Doughty Warrior.

Journal Special Service.
Chicago, Nov. 3.-James J. Gala
han, owner Of Logan Square Hsemi-
PROF. baseball team, today began an at
tack on the American league baseball
club of Chicago, which he declares to
be trust. He filed suit in the superior
court for $4,000 damages.
The action is based primarily on a
breach of contract, but according to
for the former pitcher for the white sox
team, evidence will be: produced by
which he hopes to show that the Ameri-
can league is as much a trust as the
Standard Oil company.
Trouble between Callahan and the
league arose several months ago when
Cha les Comiskey, president Of the de-
PENDANT club, is declared to have repudi-
ated a contract with the plaintiff which
provided for "Cal's' participation in
the worlds championship series of
games with the cubs.
In an extended interview given out
after the fling Of the suit. Callahan
said:

"a baseball player is mere chattel
OF the three big governing associations
in organized baseball in this country,
the National and American leagues and
the American association, who are at
liberty to release him under ten days )
notice with no redress, or they can send
him back to a minor league, where he
would get less salary.
'There have been cases innumerable
where a player has been able to better
his position financially, but has been
una ble to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity. Take the CAMEL case Of Grand
Rapids. John Camel was member Of
the New York highlanders He bought
the Grand Rapids club of the Central
league, but the fact that he was under
reservation to New York allowed them
to use the whip on him and they kept
him on the bench all year, preventing
him from playing single game with his
own club. He finally closed with New
York by paying them $4,000 and is now
free. ...-
Builds Ball Park.
I'm my own case, built the Logan
Square ball park and went into bust
ness. In the latter part of August,
when the American league club was
fighting for the pennant, some of their
men were hurt and Comiskey made a
proposition to me to finish the season
with the white sox and / accepted.
4 wanted to help out Comiskey for
the reason that he is about the best
fellow in baseball and the members of
the team felt at the time that would
be Of some strength to them.
"'Three or four of the players were
hurt and they were running a neck-and-
neck finish with the New York and
Philadelphia teams. I brought nv

Enraged Mob Indignantly Bemeaned
Vanderbilt Who Drew a Revolver but
Before He Could Use 1t He Was Dis

Florence, Italy, Feb 24-W. K. Van
derbilt is detained at Pont Edera, on
the road to Pisa, having had an auto
mobile accident in the street by which
boy was injured. The boy is not
seriously hurt.
The incident involved the detention
both Of Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt, Jr.,
and their chauffeur, and turns out to
nave been much more serious than at
first reported.
Mr. Vanderbilt and his ChaUffer were
mobbed, and the former drew reyol-
yer and both Mr.. Vanderbilt and the
chauffeur were arrested and taken to
the police station. Mrs Vanderbilt
was escorted to the best hotel in the
place, where, according to the latest
advices, she was awaiting develop
ments.
The Vanderbilt auto, it appears, was
not going at excessive speed, but
when turning a sharp street corner
in Pontedera it ran down a child, a
boy about 5 years old, and injured him
about the head. Though the boy was
not seriously hurt, his face was cover
ed with blood
The automobile, which was stopped
as soon as its occupants noticed that
an accident had occurred, was soon
surrounded by crowd of excited peo-
pie who Indignantly and threateningly
bemeaned its occupants.
In the midst of the excitement it
was reported that the child was dead,
and the townspeOple became so enrag-
ed that they attacked the chauffeur
In fact, matters reached a very criti-
cal stage, and Mr. Vanderbilt believing
that the lives of the party were in dan
ger drew a revolver. Before he
could use the weapon, however, sew
eral men jumped into the automobile,
disarmed Mr.. Vanderbilt and kicked
and cuffed him. By this time the po-
lice had become aware that something
unusual was happening, and a party.
Of gendarmes hurried to the scene to
protect the autOmobilists. Owing to
the fury of the people the officers took
the Vanderbilt party into a neighbor-
ing shop for safety. There they were
Immediately besieged by the crowd,
the most violent Of the crowd urging
their companions to take summary
vengeance on the travellers.
AS coincidence, the shop in which
the Vanderbilts were taken was owned
by a relative of the injured boy, which
did not tend to calm the feelings of
the mob.
Eventually an officer of gendarmes
with re-enfOrcements, arrived on the
scene and after the townspeople had
somewhat calmed down, succeeded in
rescuing the autoists, who were taken
to the police station followed by a
crowd OF shouting people. The lead
ers protested vigorously against the al
legged carelessness of the automobile
lists, and said that it was time to put
stop to such incidents, involving loss
of life which were constantly increas-
ing in numbers.
Mr.. Vanderbilt and the chauffeur
were detained at the police station, un-
der arrest and Mrs. Vanderbilt, who
was shown every attention possible,
was escorted to the best hotel in thS
town of POntadera.
