Player Johnson
Demands Brooklyn Club Shall
Pay Full Federal League
Salary.

NE WYORK. March 4.-According TO
members OF the Baseball Players Fra

Commission shortly will be called to the
involved status of the contract held by
James II. Johnston, formerly Of the
Oakland Club, OF the Pacific Coast
League. Johnston, who Is an outfielder.
jumped 10 the Federal League club of
Newark last fall
Johnston was signed by George Sto-
vail for the Newark Federals at
salary OF 1900 n year for two years,
with the ten-day release clause elmi-
mated from the contract and $1,000 ad-
vance money paid TO him. The player
later had several conferences with Eb-
bets, who offered him a contract with
the Brooklyn Club at a smaller salary
and containing a ten-day clause. Johns
ton claims that he did not agree to
these terms, but the Brooklyn Cluh
mailed contracts to his home at Chat
tanooEa. Tenn, requesting him to sign
game and return to the executive OFFICES
After tho peace agreement between
the Federal League and organized base
ball Ebbets purchased the Johnston
contract from Harry Sinclair. who
represented the Newark Federals, pay
ing s1,24i to sinclair as return for the
81 900 advanced Johnston and stovalli
expenses in signing the player. Johns
ton now contends that Ebbets, by pur'
chasing his Federal League contract
is obligated by its terms. whereas the
Brooklyn club holds that the alleged
verbal agreement made with Johnston
warrants It in insisting that the player
sign a contract calling for q salary OF
$1,000 year. with the ten-day release
clause included.
Johnston is determined TO hold eithel
the Federal League or the Brooklyn
club TO the letter Of his $4,000 contract
which covers 1915 and 1917. The Players
Fraternity will lay. the entire CORE
spondence and contracts before the Ma
tional Commission within a few days
Members OF the organization state tha
there will be no strike over the matter
but that II Il 10 be carried 10 thI
courts unless Johnston's rights are &C
knowledged by the contracting partle
involved.

DALLAS, Tex. March i.-The Giants

unbroken week of practice with a six
inning exhibition game. in which some
real pitching was shown. at Marlin.
Fourteen players accompanied the ex-
petition. and the others remained to
work. under the direction OF Christy
Mathewson.

n regular contest. McGraw first pieced
together the batting order he viii use
in the two games at Dallas. but loaned
Larry Doyle and Fred Brainerd to the
scrubs. who were led by Charley Doom,
Much to everybody's surprise. the Doo-

speed and frequent curves yesterday,

and extra base hits scarce. The held
Ing was excellent. The losers could not

three innings with n total damage of
only two hits. Dooin's team reached
Kramer for three runB.
Schupp ana Ritter wore opponents in
the later innings, and both were hit
fairly hard. Doyle and Shepner struck
three safe blows each. two OF Doyle S

the bases.

MACON, Ga, March 4.-One Of
the features Of the afternoon
practice yesterday was the AZ
tistic work of Germany Schnc-
fer in front Of a Pathe camera.
There may be a more definite
appeal in Mary Pickford, but
it's q chance she gives less ac-
tion for $150,000 than Schaefer
gave for nothing.
His stunt consisted of registering
surprise, pain, hearty laughter,
elation, dismay coupled with
seven handsprings. five va

coaching act. How much do

must come only when allied soil
is swept clean of the enemy and
Prussian militarism is forev sr
crushed, s. ID. Sazonoff, Russian
minister of foreign affairs, told
the United Press in an exclusive
interview today.
Germany set upon us without
warming" he said Now. hav-
ing signally failed to beat Europe
into submission, and finding it's
intended victims getting the up
per hand, 1t covers its face with a
mask of piety and endelvors to
throw upon the allies the blame
of making war.
such procedure Is en- open
avowal of Germany's weakness
and an attempt to hide its own
unenviable situation - fact
which ! believe the world will
soon realize, if 1t doesn't already.
Peace talk is now doubly flu
tile. Germany assuredly mas not
won the war; hence it is not in 4
position to say anything.
I'VE cannot say yet that we are
the victors, so that peace sugges-
lions are unfriendly to us. Ger
many's power is clearly waning.
The strength of the allies is in
creasing, andth war can end In
but one way.
That will be when the allied
territory is swept clean Of the en-
envy and our every demand add
mitted."

Unofficial reports here today in
dictate that the troops of the 10Th

The Americans withdrew only
after the Mexicans had brought
up heavy reinforcements.
Stragglers from the fight who
arrived in Gen. Pershing's head
quarters declared the Mexicans
made an unprovoked attack while
parley between the American
and Mexican commanders was in
progress.

Gen. Gomez appeared and the
American commander went for
ward to talk to him. Meanwhile
the Mexican troops moved for
ward in such away that there ap-
peared to be danger of the Amer
leans being surrounded. The
American officer protested, and
moment later the Mexicans be-
gan to attack, sweeping the Amer
lean line with a machine gun.
1t was then, they said, that the
American commanders gave or

I''NEDRA"
A PRETTY
PROGRAM

CARRIED as a Grecian shepherd
girl, bare-armed and bare-footed,
Miss Vera Tuthill's dancing in
the name part of 'Nedra" at the
Stadium last night won her an
enthusiastic recall after her prin-
cipal number.
The pageant was a charming
series of pictures, and introduced
several dancers of real ability.
Archilaus, the shepherd boy
lover of Nedra, was cleverly acted
by Miss Gustava Malstrom.
Don Brothers was the senator,
Arisius; Mycelo was portrayed by
Claude Brennan; Vera Judlick
was the Priestress Myra; and lit
tie Taynton Thayer, as Cupid,
had little triumph all Of his
own.
Solo dancers during the even
ing were Lorraine Kelley, Elsa
Krefting, Mena, Marie and Cath
crime Quevli. Zoa Gunston and
Christine Malstrom. A special
round OF applaus greeted Miss
Christine Malstrom's toe dance,
"Valse Lente."
The setting and costuming
were artistic and carried out with
much perfection of detail. The
finishing race by members of
Troop b, X. Leahy, C. Fraser, F.
Boland, J. Centers, w. Braslin
and A. Middlesworth, riding bare
back in Roman costume, was
spectacular, as was also the char
lot race.
The performance will be re-
peated at s o'clock this evening.

PAYINo oUARDsMEN's Wa

The papers are making a great
fuss about a few big corporations
who plan to give their employees who
enlist all or part Of their wages while
at the front.
AS it is for their class the war will
be waged, if there is one, this is no
more than proper.
Before we become hystericaI over
this corporation patriotism let us see
who pays the freight, If the stock
holders receive smaller dividends be-
cause of their surprising generosity
and corporation heads accepted
smaller salaries we should be willing
to give a certain amount Of credit for
the position they have taken.
Surprising, on the other hand, they
reduce the wages Of those left be-
hind, or raise the price Of the goods
