OF 81 per cent OF the stock from the
present owners to himself He stated
today that he had made his proposition
to the stockholders OF the Washington
club. but has not received their final
answer.
McAleer does not feel that he has
been given fair deal at St Louis and
intimates that the principal differences
between himself and present employers
are purely of a monetary nature. II

Why Charge Is Weak.
The charge that I am not faithful to

because I am an owner in the American
Association is absurd. II l were tied UP

Il want to make myself clear on two
points-one is my high personal regard
for the treatment have received from
the directors Of the Washington Club,
and the other IS that Jimmy McAieer
acted as clean. and as white as ever a
man did when IL was intimated to lin
/ that the owners wanted to tai6 with

he got the tip he came directly 70 my

/ but we both surnised what the subject

McAleer's Clean Action.
He announced that he would not even
iconsider a proposition 10 come to Wash
ington unless IT was definitely settled
that IL was impossible for me 10 get II.
MY reply was that II he had been sent
for it was apparent I was no longer in
the running and the place was open to
all Corners. Personally. I am glad that
an experienced man like McAleer, who
has had his share Of hard luck, is to
take hold Of the youngsters 1 have
picked up I think they will develop
into winners and want some fellow who
| deserves 1t to be with them when they

rectors were unanimous In agreeing

my experience with Johnson has
been that Of Jimmy Manning, Bill Ar
mour. and everybody else who has been
his friend. He tries to coddle you
along, but he Is anxious TO trim you all
the time. 1 have known him for years
and have been one OF the best and most
useful friends he ever had, but he has
not hesitated to knife me I'm the long
distance way he did in this Washington
matter.
When Johnson became president OF
the Western League he was a joke. He
knew nothing whatever about running a
lea que, disciplining players, keeping
owners In line and all that, and he was
constantly calling upon re for advice.
He was apparently grateful and was al
ways telling me how much he appre-
ciated my efforts in his behalf I was
at the birth Of the American League
and was one Of the few umptres in its
stormy early days who stuck It out and

meeting of the board last Monday
which was in the nature Of threat, and
practically drove the directors into fol-
lowing Johnsons tip or taking some
dire consequences, which were not speci-
fed.
One Of the directors in explaining The
situation this morning said:
1T was unfortunate for Cantilion
that Johnson got in his work at rue
time when the road was clear. ices
contract expires tiiis season, and the
question before us was the selection Of
a manager for 1910 JohnsOn's prep
osltion was that il was for the best
interests Of the league to let Cantinon
so. and he put IT so strongly that a
majority Of the directors decided on
that course, against their Wills, al
though there were rebellious spirits who
would not have heSitated 70 do as they
pleased. Had it been a question of
discharging a man under contract or
of changing the ownership and met
DDS of the club, ii would have been
different and Johnson would nos have
carried his point"
Merely Suggested McAleer.
II must be said in justice TO McAIeer
that he proved a true sportsman and
declined to discuss the subject Of man
aging the team before he found that
Cantinon's case was absolutely hore-
less. Also, Johnson did not force Nc
AIeer on the club. The president Of the
| league suggested Harry Davis, George
Davis. Tommy Mccarthy, and several
others along with McAleer, and did not
| insist upon any one man especially.
McAleer has had a checkered career
! in St Louis frequently getting good
starts up the ladder and then having
hard falls. He has tried all sorts Of
/ experiments with young and old play
/ ers but has recently come TO the con-
clusiOn that the only way 10 begin Is
I at the bottom with youngsters and
| work them into winners by keeping
them together. He has been acting on
