A precedent for federal comission is

out that all efforts at Cancellation in

money, as some of the stars admit, is
liable to throw ball game for money.
Therefore, he is glad to get rid of
these fellows who have. dishonest ten
dencies. '.-
That is exactly what the statement
of Johnson means.
And if there is fear among the
magnates that these players will ac-
cept money for throwing games, why
not let them go to the Feds, pull
some queer work and put the third
league on the hummer.
For fans will recognize crooked
ness in short order and will turn from
such sport
We can't understand why Ban
won't let these fellows go ahead and
Wreckthe Feds.
johnson says it is an awful thing
for a player to admit he is in the
game for what he can get out of it.
Why is it awful? Why is it wrong
for the player to be out for the money
and right for the magnate to grab
the coin at every opportunity? Why
should a player be bound by a con-
tract with a ten-day clause which
works only one way?
This is no defense of contract
jumping. If player does not ex-
pect to live up to the terms of his
agreement he should not sign it. But
he has perfect right to invoke the
ten-day clause for his own interests
and adopt the same tactics that
Chase is following:
When he serves notice on the mag
nate that he will quit in ten days if
certain demands are not met he is
acting in good faith and doing moth
ing that is not open to the club owner.
johnson also is outraged at the
thought that Federal League repre-
sentatives should induce players to
jump and that these same players
should fall for such filthy bait as

league, then 1t was all r1Snt. Inere
was no talk then that players who
jumped for more money were so
weak morally that they might throw
games.
There was no charge that Larry
Lajoie would throw a grounder over
the grandstand for dollar or so, or
that Jimmy Callahan or Clark Grif-
fifth would wild-pitch home winning
run for As cents.
Impugning the honesty of the play
ers is small business and will have no
effect on the fans.
But here is one thing johnson
might do. He might give out the
results of the investigation of the
ticket scandal of the worlds series a
few seasons ago, in which no players
we're involved. At the time there

Editor Of The News
Will you kindly allow me space in
your paper for a few remarks?
In last Saturdays issue. / read that
our game warden, Mr.. Macdonald
knows his duty and is enforcing the
laws for the protection OF game. with
out fear or favor. He is making an
example OF those who do not respect
the law That is all right. lie draws
his salary for doing that very thing
But, reading this, set me To thinking
what protection Is given To our grow
ing generation, and especially our boys
and young men. Are they not worth
as much as the game in the woods?
Take, for instance. "A Sunday in our
town. How is the law respected?
From morning To evening, all kinds OF
business and unlawful practices Of
many kinds are carried on. Saloons
are open in fun swing. even though
the back doors only are used. The
laws OF our land and Of our state es-
pecially mention the saloon business,
and Gods law is the same, but of
more serious character than the state
and game laws.
The sheriff knows Of the violation of
the Sabbath law The mayor and the
marshal of our town know it, What
do they do? Their inactivity should
cause them shame, when compared
with the record Of our game warden.
Is 1t not time now for the people To
do something in regard to those Off
Gals, who seem to have forgotten their
pledges TO do their duty without fear
or favor?
our business people and citizens at
large are counting prosperity. our
village fathers are anxious for the
success OF those within the village.
DO they want the Devil to help them
gain the success? or do they look to
God. from whom all blessings come?
How can they expect anything from
Him unless they obey His law? Win
our churches, with their ministers in
the pulpits' every Sunday, have any
success when the saloons, theaters and
other businesses are permitted To 20 on
at the same time? We all know they
have "A great attraction for the young
folks, and their seats in the churches
will he empty IL there anything for
church people To do?
Now | want to ask, who has the best
protection, our boys and girls or the
game in the woods? Is their any diff
ference in the value OF our growing
generation and the game? Remember
the advice OF England's grand old
man'-'make it IA easy as possible for
people TO do right and as hard az pos
sible for people to do wrong."-From
