INTERNAL STRIFE
D|SRUPTS MACK MEN
fractional Fights May Mean Sale
of All Athletic
Players
Steeial to The Telegraph

[ New York, Dec. 7.-Internal trou-
bles of a serious character are said
to be facing Manager Connie Mack
Dissension is said to have broken
out in the ranks of the stars, and it
may be necessary for Mack to dis
pose of all of his great ballplayers
before the trouble is rooted out.
Old age and overconfidence gener-
ally will destroy a Championship ball
team, but dissension seems to be the
big cause of the breaking up of the
grand combination that led the Ameri-
can League for several years.
Age has not caused any of the
members of the team to be dropped
from the list, but dissatisfaction is
behind the efforts of Manager Mack
to get rid of Bender and Oldring, the
first batch of players to be offered for
trade or for sale.
There is a rumor that the big trou-
BILE in the ranks of the Athletic players
is between two factions headed by Ira
Thomas and Eddie Collins. Thomas
has been very close to Manager Mack
Tor severay years, and his influence
with the leader has been q little too
great to please the other members of
the team.
Thomas Opposed Collins
Collins has also been close to his
manager, but the methods of Thomas
evidently have been Objectionable to
some of the players who have sided
with Collins
The fact that Collins has used much
inside information in writing his
newspaper articles has caused the
Thomas faction to oppose him. The
fight between Thomas and Collins
dates back to last Spring, when the
big catcher was elected captain over
the. star second sacker.
Mack is puzzled over the problem
means that he will have to release
one or the other of his star men in
order to free the team of the internal
feud.

the Washington club of the American
League for several seasons, has been
drawing $4,000 a year. Marquard
got $4,000 year from the New York
Giants.
johnson is said to have been signed
for the Chicago Federal League club
by Joe Tinker, manager, for at least
$4,000 year. while Marquard went
to the Brooklyn club of the same
league.
johnson may be considered the most
valuable pitcher in baseball. 1t is
probable that he would sell for a
higher price than any other man
pitching. Marquard was bought from
Indianapolis by the Giants for $11 1000.
He did not show well in the first sea-
son, but he made up later, and was
rated the greatest pitcher in the
country for one season.
The signing of these contracts is
the answer of the Federal League to
the charge of organized baseball that
the Federals were on the rocks and
would not open the season of 1915
The Federals have signed many other
players from both big leagues and
the minors of organized baseball
Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash
ington club, insists Johnson has no
legal right to jump to the Federal
League, and~that he will sue for dam
ages. The New York club declares
that there are iron-clad contracts with
Marquard and suits will follow his
signing with the Federals of Brooklyn.
