"Who owns "Walter Johnson," is the all important baseball question to be settled. Three weeks ae-o Johnson jumped his Wash ington American contract and signed with the Feds. On Saturday the star twirler jumped back to Washington. Johnson claims he was advised by his attorneys and acted accordingly. James A. Gilmore, president of the Feds. had the wires hot yesterday try ing to get Johnson into a conference. The $6,000 advance given Johnson has been returned. . _. Gilmore said he now held Johnsons 1914 contract with Washington, calling for SIO,OOO, of which $7,500 was salary and $2,500 an option. Johnson complied with the terms of the option In first of feringr~his services to the Senators, Gil more said. _ , , ... "When the St. Jx>uis Federals with drew their offer of $20,000 to Johnson, lie continued, "and announced they were through with him. Washington immediately withdrew an offer they were reputed to have made of 116,000. This released Johnson on the option. He telegraphed me he was unable to make terms with "Washington, and it was a month before We finally agreed on terms." „ . Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash ington team, arrived here on his way Kast from Kansas. Johnsons new rontract does not call for more than $12.;"00 a vear, and carries no bonus. Griffith declared. The only <ash ad vance to the ball player will be to en able him to return the SO,OOO advance made by the Federals, he said. The Washington manager said John son had been so sorry that he signed with the Federals that he had lost fifteen pounds in weight. Griffith and th« two lawyers with whom he met Johnson, convinced the ball player that the option clause of the "Washington contract was valid, he said.

NEW RATES HIT BASEBALL The raise in passenger rates means considerable to the baseball leagues. It won't mean so much to the big leagues, although it adds to their financial burdens, but it hits hard the very smallest associations. Possibly the advance in prices will be met. in the big leagues, by a more sensible schedule; less hoi>-scotching all over the map, fewer long jumps when teams might just as well stop oft half way and general shortening of travel. The added expense, half a cent a mile, means -approximately, regular circuit, training camp and exhibition games, S7O per player on the season. Counting trainers, officials, etc., that means perhaps J2.700 added costs pet season. That item won't break a big club—but how can the tiny leagues stand It?

RECEIPT FOR COMEBACKS Cy Falkcnbcrg Says It Is Easy When You Know How Cy Falkenberg, who was at one time on the Harrisburg Tri-State team, is recorded as the greatest comeback in baseball history. Cy, who was sent from the Cleve land Xaps to the Toeldo club of the American Association in 1911 as a baseball hasbeen, gives his receipt for I recovering pitching ability for the j benefit of others in the national pas time who seem to have reached the end of their usefulness in the big i leagues. Cy's receipt must be a good one, for it is the one he followed in coming! back from the minors to fast company j and making a record as the second i best hurler in the game this year. The ! plan is a simple one. "Two winters of stuffing curled hair into automobile cushions, plfenty of bowling during the cold months and careful attention to my physical con dition were the means of my coming back," said the elongated twirler in a recent interview. "Sounds simple— doesn't it? And it is."
