Unless the Federal League is unable
TO make good its claims or the Wash
ington ball club makes an offer about
twice as much as the present salary
figures. Walter johnson may sever his
connection with this city before next
season. This was admitted today by
the greatest pitcher in baseball.
Joe Tinker, manager of the Chicago
Feds, who played the Andrews team in
Washington yesterday, was closeted
with johnson for an hour at the Con-
tinental Hotel last night. The result
of the meeting is told above. NO
Johnson assured Tinker that before
signing with the Nationals he would
listen to proposals from the Federals,
reserving all the time, the right to
give Washington a chance to bid before
formally joining the ranks Of the out
laws.
He Likes Washington.
'T have nothing but a feeling Of
friendship and good will toward the
people of Washington. Their treatment
OF me has been great, but then 1 must
look forward to the day when l can
no longer play ball, and no one who is
reasonable can blame me for looking TO
my best interests at this time, was
Johnson's explanation at the Dewey this
morning.
johnson went on to say that before
he would go to the Federals his salary
would have to be secured, but he made
IL plain that if the outlaws Inducements
were sufficiently strong he would CO.
unless Washington met the figures COM
ing from Chicago. The pitcher, while
declaring that he did not talk salary,
satisfied Tinker that before again sign
ing with the Nationals, he would allow
the Feds to make an offer, intimating
that the salary would have to be $4,000
or better a season for term of years
The Washington ball club does not
take up the matter of re-signing play
ers until the close of the campaign,
but those who know Johnson and his
ideas relative to honesty will under
stand that signing with washington
will be dependent upon the PROPOSE
ton that comes from the league that
has already deprived the Nationals of
Bob Groom, one of its few experience
ed twirlers. johnson Will fulfill his
present contract that endures to the
end of this season. The dealings with
the Feds would have to do with 1915
and subsequent years.
Salary Said To Be sI2,oco.
Johnson's salary now is said to be
$4,000 a year and that substantial
increase will come next season seems
reasonable. But the loss of the king
OF pitchers would be one of the worst
calamities that could overcome the
club here. Johnson has been the main
spring during the last two spurts that
have landed the Nationals in a posi-
ton that had not before been dream
ed Of. Through his individual efforts
more games have been won than by
the work of any one or two men IN
the combination.
The Feds started out to strike organ

The match yesterday was the first OF

for two Philadelphia teams and many
matches between the captains and vice
captains teams will be played. The
loss of a number of last years play

hoped that their places will he filled

Emil Thirty to Manage
Willie Richie Hereafter

CHICAGO. May 25.-Emil Thirty has
signed a contract with Champion Willie
Iiitchie, and hereafter the former man.
ager Of Packey Mcfarland will handle
the affairs of the title holder.
When Ritchie and his manager Harry
Foley. split up there was some talk Of
Willie working under the wing OF Jimmy
Coffroth, but this the champion denies.
His agreement with Foley was for a
short term only, and when he was in
Chicago preparing for his battle with
Wolgast, the champion asked Thirty to
again take hold of him. 1t was Emil
VINO brought out Ritchie originally, but
because of the fact that both Willie
and Mcfarland were light weights, Emil
was forced to drop one, and Ritchie was
willing to set out for himself.
McFarlands retirement to go into the
brewery business prompted Thirty to
accept Ritchies proposition and
although Willie announced that his
brothers would handle his affairs he
and Emil got together upon his arrival
here. with the result that today both
announced that in the future Thirty
would handle all the matches and other
business affairs of the champion.

JUMP TO FEDERALS IF
GRIFFITH DOESN'T PAY
Kng of Pitchers Admits He To Joe Tinker He Was Open to
Offer From Outlaw Leaguers-He Will Give Washing
ton Club First Chance to Bid, Though.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

ICED baseball by weakening the con-
tenders for the pennant, leaving the
apparently strongest teams intact. Ihe
idea was to destroy interest In the race
in the American and National League
Washington is conceGtd to nave a
chance this year, but the elimination
of johnson would mean the shatterins
of every aspiration that this city mas
of finishing in the van next year or IN
several future years.
II yesterdays exhibition at Andrews
Park may be taken as a criterion, Joe
Tinker has a much more finished ball
club than have the Baltimore Federals.
Yesterday the Chifeds easily defeated
the Andrews team by 10 to 0, while a
one-run margin was all that Baltimore
was able to hold over the local players
one week before.
Tinker, while he remained in the game,
seemed to have as much life and dash
a part of that famous double play
Evers to Tinker to Chance.
Tinker has surrounded himself with
pretty likely looking band of players,
and he seems to have absolute conf
dence in the success of the Feds, de-
claring there is no chance of the league
going under. He pertinently called at
tention to the ante-season statements
OF some that the league would never
start, and repeated his assertion that
the two major leagues have already
been forced to pay more in advances in
salaries than it cost the Feds to ALLEVIATE
the several men they got from the
major ranks.
The following tabulation shows that
the Nationals made greater advances
last week than any club in the Ameri-
can League:
