hope they continue to
sign these J3J.0O0 players. They will be
through the quicker."
BASEBALL MEETING
National League Magnates to Con
vene in New York Tuesday.
1 NEW TOIIK. Dec. , There's going to
De a DUiy meeting or National League
magnates here next Tuesday, but they'll
hare to make utte a fuss to out-nolse
the managers. If the latter are not all
bluffing, there ought to be enough fan
food manufactured through the medium
of trades and sales to keep the fans sup
plied with gossip for months, '
Fred Clarke, of the Pirates, Is reported
as having announced that he will go the
limit In bolstering up his team. Having
broken up what every one thought was a
pennant-hope machine by one little trade,
Clarke will try to" put humpty-dumpty
back en the wall again with several con
templated trades next week.
George Stalling, of Boston, while de
claring he won't let any good things slip
by him. Is the envied of the envied. He
la In the position of the dealer who doesn't
need amy cards.
All in all. the coming meeting promises
to ba a replica of an ante-bellum, down
South slave auction field day.

PROFESSIONALS
PLAYING GOLF
FOR WAR FUNDS
Vardon, Braid and Taylor
Have Played Number of
Matches for This Purpose.
News of the Links.
Hairy Vardon. James Urald and J. II.
Taylor, the "big three" In the world of
golf, are putting their skill to good pur
pose during the war, for several times
week exhibition matches are played
and goodly sums raised for various re-
lief funds
V. ...
It Is truly said of them that they are
the blg'three, for no ether three golfers
cant claim a record that equals that of
either one of them. Beginning with 1S9,
Vardon has won the open title six times,
and the others have won It five times
each. Only five times In 21 years have
they lot the championship slip from them.
When ono has won, nnother was gen
erally second or third, and on three oc
casions they occupied the first three
places.
Taylor was the first ono of the three
tc become open champion, and he won In
1S3I nnd again In ISM. He next won In
1K0 and his other two victories were In
1002 and 1913. ;Slt times did he finish In
second place, and only three times has he
been out of the first ten.

for the quarterback position. Hallowell
was the best general of the three and the

He had a shade on Itamsdell and is picked
for the first team. Itamsdell outclassed
Oalllard as an open field runner and Is
placed on the second team.

Fierce Contest Expected at Cooper

Cooper Battalion Hall will be the scene
of a brisk basketball scrap "tonight when
the De Nerl quintet mixes with Grey

become so prevalent In the Eastern
League that It seems foolish to predict
anything but defeat for the visiting team.
However, If the De Nerl five plays at
the clip It has been" going for the last
three games the Churchmen will find
themselves hard put to pull out a vic
tory, even though they have the advan
tage of playing In their own cage.
Greystock Is plavlnr a much better all
around game now than It was two weeks
ago. During the last week they hava
risen from the lowly position of sixth
place, yielding their unenviable situation
to the Trenton Potters. The speedy work

SHAWKEY SAYS BENDER
' AND OTHERS ARE DONE
Bridegroom Gives Reason Why Slack
Asked Waivers.
BUTLER. Ptu, Dec. K. Bob Shan key,
the famous right-hand Tllnner ot Connie
Mack's staff, and his bride, formerlv
I MIbs Marie La KJor, of Philadelphia, ore
menuing part or their honeymoon here
as guests of the twlrler's cousin, H. D.
Shawkey.
"The time has seemed very short to
mo since I played my fltst game of ball
with tho Slipper Rock Xormnl School
team," said the Athletlu moundaman.
"For the last two years I have been
with Connie, and you can eay for me
that I am going South with th Ath
letics tho latter part of next March.
Wo train at Jacksonville, Flo,
"Why did Connie Mack pale waivers
on Bender, Plank and Coombs? Well,
I think he did It to cut down expenses.
Tod know they had a bad year at tho
box ofllco last senson. And then, you
know, Bender and Plank were always
used against teams Connie knew they
could beat. Their games will all picked
for them. Bender never worked against
Detroit or Boston for the Inst several
years. Both of them are bothered a
whole lot with rheumatism and will prob
ably never again pitch winning ball ln
the American Lcngue.
"As to Jack Coombs, I think ho will
come back. He and I spent 20 days In
the Maine woods on a hunting trip and
landed bnck in Phlily the day befoxj I
was married. Jack gained 0 pounds In
those 20 das a and he Went along just
like the rest of us. packing his lonu tin
his back. He did not know where he
would play next season.
"We didn't get much glory out of the
world's series. Plank's game should
have been won, but Collins lost a fly
ball In the aun. The breaks were with
the Braves. Outsldo ot Maranvllle and
Evers there Isn't, a good player on the
Boston team. They couldn't trade their
whole outfit for one of bur Inflelders.
"Mack has some good players who
haven't done any work na yet. Bressler
Is a southpaw who In destined to become
a second Tlnnk. Hr '-s n the same
style and has everything, 4
"I think the Not. . .cam will make
a great shoeing In the American circuit
next year, but I "an't see Boston with
n... field glass,
"I wouldn't like to make a selection In
the National League. The players In
that league are all old men and you can't
tell much about them. They spurt for
a while and then go to pieces.
"No. I don't think the Quaker City
fans are down on Mack for letting his
three pitchers go. Mack answered the
comment of the critics and I think every
person understands the situation thor
oughly now."
Shawkey and his bride will go to
Charleston, W. Vn and then take a
short tour through the South before re
turning to Philadelphia.
Personal Touches in Sports
Tou'll have to blame this on Frank C.
Menke.
"(Utile Uarquard, who U In vaudeville with

Complicates Football Situation
The action of the University nt Pennsyltanla
football players In voting by 10 to 1' against
the retention of George II. Brooke ns hoad
coach for HUB Is not onlv unprecedented In
college football, but It Is likely to complicate
the gridiron situation at Pennsylvania. While
It waa well known that some of the players
were not fatorable. to working again under
Brooke, the almost complete unanimity of the
squad on this -point came a a surprise, not
only ta the student body but to the athletlo
directors.
