Chicago, Ill, Dec. 23.-Joe Cantillon. man
ager Of the Washington American League
team, and half owner in the Milwaukee
American Association Club, sprung a new
angle to the talk Of a war waged by the
association.
He doubts if the association will try TO
invace Chicago now that President Ar
mour, Of Toledo. says he will not be
party to the raid. But he admits that the
association is laying plans to get out Of
organized ball as soon as possible. even
If it doesn't try TO put a club in here
Said Cantinon:
The association is tired OF being bOssed
by little towns Ike Oshkosh and Battle
Creek, which, with their dinky leagues,
have as much to say in running affairs
as big cities like Columbus and Indian
apolis, where thousands Of dollars are in
vested IN baseball franchises with scarce
~ any protection. The small fry in the
minor leagues outnumber the more In
portant bodies. OF course. and by mere
numbers control the whole situation.
In matters OF drafting players, for in

We shall do or shall not do. They domi-
