RAIN CUTS OFF A
LOT OF BASEBALL
Yankees, Giants, Superbas and
Tip Tops Idle Because of a
Light Shower.

Low pressure and acute depression
marked the weather along the Allan
tic seaboard yesterday. There was no
baseball to speak Of. for the Yankees
The Giants, the Superbas and the Tip
Tops were idle.
OF course. it might be said that oven
on some Of the brightest days there
has been no baseball TO speak Of in
the Giant games, but such remarks
are no longer in place, since McGraw
and his men have begun their winning
streak.
IL is only a one-game streak as yet,
but its possibilities are great.
The Yankees, whose list Of success
siye victories is already up 10 six, had
20 put over winning for a day, and
just now Donovan's demons simply
hate 10 waste twenty-four hours with
out defeating somebody or other. I'm
doubtedly they will be doubly fierce
to-day.

WANTS BASEBALL
OUT OF COURTS
President of the American
League Talks Strongly
on the Question.
SAYS SUGGESTION
HAS HIS CONSENT
Reference Made to All Suits at
Issue Between Federal League
and Organized Baseball.

Boston, May 4. Ban r. Johnson,
president Of the American League, de
clared himself to-day strongly in favor
OF Withdrawing all suits between or
gained baseball and the Federal
League from the courts.
A suggestion to this effect from
Philip Ball, president Of the st. Louis
club Of the Federal League, he said,
met with his consent
Mr.. Johnson explained that the suit
in the Illinois Federal court now await
ing decision by Judge Keneshaw VI.
lands was not referred 10 in particu-
lar.
The suggestion and my acceptance
OF it, he said, referred to the suits
generally at issue between the Federal
League interests and those allied with
the National Commission. Baseball
should have been kept out Of the
courts, and It is not now too late to
reach an agreement outside OF the
courtroom. believe"
President Johnson read dispatches
from various sections Of the country, In
which other baseball league officials
said they knew nothing of the proposal
/ to withdraw the suits. He smiled as
he read some Of them, but he declined
TO make any comment
In addition to the suit pending be
fore Judge lands. in which it has been
said that organized baseball as an in
stituton is vitality interested, Prcsi-
dent Johnson said the other suits to
which organized baseball and the Fed
eral League either directly or in
/ directly were parties affected indi
vidual players who had jumped con-
tracts.
lie expressed the opinion that the
national game as professionalism
would be Uttered by the trials which
it is undergoing"
He asserted that peace or an agree
ment between organized baseball and
the Federal League was not immedi
ately in sight and had not recently
been discussed but he added that he
had no fears for the future.
Mr.. Johnson explained later that his
consent TO the withdrawal of the suits
applied only TO the American League
and had nothing to do with the atti
tude of the National League officials.
AT the suggestion of Philip Ball,
president of the st. Louis Federals,"
Johnson SAID, a conference OF the at
torneys of the American and Federal
leagues was held at Chicago ten days
ago for the purpose of discussing the
withdrawal of the suits.
The attorneys of the National
League knew nothing of the meeting.
Some progress had been made in the
direction Of an adjournment when
other matters were injected into the
discussion and the conference broke up
witho accomplishing anything.
IL do not know whether any further
efforts will be made to bring about an
agreement"
On the matter of broken contracts
Mr. Johnson said:
"No man who has jumped a contract
or a reservation with the American
League can ever return TO that or
CARNATIONS; that is final"
