NEWS OF7 HE SPO WHITER JOHNSON SIGNS TO PLAY WITH CHIFEDS Senators' Great Pitcher Hangs Name Onto Tinker Contract for Two Years—Salary More Than *IU,OOO a Year Intimates Manager Coffeyville, Kan., Dec. 4.—"Johnson will be seen in a Federal League uni form for the next two years," said Joe Tinker, manager of the Chicago Fed erals, as he boarded a train for Chi cago late yesterday. Tinker carried with him a contract which Walter Johnson, former pitcher for the Washington Americans, signed after a day of ne gotiations here. "As to Johnson's salary," >continued Tinker, "you may say he will make more money than anybody." "Will it 'be more than $16,000 a year?" he was asked. "Will it? That isn't anything," said Tinker. When Tinker arrived here Wednes day morning, Johnson motored in from his farm to meet him. After a long ; distance telephone talk between Tinker and President Weeghman in Chicago, , Tinker and Johnson quickly came to terms. While the deal for Walter Johnson was completed by Joe Tinker here, it was engineered by Phil Ball, of the St. Louis Federals. Ball made the an | pouacement last night that Johnson had fig"ed and at the same time told the inside of the most remarkable baseball | deal in the history of tihe game. Johnson will play for two years for i Chicago at the same annual figure he ' couW have signet with the St. Louis ' for three years the latter part of (>c tolier. By holding off Johnson lost ex actly $20,000. Incidentally, Johnson used the Fed erals as long as osniible in an effort :to hold up the Washington Hub. Ball ; stafed last night that Johnson's final : proposition to Griflith was: ' Fifteen thousand dollars for one year, $36,000 for 'throe years or $50,000 for , Jive years. Griffith's reply was that he did not want to buy the whole State of Kan sas. Johnson then signed with Tinker. In the ialtter part of October Fielder Jones and Ball conferred wi'th Johnson at Fort .Smith, Ark. They made him a llat offer of $60,000 for t'lvree years, money to be put in the bank, so lie could not lose, ajul SIO,OOO of it in cash. Johnson said he would let them know. He wired th(! offer to Griffith and Griffith refused not only to meet it but to approach it. Johnson still he sita. ted. This was the situation when the Fed eral League officials met in Chicago on November 28. That afternoon. Ball wired Johnson for a "yes or no an swer. He received no reply. Ball then told the league officials that he was through with Johnson anil that any body that wanted the Wash ington star could have him at $60,000 for three years. Weeghman announced in the meet ing that 'lie would take Johnson at $20,- 'ioo, but he did not want him for more than two years. Ball then waived all (Maims on Jo'hnson and agreed to aid Weeghman and Tinker to get the "tire ball king." Yesterday's signature to a Chicago contract was the result. Ball insisted, however, that if he waived his rights to Johnson lie s'hould have the pick of otther star pitchers signed. He was offered Plank, who really is supposed to go to either Brook lyn or Chicago. He wired Fielder Jones and Jones agreed to Plank. Plank was awarded to the St. Louis club yesterday for its part in signing Jcfhnson. Euxton A. C. Organizes The Ruxton A. C'. has organized a basketball team for the coming season.

TENER AfTERSPEED RECORD National League Executive Thinks He Will Be Able to Conclude Busi ness in One Day New York, Dec. 4.—Roy Beeves, private secretary of Governor Tener, vouchsafed the information yesterday that tihe National League executive would try to break aLI National League records for speed here next week. The Governor believes it wild be possible to conclude all the business in one day. He plans to leave for Harrisburg a.n< I pressing administration business cares late Tuesday night. If Governor Tener shows such speed as this he will be entitled to the cham pionship. Those National League mag nates simply love Little old New York. Most of them contrive to drag out the star chamber sessions to the week-end amd many exf them hang around an other week to do Christmas shopping. According to the presw-t schedule, Governor Tener will not arrive in New York until late Monday night. It will take the speed of Ban Johnson to wiade through all his problems inside of twenty-four hours. First of all the board of directors must seUtile the dis pute over the $ 10,000 between Herr mann and Kbbets, a hangover from the celebrated Tinker sale of a year ago. The question of a limited roster prom ises a merry battle, as New York is op'jxwed to any change. New York's voice usually carries great weight in the National League. The delegates must elect a new board of directors and pass upon any number of routine reports and the minutes of the last meeting. Besides it is likely thait the league members will wish to know aiM the er>on will bo Mr. Hare's successor. T'he new chairman will be the man to deal with the Brooke question, but prominent alumni are willing to pay '■Brooke his $3,500 salary for .next year provided he will abdicate. Humor says that Bill Hollenback, at .present coach for Penn State College, is the man who is wanted to succeed Brooke, but his appointment cannot be made until the new chairman is Chosen.
