There are a lot of men In base ball who
| have done little but injare it for their own
| selfish ends. The peesent war will be
| worth all it costs If it drives these men

There are some men In the National
League says President Pat Powers, who
ought to be chased. out of base ball. They
are not sportsmen. and for that reason
| they have lost the respect and confidence
| of the public. After this season I would
| like to see combination of the best men
| In the two leagues forming new major
circuit. Cut out the schemers, tricksters,
| cheap Johns and tinhorns and let the game
be controlled by men OF high standing in
the community"
There has been a revolution In base ball,
and some of the Boston papers have not

| the Boston papers do not publish the Amer

know that Collins Is the most popular base

see the reception he gets when he plays his
first game in Boston this season! It will

President Johnson returned to Chicago
from Cleveland yesterday. He said last
night that legal action against Heidrick
would not be instituted until after the Ma
tional League season had opened. Injunc-
tton proceedings would be the only way
to reach the player at the present time,
but after he has taken part in National
league game the recourse at law will be
much simpler. johnson is we'll pleased
with the outlook in spite of the fact that
the national has won back several Of the
men who signed with the American.
Shortstop Billy Clingman says: 'It Is the
easiest thing in the world to umpire in the
American League The moment q PLAYER
approaches an umpire to make his kick out
he goes out of the game" Hark to that,
Papa Chadwick! There is something in the
outlaw American League that you can
not but approve And Clingman continued:
IF the man tries to beef after that he
stands good chance of quitting the game
for some days" Such is life In the Amer
lean League. and the American League has
had no supervisor of umpires, as the Ma
tfonal League had. johnson Is his own
supervisor of umpires, and better one
no one could find IL he tried The know
ing are already saying what the umpires
will be up against when they tackle Johnny
