Reprisal Against Feds
ID 0UBLE-HEADER DUE
AT NAVIN FIELD TODAY
Main and COveleskie Due to OPP
pose Hamilton and Baum
gardner in Box

Although there was no game in De-
troit yesterday there was enough do
ing To stir up considerable interest
and comment in baseball circles. In
the first place Ban Johnson, chief
Emogul OF the American league, was
in the city, together with Col. Robert
Lee Hedges, owner OF the Browns.
The league chief and owner Hedges
we're In close conference for more
than two hours. Although no official
announcement as TO the matters dis
cussed was made II is generally con-
ceded that their talk had something
| TO do with methods OF warfare
against the Feds,
The Chief Johnson decision has, 1t
seems, imbued the o. b. magnates
with new life, and they have, accord
ing to the best advices, mapped out
a campaign OF reprisal in which
they propose to offer no quarter and
refuse to hearken 20 offers OF media
ton.
This is believed to have been the
object or the conference between
Johnson, Hedges and Navin.
Reports from New York indicate
that a secret meeting OF the national
commission will be called within a
short time, reports OF dissension in
the ranks having reached the men
higher up.
According to the dope the adverse
decision in the Johnson case was all
that saved several star players 10
organized baseball and fearing that
some slip may yet start the big jump.
a Wholesale blockade OF big league
talent is planned.
Hedges, who looked like one or
the worst sufferers from the Federal
invasion early in the spring, Is heart
lily In accord with any punitive
measures that may be adopted. II Is
said. The Browns boss threatened TO
tegin legal action this spring, but
was restrained.
Subsequent events showed that he
did not lose anyone OF much conse-
quence and has a better ball club
now than he has had since he broke
into the game.
Johnson is ready for anything that
will put stop TO the Feds but he
wishes to move advisedly and de-
sired to induce Hedges TO drop any
private attempts TO reprisal until the
commission could act.

wretchedly Buffalo, after a brief
spasm OF enthusiasm, has dropped
back to even attendance with the In.
ternationals. Kansas City is not
drawing we'll enough 70 pay expenses.
Baltimore is doing very we'll, and
perhaps might break even, not count:
ing the initial investment. St Louis
has been disappointment after the
first spasm. Chicago may break even.
The American league is holding It's
own during the off.year in spite OF
the Federals. But the National
league has been hit terribly hard. In
Cincinnati the only bright spot exists.
The Reds are drawing better than
they have in years, and they are the
only club that is within 80 per cent
In attendance OF last season.
The National league owners are
undoubtedly beginning to seek a way
out.
Beyond doubt the Federal league
owners would welcome an escape
from the position into which they
have forced themselves and organized
baseball.

One color-blind baseball reporter
announces that Chief Johnson Is In

Bob Long, former California State
league pitcher, struck out all ~ or
the men who faced him in semi-pro
game at Cincinnati-the remarkable
part OF 1t being that no one signed
him the next day.
IL seems. from Benefits perform
ances in eastern track meets, Califor-
Mas hat is always in the ring.
Judging from attendance figures at
the Cubs park, In Chicago, most or
the fans Quit when Murphy did.
Perhaps the Cincinnati Reds are
merely trying to doublecross Garry
Hermann and disprove his statement
that Chief Johnson was the strong
point of his team.
We are a queer race. Many a man
will give a woman his seat in the
lifeboat who wouldn't think OF doing

The senate adjourned the other day
for lack OF quorum because 60 per

The question has been fired broad
side at me so frequently since the
slump in attendance that have
made as thorough an investigation as
Is possible. Here Is the situation, so
far as ! can figure 1t:
The Federal league can last-prac-

The Federal league will lose close
to 100000 on the season at the pres
