m'eRAw ATTACKS JOHNSON.
Fight May Result in a Split in the
American League.


Baltimore. June 19.-The fight be-
tween John McGraw and Ban Johnson
is becoming serious, and may cause
split in the American League at the
close of the season McGrayT today
sharply criticised President JOhnson's
tactics. Said he:
This assertion by President johnson
that the managers of American League
clubs agreed at the Chicago meeting to
sign no National League men without
permission from Johnson is rot Meth
er did wire from Hot Springs to him
for permission to sign Donlin and Viii
Hams, as he is reported TO have said
The agreement at Chicago was for each
club to sign no more than three Ma
tiona1 men. This limit was afterward
raised to four and each club named IS
men. 1 went to Hot Springs, believing
that all the signing had been done, and
that this agreement would be lived up
to, only to find that Chicago, Boston and
Philadelphia were busily engaged IN
signing every National man they could
get. They had seven or eight a piece,
as they still have, and I found the Bal
timOre club was the only one getting
left because it was living up to the
agreement. I wired Johnson about Don
lin, not for permission, but to know
what effect his having signed one of the
old St Louis contracts woul~ have.
Williams was never mentioned
Manager NcGraw said that Ban
Johnson to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, Hughey Jenning will play on the
Baltimore American team. McGraW
and Jennings have been corresponding
industriously for some time, and
Hughey's last letter, which arrived led
McGraw to assert that the auburn
haired player viii be in Baltimore on
Wednesday, and cover first bag on that
day for the Oriole team. McGrew is
strongly backed up to his fight against
Ban Johnson by the officials of the Bal
tirnore club, and the correspondence be-
tween them and the president of the
league has been sharp and bitter.

with some pretensions to a mastery
over the ball, have planned a trip to
Great Britain which will extend at all
events until August, and maybe later.
That the contingent is the first repre-
sentative one to invade the classic
course is shown by the fact that the
party will include Walter J Travis, r.
H. Robertson, J. NJ Robertson. Dew
eraux Emmett and Arden NJ. Robbins.
Mr.. Emmett is a familiar face at
Prestwick and thereon, but the rem ain
ing trio have yet to make their ac-
quaintance with the Scottish links.

10 FIGHT THE HEssIAN FLY.
Farmers in Ottawa County May Unite
to Burn Stubble.

Minneapolis, Kan, June 19.-The far
mers of southeast Ottawa county are
organizing for a campaign against the
Hessian fly It is proposed to unite all
thus destroying the eggs of the fly,
and then to go over the ground with
a lister. It is then to lie until late in
the fall. as late as October, if possible,
when the rows of the lister are to be
split and the ground sown to wheat.
It is asserted that by this method the
chances of injury to next years crop
will be greatly lessened and the yield
increased. If all the farmers will join
in the movement it is believed that the
community will be much benefited. So
far the idea has met with favor.
