League MAY Run Club.


From the above it can be seen that the
sale of the Washington club Is in some
what mudded shape. Attorney Wilton J.
lambert. when seen by Evening Star
reporter this morning. said that he was
confident Mr.. Johnson had gone directly to
Chicago from this city, as he was at the
railroad station with him at midnight Sat
urday and that he got on the Cincinnati
sleeper. All the talk that has been current
about the Wagners buying the Senators.
therefore, can be taken with several buck
cts of salt. Mr.. Wagner and Mr.. Johnson
both deny the DEAL and there you are.
The deal with the Mclean Wadsworth-
Dwyer syndicate has not been broken off,
Notwithstanding Representative Wads-
wOrths remarks of yesterday, and should
the rough edges be clipped off of different
little propositions. the sale may be consum-
mated al any time.
Another possibility is that President John
son shall determine to run the club him
self the coming season. placing James H.
Manning in charge. The release of Infielder
Robinson to Detroit yesterday by Mr.. john
son gives color to this idea If Mr.. johnson
played on the present grounds in the north
east strong team being promised to offset
the location of the park.
There are many little difficulties In the
way of the Washington club being sold of
which the public cannot as yet be made
aware, but later they will doubtless crop
out, and then it will be seen that Messrs.
Johnson and Lambert have done their best
to get the club in good hands, but that 1t
was impossible for them to overcome the
obstacles.

A special from Chicago says that Presi-
dent Johnson returned to that city from
Washington yesterday without completing
the deal for the new ownership of the Sem
ators, but confident that matters had been
advanced to a point where definite an
nouncement could be made within a few
days. Further than that he refused to dis
cuss the probable ownership or management
of the club at present He. however, denied
the reports that he had left Washington
and gone to Philadelphia to confer with the
Wagner brothers. former owners of the
Washington National League franchise.
He said he returned direct from the CAPT.
tai city. stopping off between trains In Gin
oinnaH last night, but did not visit Phila-
delphia nor see any one in Redland.
Wagners Out Of It.
A correspondent of The Evening Star CALI
ed on ]. Earl Wagner in Philadelphia last
night and secured the following interview
with the ex-owner of the Senator's:
Ban Johnson's visit to this city may be
il. connection with the Washington base ball
club, and an endeavor to secure capital
with which to back the same, but we know
nothing of it, nor are We going to tie our
selves up in any base ball franchise" So
said Earl Wagner, speaking for himself and
his brother both of whom were mentioned
as among those upon whom the American
League president was to call while In this
city.
. The visit of Ban Johnson to Philadelphia
is naturally supposed to have some bearing
on the Washington deal, and the fact that
Earl Wagner called on Johnson while in
Washington led to the general belief that
the Philadelphia would be among the
financial hackers of the new American
League club in Washington.
My call on Ban Johnson In Washington
was purely personal alair, and had no
bearing on base ball whatever explained
