unconditional release from the ST Louis

his four-year contract, the other National
League clubs will have ten days in which
to negotiate with him for his services.
The same conditions apply to Chance If

his Chicago engagement.
OF course, under base ball law Bresna-
han and Chance can be sold to any other
club in the National League. but 1t is a
sure thing that they will stand in the
way of a sale of any kind. If the other
National League clubs should fail to
reach a financial agreement with either
Bresnahan or Chance it is a question
whether the deposed managers could open
negotiations with American League clubs.
Such state of affairs never has existed
since the major leagues signed the peace
agreement and appointed the national
base ball commission ten years ago. It
is believed that the national commission
would have to pass upon the merits of
the managers cases before they would

GR|FF HAS SALARY
RAISED BY CLUB
Nationals Manager to Draw
$4,000 for Services in
the Future.
INCREASE COMES AS
A SURPRISE TO HIM
Controversy With McGraW Is
Settled and Giants Will Play
Here in the Spring.
BY ]. ED GRILLO.

Clark Griffith will be one Of the highest
salaried managers in the American
League next season. At a meeting of
the board Of directors of the Washington
club held yesterday Griffith's salary was
increased from $1,000 to $4,000 per sea-
son. This action by the directors was in
appreciation Of the teams splendid show
ing under Grifhth's regime. The increase
came as surprise to Griffith. who was
asked to attend the board meeting previ-
Mont. where he intends to spend couple
Of weeks hunting.
The figure which Griffith's contract now
calls for is the same as the one he drew
in Cincinnati "a position which he gave
up to come here, at a lower figure, but
with the opportunity to become a stock
holder in the club. AS a result of the
clubs prosperity Griffith has Jared bet
ter since his connection with the local
club than he ever has before, and the in
crease in salary came to him as genuine
surprise.
month. and Immediately upon his return
will start the work of preparing for next
season. John Henry is to join Griffith
in Chicago today and make the trip with
Ills manager.
The controversy emanating from the
failure of McGraw to pitch Mathewson
in one of the exhibition games here last
spring has been smoothed over and the
Giants will be one OF the exhibition sea-
son attractions again next spring. Crit
fifth and the Giants leader have come to-
gether and games will be arranged for
early in April with the understanding
that neither side pledges itself to use
certain pitchers.
Reports from California are to the eff
feet that Walter Johnson is to pitch for
one Of the winter leagues in that sec
ton. It is to be hoped that such is not
the intention of Griffith's star twirler
Johnson. like all pitchers, needs lot of
rest between seasons to keep him on
edge. 1t would be serious mistake for
him to work his arm all winter. He
owes 1t to himself and to his club to pre-
serve his arm as long as possible. He
is we'll paid for his services during the
