AMERICAN LEAGUE MAY SPLIT WITH NATIONAL-OPENING OF POLO SEASON DELAYS
AMERICAN LEAGUE SEEKS TO SAVE
ITSELF; DISREGARDS THE NA TIONAL
Ban Johnson Confirms Evening Ledger Story of Peace Move
With Federals McGraw Has Turned Loose Whole
Team of Stars in Last Four Years,
Ban Johnson, president of tho American t-ciiRtic, nritnlltcil In Boston
yesterday Hint a movement win on foot to linvo Hip letloritl Ijciijjue's suit
ngnlnst organized ball withdrawn and seltlpd out of court. Thai this plan i
was under way was iulllshci1 exclusively In the Kvn.vi.sti hiilmim on Monday
of. last week. The livKXtNU iMiut.n staled film) that Itan .lohusou wast nrtitiK
on a tip from Judge Kenesaw M. Lnlidls. Mr. Johnson would not deny or
confirm the latter, hut admitted that It was it fatal blunder ever to pennlt
the case to ro Into court.
President John K. Tener, of the National LcnRtie, and AiiptiHt Iterimnnn,
cliAlrman of the National Commission, profess to know nothing about the
matter. The Rvkni.mi Lmmimi'h story of the peace plans stated that lies
National League bad no representatUe at the meeting, but It was thought
that they would agree to the plans.
American League Acting Independently
Tho statement of 1'iesldent Johnson jesterday means that the Anierlenn
League Is acting on Its own Initiative, and the National League, cither must '
follow suit or take Its chances alone, The nbollshment of the National Com
mission was asked by the Federal League in ItH suit, nnd It Is predicted
that the National Commission will be abolished, as will the world's series,
before the close of the ptesent season. ,
Sevii'al Federal League magnates luue been itioted today as saving tin
knew nothing about the arrangements, but It Is certain that these nnniin
were only to safeguard their luteiests until they knew olllelally that Han
Johnson had made the statement i rallied to him from Huston. Mr It li
Ward, owner of the Hrooklyn Federal Club anil principal backer of the in
dependent league, merely remarked that Johnson's statement uns a surprise
to him, but did not deny that be knew of the ngrcemenl reached h the at
torneys of the Fedeial and American Leagues In Chicago two weeks, ngo.
Since the bnseball war started the National League has been In the rouiti
with the Federal League continually, while the American anil Federal Leagues
have only the case of Walter Johnson between them, nnd this vlrlnnlh has
been settled, provided the prenent plans go through. The American League,
or rnthcr, Han Johnson, who does pretty much as he pleases about l lie
league affairs, fears that the Landis decision will go against organled boll.
If Judge Landis Is finally forced to hand down a decision nnd does not in
tend to allow Ita Interests to be Jeopardized when a peacable settlement can
be made.

-WHEN THE GItACK SHOT OF THE BUNCH DIES ON
KELLY
THE 13REAK
Federals Insist on Their Demands
Last December, when the Federal Lcaguo was holding Its mooting at the
Hotel Ulltmore, In New York, Lloyd Ricknrt, then secretary of the Federal
League, but now president of the St. Louis Club, stated to the IUkmmi
LEnor.lt representative that Han Johnson was willing to make a settlement
then, but that the Federal League did not think It could trust Johnson until
It had placed him where he must settle. Evidently Johnson has convinced
the Federal League that he Is sincere, lint the new league will not withdiaw
Its suit until It has arranged terms that are satisfactory.
If Johnson goes through with the plnn to make a peaceable settlement AgreGlllCllt ActUlllly SiffllGfl
Join hnnds or shift for Itself, It Is n mntter of doubt whether cither the I Ity American ailCl I4 GCteral
National or American Lengucs could shift for Itself and survive n war such
as Is certain to follow nny break In the plans.
Denlnls and confessions will (low thick and fast from the magnates
within the next week. Possibly some of them are In the dark, but that lias
been the mnin renson the whole affair was n. success and a secret until the
Evening Lkiiiikii published Its statement last week. Perhaps the National
League may be able to Induce Johnson to abandon his present attitude and
allow the war to continue, but those who know the American League piesl
oent believe there Is no chance of swaying Johnson when he onco makes
up his mind on nny subject.
McGraw's Idea of a Winning Combination
Manager McGraw, of the Oiants, believes that his team Is certain to
come back strong and lie In the rac for the National League pennant. Hut
McGraw would no doubt like vergjiiiueh to have some of the ball players he
has turned loose within the last"Shio seasons. There Is no question about
JIcGraw's ability as a manager, nnd yet lie has permitted more star players
to get away from him than any other major league leader.
Several reasons may be advanced for this apparent lack of ability to
size up a ball player, but McGraw's probable explanation would be that he
Is a great believer in combinations, .He has always contended, nnd reiter
ated his statement Just two days ago, that nil the star players In the country
nre of no uso to a club unless they lit Into a certain style of play and are
willing to hustle.
A man may be a star of the greatest magnitude and yet be of no uso
to a man whoso system works like thnt of the Giants. His championship
teams have had men in tho line-up who did not compare, In the eyes of the
critics and fans, with another player that McGraw has released, but they
fit in right with bis style of play, and while not as brilliant as their pre
decessor In Individual ability, they nro of far greater value to McGraw.
A Team of Stars Released
McGraw has made his mistakes and sprlous ones, but ho contends that
of all the men he has released In the last five years, tho only ones ho would
take back are Charley Herzog and Krnle Shore, though one must beliove
that George Chalmers and a few others might be acceptable to McGraw, par
ticularly with his team In Its present crippled condition.
A line ball club could be formed from men passed up by McGraw In
the last four years. Some of the pitchers that have drawn releases or been
traded by the Giants on the ground that they have outlived their Usefulness
nro stars such as Dick Rudolph, of the Rraves; Chalmers, of the Phillies;
Ernie Shorp, of the Red Sox, a bensatlonal performer for a youngster; Al
Demareo and "Red" Ames. Catchers Gowdy and Jack Adams were let out
by McGraw, but the former was a first baseman nt tho time.
Heinle Groh, of tho Reds, fine of the best Infielders In the Nntlonal
League, nnd Buck Herzog were pnssed up by McGraw, to say nothing of
Milton Stock, Al Rrldwell. Jake Danbert, Bcals Beckor, Bob Beschor, Steve
Evans and numerous unexercised options on men now stnrrlng In tho major
leagues.
Federals Welcome to Murray, Says Ureyfuss
Barney Dreyfuss, president of tho Pittsburgh National League club, says ho
owes a vote of thanks to tho Federal Leaguo for "stealing" Billy Murray, ex
manager of the Phillies, who has been scouting for thn Pirates for three years.
As a manager, Murray was not bad, though never a howling success here, but ns a
ecout he does not rank very high In the opinion of Dreyfuss, nnd Dreyfuss does
seem to have convincing proof.
The Pittsburg club hns "working agreements," which nre practically farms,
supposed to have been eliminated In recent years, with the Columbus club, of
the American Association, nnd tho Youngstown Club, of the Centra' League.
Recruits who are not to be retained are sent to these clubs. With Its Pittsburgh
recruits, Columbus has won two out of 17 games played, while Youngtown thinks
It la a holiday when the team wins.
There does seem, then, to bo some logic In what Dreyfuss says. If Murray's
"finds" cannot help a minor league club, It Is difficult to see where they could
aid the Pirates. But Murray has received a large contract from tho Federal
League to act as agent and scout.
Walter Johnson Offers Weak Alibi
When the Yankees gave Walter Johnson a severe drubbing on the Polo
Grounds a short time ago, Johnson "explained," or perhaps "alibied," that the
new turtle-back diamond built by Harry Fabian, groundkeeper extraordinary,
had caused his defeat, Johnson Hays that tho pitching hill Is too high on the
polo Grounds and that it Is a particularly hard box for a visiting slabman. He
also says that It was still harder for him, as he was a side-arm pitcher.
If memory serves aright, did not Grover Cleveland Alexander pitch from
that same mound a few days before and make the Giants look like a minor
league aggregation? Alexander Is a more pronounced side-arm pitcher than
Johnson, and yet it did not bother him In the least,
In these days of high salaries star ball players are always looking for alibis,
tut that one offered by Johnson was JUst a little too raw, Why not give the
Highlanders credit? They have hit all pitching hard to date, both at home and
abroad.

ST. LOUIS, May 5. The lint statement
th.it a "pence ngieeincnl" between tho

has been signed wns mnilo In a storj
published hero today. The article fol
lows: "Pcuco terms were sisncd between the

"After this understanding had been

bad been threshed out.
Permission was to be given to Fed
eral League owners to buy totally or

their adulations with such clubs not
to be announced until the present pen
nant races have been run. This sec
tion would allow baseball men who
had the money to come to the relief of
any clubs which faltered financially or
fell by tho wayside during the season.
"It Is believed that the Marsnns caso
caused the big talk on the part of the
National League, together with the fact
that neither Schuyler P. Rritton In St.
Louis, Taft and Murphy In Chicago or
Kbbets In Brooklyn would agree to any
arrangement which might force them to
sell their franchises at a price to be
set by appraisers of the three leagues."

A Hetrospect
Dear Sir
The supreme confidence of Harvaid 'OH

year his slogan no doubt would have been
even more supercilious, not only in regard
to the boat race but tho baseball series
nnd tho track meet. However, the results
if these three series are fairly woll known
nnd this yenr's outcome remains to be
seen. YALE 1017.

Tho U. S. A. Is getting to he the Federal
League of thn nations. They take what
they like from us and what they don't
like they blacklist. And we protest like
Mr James A. Gilmore and let It go at
tnat.
On U. S. Soil
Tho Franco-German controversy has
been transferred to American soil. AYag
ner Is In his nineteenth campaign, and
Lajole Is his twentieth, and the batting
battle between this pair Is raging ns keen
as It did 15 years ago
The remarkable part Is that both the
Teuton and the Frenchman, despite their
age nnd previous condition of servitude,
are over .300, smashing the ball almost
as well as they ever did "when all the
world was young, lad, and all the fields
were green."
The Difference
When the old Cub maohlne began to
slip It skidded slowly, dropping back only
after desperate resistance. Even In 1911,
when It was supposed to be all through,
with many stars missing, It fought the
Giants up to the closing days of Septem
ber before It surrendered And in 1913
It came back from a IS-game deficit on
July 4 to within four games by late
August
The old Tiger machine, after threa
victorious years, also subsided gently,
without any dlzsy descent. In 1911 It Jed
the league up to August before It was
overhauled by the Mackmen.
So the early cave-In of the Mackmen
and the Giants has come as an addition
al shock. The repulse of the Mackmen
especially Is one of the greatest reverss
ever se$n In the game. A year ago at
this date Mack had an almost unbeatable
machine one to be compared with the
old Cubs In their years of glory. Yet
here within less than a year the four
time winners have not only slipped baclt
hut have broken In two. They lost stars,
but so did tho Cubs nnd Tigers. Vet
these two clubs never slipped back as
far or looked as bad as the Philadelphia
contingent hns looked these first three
weeks, whero It seems almost Impossible
that any spurt can carry them back Into
tho first division, much less a fight for
first place.
The Value of Control
Mack's pitchers show again the Innate
value of control. Bush. Bresslcr and
others have enough stuff to bng a win
ning percentage of games played, but
only a minor part of this stuff ever gets
over the plate
Having all the speed and curves there
nre Is null and void If the bulk of It I..
scattered beyond nn working range.
It Isn't as It used to be It's the box
score of this plensnnt May morning that
tells the story.
As Warbled by C. Mack
How dear to this heart arc the scenes of
last summer,
When fond recollections present them to
view;
When linker's long clout was a hit of a
hummer
And Collins tons there with a triple or
two;
The wldesprcadtng curves that belonged
10 vmei Hauler,
The shoots of Ed Plank with the old
loinning spell.
So give me, I sing ns a hapless tail-cnder,
The old-fashioned bludgeons that once
gave 'email;
The old oaken bludgeons,
The hit-covered bludgeons,
Tho joo bludgeons that once gave 'emell.
In the meanwhile. Just how far short Is
Jess Willnrd from that million he was to
collect as a result of the Havana soiree?
Or Is this Mimenhnt of a soggy season

' By ED W. SMITH
I There are many kinds of knockouts, all
classified under that broad and keeping
' ring term of "K. O." In parlance of tho
1 glove arena they mean pretty much ths
, name thing to the fight fan-defeat, al-
wnjs defeat.
Sensational knockouts have been so fro

stating thnt the most sensational knock
out ever handed a boxer wns dealt by
I Jack McCormick. then of Philadelphia,
I with Norman Selhv ("Kid McCoy") as tho
victim. This battle created more ring
ihattcr at tho time than any other be
cause of the prominence of McCoy. Mc
Coy didn't weigh much over ICn pounds
nt the time and looked like a little boy
alongside of the niasslvo 1P0 pounds of
