Chicago, Dec. 19.-Charles Weigh
man. president of the Chicago Federal
League club, said tonight that he
would take every legal step possible to
enforce Johnson's contract with the
Federals.
81 have had 10 opportunity as yet TO
consult counsel" said Weeghman. 81
will say, however, .hat we will go the
limit 10 prevent Johnson breaking his
contract with us. | cannot believe 1t
possible that he has signed another con-
tract. The information astounded me-.
After weeks Of angling by both
sides in the baseball war, Joe Tinker,
manager of the Chicago Feds, sue
ceeGed on December 3 in cornering
Walter Johnson at his home in Corey
Vile, Kan, and induced him to sign a
two-year contract with the Chicago
Federal League team.
Previous to the successful raid by
TIE Feds, johnson had declared that he
was willing to give Washington first
ana last chance to bid for his services,
but that his ultimate decision would be
governed wholly by the amount of
money offered. Johnson is generally
CONCEDED to be the fastest pitcher in
tn game TO-DAY. i : not the fastest shat
the game has ever known. Last season
he RAJ ked third among the pitchers of
the American League, with a mark Of
LII earned runs by opponents per
game.
Although his work showed little
ia ling off from the preceding season,
he illustrated his usefulness by work
ing in more games than any pitcher in
the organization. He was called to the
mound in no less than. fifty-one con-
tests, and pi.C ed 81 2-3 innings. His
best year was 1918, when he led the
league and allowed 1.09 earned runs
per game

DEAL FOR YANKEES
STRIKES A SNAC
Colonel Rupert and Ban
Johnson Fail to Come
to- Terms.
FORMER HOLDS OUT
FOR A STAR MANAGER
Both Parties Going to Chicago
Soon and May Resume
Dickering There.

French Lick, Ind, Dec. 10 --NePotis-
tions here between Ban Johnson, presi
cent of the American League, and Colo
mel Jacob Rupert and Captain I. l..
Huston for the sale of the New York
American League club were broken of
tonight without an agreement, but
probably will be taken up in Chicago
reXt week.
According to announcement, Colonel
Rupert fixed $4,000 as the highest
price he would pay for the club, and
that only after the services of GER
tain manager, whose name was with
held, had been obtained for the team.
Johnson said tonight that he not only
would not meet the price offered by
Colonel Rupert, but he could not
guarantee that the manager would be
obtained.
The schedule committee completes
the playing arrangements for 1913 to-
day, but said that they would not be
made public until at meeting to be
held in New York in February.
Johnson departed tonight for chi,
cago. Colonel Rupert said he and
Captain Huston would depart for
indianapolis tomorrow, and probably
would go TO Chicago on Monday. While
none Of the principals said anything
about continuing the negotiations for
the sale Of the New York Americans
ia Chicago. the fact that Colonel Rup-
pert and Captain Huston expected to
20 there Monday was taken to indl-
cate that the deal had not been dei-
nitely declared off.
No reason why Colonel Rupert
should limit his price to 100000,
when earlier in the week he had said
that he would pay as nigh as $3.50, 900
for the club, could be learned. John.
son said that the players demanded
by Rupert could possibly be signed,
but he was not sure about the mana
ger.
Baseball men here laughed at the
story that Joe Kelly, former Baltimore
star and leader last year of the To-
ronto team, would be manager OF the
N,w York Americans next year.
