Attorney Wilton J. Lambert of the Wash

Dwyer. the prospective secretary and BUSH
ness manager. arrived home late last night
from their conference with President Ban
B. Johnson in Chicago When seen by an
Evening Star reporter this morning neither
gentleman had any news to give out with
the exception that the deal for the sale
of the club was practically completed, there
remaining only few minor details to fix
up, which Mr.. Johnson will attend to when
he reaches Washington tomorrow
A representative of the gentlemen who
are bidding against the McLean-Wads-
worth-Dwyer syndicate for the purchase of
the club gave out this morning that Mr..
Johnson is coming to Washington to in
vestigate their offer and that their chances
of securing the club is still first class as
they are Offering more money. Walter
Hewitt who was secretary Of the Washing
ton club last season, Is representing this
syndicate, but he is in Philadelphia at pres

morning.
Pitcher Albert Edward Ortiz, the curve

morning from his home In Lynchburg, Va.
and is the picture of good health and pros

a few days and will probably sign with the
local club as soon as the deal is completed
for its transfer.

and 10000 q year cannot be paid to even
the star players except under the most
prosperous condition imaginable for rate
receipts, and such conditions exist for only
one or two clubs In a league Of eight. Even
IL some players salaries for 1908 were cut
in half for this season they would still be
getting more than they were before the
war. While some clubs have made money
in spite of enormous war salaries, there
has been much more money lost by the
sixteen clubs OF the two major leagues
than has been made in the last two years.
1t Is not enough that the pennant- winning
teams make money for their owners. There
can be no winning teams without corre-
spending number Of losing teams on the
diamond, and 1t is the losing teams which
are compelled to struggle hardest to pay
expenses. Every club owner hopes to win
pennant some day, but If he must do that
to make money the chances are to 1

gambler balks at those odds. to say moth

break to clear himself or there will soon
be no hackers, and without backing the

1t will require several reductions of the
size of any yet recorded for the coming
season before players salaries will be re-
duced near the standard before the war
Not until then will the players be entitled

who showed an utter disregard for per-
sonal pledges or honesty will be getting
