for being the most valuable player in
the American league last season has

secutive seasons from 1907 to 1913
amassed this total In fact, only three
other men have famed over 900 ball
players in this length of time They
are Ed Walsh, Nap Rucker and Christy
Mathewson.
Big Ed Walsh, the spitball star of
the White Sox, has been Johnson's
closest rival for the title of strikeout
king The Chicagoan has sent i ,405
batters back to the bench since he has
been a contemporary of the Senatorial
star. Walsh twirled in only sixteen
games last season, but from 1907 to
1913. inclusive, he took part in forty
eight more battles than the renowned
Kansan.

Then the National put up a howl
about the wickedness of the Amer
lean, but the only consolation they
got was loud and prolonged laughter
from the same people who are now
kicking.
The National League will be drawn
into the scrap at once, as the powers
of the National Commission will be
invoked in the war of the Feds.
And when the Tener Terrors begin
to cry about contract jumpers they
should not forget John McGraw, who,
while manager of the Baltimore team
in the American League, hoped to
New York over night, taking with him
the cream of the talent, disrupting
the club and compelling other teams
to lend the Orioles players to finish
the season.
Baltimore will never forget that af-
fair, which is one reason the outlaws,
so-called, are being received with
open arms.
But why go into ancient history?
Let organized ball remember Viii
hams ana BaumSaTQner OF the same
Browns who were raided yesterday.
They signed with the Feds and were
then snatched back. How about Kah-
Ter and Blanding of the Maps, who
also signed Fed contracts and were
then resigned by Cleveland? And
what about Bill Killifer of the Phil
lies, whose troubles will be settled by
court in Grand Rapids, Mich, to-
morrow.
Neither side is in a position to set
itself up as model of purity and
point at the other as sinner. Every
one Of them have violated contracts
at some period of their existence.
President johnson of the American
League says he will prevent Hamilton
performing with the Feds if it takes
every dollar in tibet reasury. That

VIII not SCanQ up DeIOTe the legal
searchlight.
Though not called upon to take up
the contracts, the judge declared that
they were not binding because of lack
of mutually He pointed to the ten
day clause to bear out his opinion,
saying that while the clubs could re-
lease a player by giving ten-day no
tice, there was no such alternative
for the players protection.
President Gilmore has thrown off
all restraint on his managers. They
have been licensed to rove at will,
signing players anywhere they can.
Gilmore has probably been leading
up to this stand for some time. He
was foxy enough to wait until his
league had been well advertised and
had secured some good players.
Simmered down, the Hamilton
case, and any other case of contract
jumping, means that real war has
opened up. Now the reserve bank
rolls must be called on, and the vic
tory will go to the fellows who keep
the. loosest clutch on their coin.
If the battle gets into the courts
on the Hamilton case it will go
against the organized gang, if the
opinion of the Arkansas judge in the
Camnitz case acts as a precedent.
The National Commission may de-
eide to keep away from the law
sharks and rely on the wealth in its
Golfers to combat the Feds.
Which eVer,way the verdict falls, it
will not affect the fans, and the play
ers will profit, for time at least.
So why should we on the sidelines
get all worked up over a fight that
must be borne by the magnates?
Against Kansas City yesterday the
Sox behaved like regular up-stand-
ing ball team, batting hard and time
ly, fielding well and running the
bases with their heads up. Score,
