Tener ami Johnson Take Opposite Sides in Baseball Fuss TROUBLE Is brewing In the ranks of tho American and National Leagues as tho dato of tho annual meetings approaches. Han Johiibon. who f handles tho destinies of tho American circuit, is teudy to put through a 140-gamo schedulo and an clghteen-playcr limit, while Proxy Tener, of tho " National, appears to he holding out for tho old Muff twenty-one players to j each club and a schedulo of 154 games. Teamwork Is necessary in a ca.so pJ&v like this, for If tho signals get all balled up something fcrlous is likely to Wf t ' hiinnpn. Thn hnxsea must work 111 clouds which are beginning to holer over the landscape, Johnson and Tener aro getting nlong like a pair of friendly mllo po-,ts. Thcro always aro two sides to u question, and such is tho ease In tho baseball argument.

"Werghman did make n conditional offer of $00,000 for Hornsby. but 'he conditions were so Impossible that I really paid no attention to the offer. However, the conditions are neither here nor there, ltornsliy cannot lie bought. It Is useless -for WVeghman or any one else to talk of buying Hornsby or even ot imiklng a trade for him. However, Mr. Weeghman can deal with me for other players. He ban promised his peo ple In Chicago that lie will provide them with a great catcher, 1 will help him mcke this promise good, I have the two best catchers in the game, and If Mr. Wiealimun wants to trade lie can get one of my catchers for players and a uin of money.
