Hackenschmidt or Mahmout in another

Last fall he was in charge of the

Signing Nationals.

One Of Jimmy McAleer's strictest
rules in the past has always been not
TO give out anything concerning the
players who have signed until the list
is practically complete.
At this season of the year there is
hardly day passes that there is not a
report from some other city of this or
that player affxing his signature TO the
papers. In New York Brooklyn, and
Chicago this is particularly true, and the
fans in those places have gotten into a
habit of preparing a roster of the club
and checking off the names of the play
ers as the papers announce signing.
With MCAleer ii is all different. Oc-
casionally a player will tell some friend
or writer that he has sent in his con-
tract, but this Information never comes
from the National manager. MCAleer's S
theory in holding back names is that
should there be a delay in announcing
some player, the impression Immediately
goes out that there is holdout. Such a
condition is likely 10 hurt both player
and club, the former because of un-
reasona bleness in dealing with employ
er and the latter because of some sup
posed parsimonious policy of the own
ers
often it happens thai players will re-
turn their contracts with requests of
changes in one clause or another Some
times 1t is the temperance clause. some
times it is the bonus clause. and some
times it is a question of salary; but in
81 per cent of the cases an agreement
is soon reached when the manager and
nlayer. get together
So there will be nothing doing Off
ciaHv in the announcement of signed
Nationals until Jimmy McAieer gives
out the whole list.

PRIEST ALLOWED
TOLEAVEL
Washington Club Waived on Player Several Weeks Ago
McAleers Theory of Not Giving Out Contract
Signers-Former National In Hard Luck
By THOMAS KIRBY.

Johnny Priest, the Washington boy,
who has been transferred to lndianap-
oils by the New York Yankees, will not
only go TO the American Association
team. but there will be no hitch, so far
as the Washington ball club is con-
sidered.
1t was announced here yesterday that
there must be some mistake, as there
was no record at headquarters of the
Nationals having given their consent
to have Priest leave the league. and
that in case New York did not want the
player, he would be brought to Wash
ington to fill in the infield.
AS a matter of fact, there was never
a question as to the right of the Yam
KEGS to send the young star to what
ever minor league they chose. Several
weeks ago President Frank Farrell sent
out requests for waivers on a whole as
sortment of players-old and young.
McAleer studied the list, and, while
he hesitated on two of the men, he de-
Cided to forfeit whatever right Wash
ington might have to Priest. AS no
other American League club was will
ing to pay the waiver price on the play
er, Manager Hal Chase decided to send
him to Indianapolis for further season
ing, after which he will be brought
back to New York for a real trial.
While it is the conviction of most
critics who have seen Priest in action
that the Washington boy has a bright
future ahead on the diamond, the man
ayers feel that he should have further
experience before fitting into such a
clever combination as New York and in
such a fast league as the American.

Famous Catcher Declines to

CHICAGO, June 12.-Chicago Ma
tional league players, when informed
Yesterday that John King refused TO
play any longer with the Boston club,
TO which he was traded Saturday, at
tributed Kings action to a long cher.
shed determination to play only with
the Chicago club.
King on Saturday appeared salts
fed with the deal and seemed willing
10 join Boston and give the team his
best efforts. After having time TO
think 1t over he evidently changed his
mind and decided to retire or else get
larger salary. He is said to have
told some of his friends on the Cub
team that he ought to have more
money and that he would refuse to re-
port unless he got it,
This apparent change of front by
King, it is claimed by the Cub man
agement, did not affect the status of
the deal beyond giving the other par
