JOHNSON IS SMOOTH.
American League Boss Gets Nearly
All Disputed Players for
His Clubs.
Complete List Approved by the
Peace ENJOYS at Cincinnati
Pittsburg Keeps Leach.

L
One of the chief features of interest
connected with the peace pact signeo sDs
the American and National League en-
yoys at Cincinnati, Saturday was the
disposition made Of the cases OF players
who have been too careless III regard 10
the number OF contracts they slgneo.
The American League apparently got al
the best of 1t in the settlement. Comis-
KEY keeps George Davis, who signed win
McGraw's New York team after attach
ing his name to one Of Comiskey's docu-
ments. The Washington club keeps Dele
hanty. whose case has attracted more
attention than any any or the otneis.
Cincinnati yielded Sam Crawford 10 De
troit; Brooklyn comedies Pitcher donovan
to the same club; Conroy goes to the ne"
American League club.
In return for these concessions by the
National, Leach stays with P1ttspurg, ne-
ing the only one of the cases Whlch nave
reused most dispute, in which the o1uer
league gets out ahead. The complete list
of players assigned to the sixteen c1uos
of the two leagues follows:
