President johnson, Postal and Lotus
Consulting in Detroit
HAsrURrlUM ENTERED FOR DERBY
More Litigation in National League
Expected From freedman.
SPORTS IN GEN ERAL

A special from Detroit says that Presi-
dent Ban johnson Of the American League
and Tom Lotus and Fred Postal. owners
OF the Washington club of the same
league, had meeting in that city yester-
day. President Johnson was in great good
humor. as the recent election of Spalding
as president of the National League made
him feel that the base ball war between
the National and American Is at an end.
"Spalding is a fine fellow" said Presi-
dent Johnson 'and while the American
League could not have been injured no
matter who was elected president Of the
National as we had all our fences up, it
Is good to know that there is man at
the head Of the National who will strive
to perpetuate base ball instead of killing
it. as Andy Freedman sought to do.
Zone. thing is certain and that is that
the American League Is on a stronger
foundation today than it has ever been.
We can get any player in the National
that We wish. and We are going to get
quite a bunch No: 1 do not think that
the Detroit club will get either Kelley or
Keeler. Keeler Is under obligations to
Hanlon, and it is almost certain that Han
lon can hold him. AS for Kelley, why
would Manager Dwyer of the Detroit club
wish to secure Kelley? Kelley is a man
ager as well as player, and If the Detroit
owners of the club secure Kelley they
would have no use for Dwyer. and the
latter isn't engaging men to fill his own
shoes"
Thomas Patrick Lotus, who succeeded
James Manning as partner Of Fred Postal
in the Washington club. had very little to
say further than that the base ball loving
public will scarcely recognize the Wash
ington club when the word is given out
next season to play ball. 1t is strongly
intimated that Lotus is after Keeler and
will give the midget $4,000 and bonus,
the road-drawing power of the little one
being the Justification for that extrava-
CANT salary.

LEGAL BATTLES LIKELY.
Freedman Crowd Expected to Begin
More Litigation.


More Litigation.
Frank De Haas Robson Of the st. Louis
base ball club, who is in New York. said
yesterday that whatever the result Of the
hearing today on the temporary injunction
restraining Mr.. Spalding from acting as
president of the National League, the
Friedman crowd would have more litigation
to follow with. in the near future 1t seems,
according to Mr.. Robson. that If the league
is disrupted through Mr.. Spaldings efforts,
the Freedman aggregation. (which will be
frozen out. will sue Mr.. Sp&lding for dam
ages. alleging conspiracy. 1t will be al
legged that the action Of the Brooklyn, Pitts
burg, Philadelphia and Chicago clubs in
standing behind Mr.. Spalding was the re-
suit of an organized plot to make the shares
Of the New York base ball club worthless
and damages in proportion will be asked
If this is the worst that the anti-Spalding
faction can do there does not appear to be
much for Mr.. Spalding and his friends to
worry about That the election of Mr..
Spalding as president Of the league was
the result of a plan there is no doubt,
but it was plan on the part of the various
magnates to protect their property from
the ruin that impended as a result of
the evil influence OF some persons who had
been having a weighty authority in the
game. If the property of the hoodoos suf-
fers from the effort of the Spalding men to
save their own clubs from destruction it
is not likely that charge of conspiracy
can be successfully founded on this fact
Certain newspapers who have been sup
porting the Freedman end of the base ball
controversy have intimated that Freedman
might be able to get into the American
League. When one of the Spalding men
heard this last night he said DO these
people think Ban Johnson is crazy? He has
seen what freedman does to base ball.
