The mythical all-star team OF the
Eastern section of the country must
leave out of its lineup as many
great players as it carries. There Is
a surfeit of premier performers this
season, particularly m the backfield
However, all-star elevens are chosen
year after year and 1914 offers as
much of a field as ever before, even
in footballs greatest years.

who lost money in excess of $50 600. The
situation here was not so bad. but the
Washington club decided not to declare
dividends this winter.
Those who were most prone 10 at
tempt to make the Feds the subjects OF
their tests for months have finally come
20 a realization of their own short
s.shtedness. Had Charley Weeshman,
of Chicago. or the Wards, of Brooklyn,
been accepted into the organization, II
would probably have meant the total
collapse of the Gilmore structure.
So selfsatisfied was the august trib-
unal. composed of johnson, Hermann.
and Tener, that they were satlshed 10
restrict their treatment OF the Feds to
flaying the league and most OF those
connected with il. First they declared
the league could not get players. then u
would never start. then II would not
finish and finally abruptly ending pro
pOsals Of peace a short time ago. Ihen
came the loss of Plank. Bender. ana
Johnson, three of the most valuable as
sets the American League mas ever
known; then came the awakening OF the
National Commission.
Griffith said today that when there
was a conference looking to the sale
Of the Chicago Cubs 70 Weeghman and
an agreement to take care Of the Wards
with a major franchise he thought the
whole thing wolId be settled. But to-
day the Washington leader confesseS
that he is in ignorance as to what meth
DDS will be adopted TO end the war.
The impression gained in interviews
that Griffith does not appreciate to the
fullest the gravity OF the situation
caused by the loss OF Johnson Is mis-
| leading Nobody knows better than the
manager himself that in the unprece-
dented success he has achieved since
assuming charge here and Investing his
Iife's savings in the corporation here,
! johnson has been by all odds the most
important factor. Others have helped
hut without Johnson It IS doubtful II
the Nationals would ever have finished
in tho first section OF the league. John
son has added TO the Golfers as vel as
10 the managerial fame of Griffith. II is
the loss OF this individual that has
brought Griffith to an understanding OF
the full force of the Federals' blow and
has placed him in a state of mind o.
being more reasonable to accept any
thing to place baseball back on the
plane that il occupied before Gilmore

1915 Contracts.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

That there is the slightest possibility
Of the detection of any Washington
players now within the fold was denied
by Clark Griffith today when he started
for New York to attend the meeting at
which organized baseball is TO outline
a plan to combat the Federal League
in its efforts to ALLEVIATE players.
However. the manager admitted that
Joe Boehling and Alva williams have
yet to sign. He insists he expects no
difficulty in landing these men. He has
had seyera. letters from BOehling. who
says the injured knee has completely
recovered and that he will come TO
Washington shortly to talk business
with his chief.
"All this talk of other men following
Johnson is pure rubbish quoth the
manager. johnson thinks that he can
wiggle out of that optional agreement;
we insist he can't. But whatever the
courts decide in that case, you can rest
assured that no man who has a con-
tract in our safe at present will get
away
Griffith admitted that he has heard
rdmors of further OBJECTIONS. but his
declaration that these are impossible is
based on the fact that all Of his players
signed are under the revised contracts
prepared by the most skillfuI legal ad-
vice obtainable. Among those who have
assured the National Commission that
