CLARK Gr11flCn, manager OF the WASH"
ington team, says he will sue Johnson
to "the ends of the EARTH" claiming
there was a provision in his contract
which gave Washington an option on
his 1915 services.
Whether such clause will stand in
court is matter for the law sharks.
1t sounds very much like the reserve
clause, which came in for some
bumps.
Several things are said to have red
up to Johnson's decision to jump.
When he was flirting with the Slou-
feds Washington made him an offer
of 5000 for a three-year contract.
Then, when the st. Louis team quit
bidding, Washington withdrew its Of
fer, thinking Walter was in trap.
Thereupon the big fellow declared
he would never sign another con-
tract with Washington and an effort
was made to trade him to the New
York Yankees in order to keep him
in organized baseball 1t was point
ed out that New York could pay the
salary for the advertising it would
get out of having Johnson on the
team.
Ban johnson, of course, gets into
the controversy. It is an excellent
opportunity for the American league
executive, who has been unusually
quiet since the season closed.
Walter, according to Ban, injured
himself seriously with the baseball
public when he acknowledged he was
out for the coin" That sounds like
the veriest bunk.
johnson fulfilled his contract with
Washington, stuck through last sea-
son when he had frequent opportuni-
ties to go to the new league. He
gave Washington the best he had and
worked faithfully several seasons
ago, when it took a stout heart to
nitoh for tho CunD6rt fI1Tnichod nv
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-12-04

Johnson was too expensive to be
carried on a payroll.
Just what Walters salary will be
for working on the north side is not
known. It is at. least $4,000 and
may be nearer $4,000. He should
be worth it as drawing card, both
to the local team and every other
club in the league.
Just how Johnson's salary is being
put up is known only to directors of
the league. President Weeghman at
one time thought the league as a
whole should pay percentage of
Johnson's salary. He argued that the
pitcher would be an asset to every
city in the organization, and believed
he should be helped in paying for the
advertising that would result. Wheth-
er he was able to convince his fellow
magnates of this remains a secret.
johnson did not have as good a
record last year as in 1913. He was
not quite so effective, but with any
team able to have given him decent
offensive and defensive support would
have won many more games. On
several occasions he was charged
with a defeat in spite of holding the
opposition in check, because Wash
ington couldn't produce runs,
That johnson is going back is not a
reasonable belief He is a young
man, in spite of comparatively long
service in the big league, and has new
er been overworked. He is not the
rescuing type of pitcher, as were
Mordeci Brown and Ed Walsh, and
has seldom been used except when it
was his regular turn for box duty.
This fact has served to conserve
his energy. In addition to this, John
son has an easy movement that has
been commented on by every big
league ball player and critic in the
country. His motion is not wearing
on tha arm muscles in cDito of tho
