HOLDS SIGNING OF JOHNSON
HARD BLOW TO OLD LEAGUE
President of Chifeds Says Walter Adopted
Only Manly Course Solid
ity of Circuit Is Established.

CHICAGO, December 5.-Charles
Weeghman, president Of the Chicago
Federal League club, when asked for
a statement on the probable effect of
the signing of Walter Johnson, had
the following to say: .
ANY doubt that remains as to the
sincerity and the solidity of the Fed
eral League must be wiped out now
that the magnates Of the new body have
displayed the greatest nerve and con-
fidence possible in themselves and in
each other
THE signing of Walter johnson was
the blow to organized base ball that
broke the heart Of everybody connected
with either Of the old leagues. 1t
showed the owners and others in Or
ganized base ball that the new league
is in this fight for all time and never
was merely fash in the pan.' as we
were spoken of so unkindly by our
rivals
walter Johnson is not only one of
the greatest figures in base ball today.
but he is a thorough man, as his deal
ings with US Indicated in every sense.
He did not haggle with US any more
than he did with the men who had up
to now employed him. Personally. L
course. He said he was a professional
athlete who wanted to get all Of the
money he could during the length Of
his athletic life.
Who can blame a bail player for
that? Their careers are all too short
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-12-06

at best. and most of them just be-
come known and liked to the fans
when their careers come to an end. It
is a case of getting the greatest re-
wards possible for the athletic gift
they possess.
Other distressing Incidents
1.-THE Federal League followed up the
Johnson incident by a couple of others
that were equally distressing to or
ganized base ball. Vanguard will be
with US. So will Plank and Bender and
several others.
cit means that the Federal League
must be recognized as a major organi-
zation. Why not? Haven't we the
great players, some of them the great
est that organized base ball ever boast
ed? We are paying them their price
and they will give us their services.
We have a strong league and will have
the support.
at is the player and not the magnate
who is the real bulwark of a base ball
team. A clubs patrons pay to see bali
players and do not go to base ball
park because this man or that one
owns the team. The Federal League
will give it's patrons the greatest base
ball, played by the greatest stars in
the game, and we expect to win
Every inch we gain-a new organi-
zation-is foot lost to organized base
ball. Every foot we gain is a furlong
lost to the old-line magnateS, who can
not see anything but their organiZa-
tions. It's business with us-the busi-
ness of furnishing the best base ball.
Just watch us do it,

other the Reserves. In this way he
hopes to cause a great deal of keen
competition for positions as regulars.
There is lot of good material at
Kendall Green and Haas seems to be of

Some managers in the major leagues
forbid their players engaging in golf,
at least during the base ball season.
Their reason is that golflng intefferes
with the players batting, spelling the
swing or chop they use Mt the plate.
Several ball players. also enthusiast
tic golfers, suffered batting slumps
last season and these were attributed
to the activity shown by these men on
the links.
Now, Ty Cobb is an enthusiastic golf
