Mack Heydon when he first joined the

EdntillOn did not think Heydon was
taking the best care OF himself and
probably told him so. but neither he
nor Anderson. no matter what might
have been said 90 them. had anv right
from the standpoint OF baseball law or
the ethics OF good sportsmanship To Quit
the club secretly. Had they come out
open!y at the end Of the "cussfnz
match or al actual brawl and an
nOunced that they were zone and would
never play for CantiliJn again they
might have had some excuse but the
evidence Of all those familiar with the
t"'c cases is conclusive that thew sim
ply packed up their dGls and fitted

their employers or their fellow pla -ers
who were naturally eager 20 -et out
OF last place or az least keep from
making a ridiculous showing in the
American League
The Washington times., 1908-05-06


The national commission Is at Il
again. and has fined the Washington
club S25 in each case for disposing Of
Mack Heydon, catcher. and John An
derson, outfielder and first bdseman, af-
ter they had jumped the club last sea-
SON This fine WIS imposed. according
TO the washington officials. entirely
upon an ex-parte statement by the play
ers. who were not mulcted one penny
for their serious breach OF baseball law
in quitting their club in the middle Of
the season without a word OF warm
ing. The national commissions excuse
was that the players were justified in
their action because they had been re-
viled and otherwise treated with con-
tumely by Cantillon. This fine is i'm
posed at this late day. and with slur-
ring and contemptuous fling at Cantil-
Ion. although Ban Johnson, president OF
the American League, was fully cog
infant that the two players were being
disposed Of. He had TO know all about
it because tho waivers on Heydon, who
is now with Indianapolis. and the sale
or Anderson 10 the Chicago Americans.
had 10 pass through his office and re-
ceive his approval.
The question naturally arises; IF
johnson, member Of the commission and
president Of the league, knew Washing
ton was committing an offeuse in trans
ferring the two men 20 other clubs,
what kind OF an official was he when
lie did not put his foot down on the
proceedings? Was he willing TO violate
the obligations 10 his own Office in or
der to take a petty crack at his enemy.
CantillOn, IN the wording of the de-
CisiOn announced yesterday? II he did
not know the Washington Club was
breaking a baseball law, what good
does it do the league to have him scru-
tiniZe and pass upon all contracts and
waivers in his leaEue2 The inference is
unavoidabl that ne either deliberately
allowed the Washington club 10 commit
q baseball miSdemeanOr, or does not
know what is going on in his own Office.
Again, II CantillOn's action was all
wrong, why have Johnson and Heydon
been allowed TO play this season with
out a word from the commission or
Johnson until the season is three weeks
old?
The Washington times., 1908-05-06

Anderson did have a serious Crouch on
the washington club. and he was hos
tile toward Cantiuon, but not because
Cantillon abused him. His disaffecuon
was due 10 the fact that he realized
when the club was in Galveston IN 1917
that CantillOn was going 10 start from
the bottom and build a club entirely OF
youthful or new material. getting rid OF
even the good veterans he had at that
time. I'm pursuance Of definite policy OF
Welding eOgJher a team that would
carry out his ideas Of baseball IN
his own manner.
Anderson was and still IS a classy
performer. but he was not tempera-
mentally suited TO the furtherance or
We'll as the manager. He knew that he
other and was very greatly disturbed
over tha prospects OF being released by
what Was then a tail-end club. he was
unusually sensitive for a ban player,
brOodcd much and talked little, and this
thought of being sold or traded as not
good enoUs-h for cellar champion cut
him to the quick.
That was the real reason for his sud
den departure TO his New England home
last SUmme- without one word OF warn
ing to tire club and leaving Cantillol
without a first basemau. Had the ne p
tiOnal commission and Ban Johnson
taken the trouble to look into the fact 3
