sent
Applying to all Suits
MI. johnson explained that in an
earlier statement to the effect that he
was willing TO have the suit in the IL
linois Federal court now awaiting de-
cision by Judge Keneshaw M. Lands,
Withdrawn, he did not refer to this
case in particular. 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 il is ont now too late
to reach an agreement outside the
courtrooms, believe"
President Johnson read dispatches
from various sections of the country
in which other baseball officials said
they knew nothing Of the proposal to
withdraw the suits. He smiled as he
read some Of them. but ne declined to
make any statement.
Peace Not In Sight
In addition to the suit pending be-
fore Judge Lands. in which il has
been said that organized baseball as

President Johnson said the other suits
TO which organized baseball and the
Federal League. either directly or in
directly, were parties, affected indi-
V1dual players who had jumped con-
tracts. He expressed the opinion that
the national pastime as professionally
cd would be bettered by the trials
which il is undergoing" He asserted
That peace, or an agreement between
organized baseball and the Federal
Lea que was not Immediately in sight
and mad not recently been discussed
but he added he had no fears for the
future
I believe tnat baseball should new

said.

tract or reservation with the Ameri-
can League can ever return into that
organization, that is final" Mr.. John

Of ball players who are trying to get
back into organized baseball. They are
using the influence of their friends but
we will not stand for IT."
