Clubs OF the National League are reronciied
tn th" fact that tn" present war "i the
leagues wit .cad to d VAST loss ~ W"o'y.
Recognizing this fact, they have set aside
money for the loss, and propose to use it to
cripple, and, il possible, Kill, the American
League by tempting away Its players. These
facts were disclosed by Edward Hanlon. who
had Just returned from a meeting Of the
Brooklyn Club held in Brooklyn At that
meeting the Brooklyn Club estimated that It
would lose a certain number Of dollars, and
decided to lose them with rush if neces
sary to work some injury to the American
League The action of the Brooklyn Club
is Il criterion of what the other clubs propose
to do, so 1t is likely that Johnson's men will
have to cross even n stormier sea than they
thought. If the plans as outlined by Man
ager Hanlon are carried out il will be a life
and-death struggle between the leagues, with
each testing its resources to the limit and the
llttest, financially, surviving. Hanlon said
that within few days the news would be
announced of number OF National League
players claimed by the American League
who would play this season with National
clubs. Clubs such as the Brooklyn Club
propose to go further and to strike at men
who have always been American hcaguers
and who are good players. "Heldrick, Wal
lace and Sheckard are not the only National
League players claimed by the American
tJeague who will play with National clubs, -
said Manager Hanlon. NO man has argued
more strenu-usly for peace than L. II John
son had only attended that New York meet
ing thugs would have been arranged all

sions and we could have reached ONE sort
