JONES TAKES RAP
At METHODS OF
ORGANIZED BALL

CHICAGO. April 12.-"If baseball
was not such a good game it would
have died several years ago, because
of the business methods of the mag
mates OF organized baseball"
That was the exact statement Of
Fielder Jones. manager of the ST
Louis Federals and the former leader
of the White Sox, when he was inter-
viewed here regarding the general
conditions OF the great American
game at the present time
IF men in other lines of business
conducted their affairs as the baseball
magnates run things for the last 10
or II years, business would soon have
been on the bum," continued Jones
There are a few good business men
in the game, and as a general rule,
they are not liked by their assistants.
r. L. Hedges, president of the St.
Louis Browns, is one Of that kind.
Some Methods Unbelievable.
Some of the methods used by the
club owners of the National and Amer
lean leagues are almost unbelievable.
Such methods would kill any other
sport that L know Of, but baseball in
! itself is such g. good, strong game that
it lives 1t is the game of the Amer
lean people, and in my estimation the
greatest game of them all, so IL has
gone along many years despite the
management and underhand methods
of it's promoters.
"One instance l want to mention.
81 absolutely know that Walter
Johnson wanted to give Washington
the first chance to sign him. He told
Clark Griffith that he would do moth
ing without giving Washington first
chance. He followed that promise
faithfully.
johnson wrote TO Griffith and he
wired Griffith, and waited and waited,
and never got an answer. Finally, as
you all know, he grew tired OF walt
ing and signed with Chicago when
Tinker went down to see him. That
action brought Griffith to his feet in
a. jiffy. He did not even write. He
took the train west and went out per
sonally and met Johnson and induced
him to jump back.
Doesn't Blame Public.
1T was a bad piece of business on
the part of Clark Griffith or his ad-
visers, and one can't blame the house
if it loses faith in the game when such
methods are practiced."
What do you think will be the out
come of the war between the Federals
and organized baSeball?" was asked OF
Jones.
They'll have to get together some
time" was the ready reply. mo one
will make any money to speak or this
year. 1 think the Federal league will
not lose any great amount. l think
the men Of the National and American
leagues are on the run. l know that
some Of them are in desperate finan-
cial straits already and 1 believe few
of them will have to get out before
the year is over
"They are supposed to stand back Of
the minor leagues and lend their sup
port The minors won't get a bit OF
support from them"
