NEW YORK, January 27.--Base ball

various major league ports appeared in
position today to carry him back to
his first love on the FenWay of Boston.
He has been released from the Ma
tionals and there are reports that he
Is being sought by the Red Sox and
Giants
The Boston setting would bring Iris
back to the club where he made his
start to fame on the big circuits and.
with Bill Carrigan at the helm. he
would be under the orders Of his old
boss during the pennant days of 1915.
II Carrigan should acquire Speaker
to assist the busting Ken Will
liams in providing inspiration for his
promising band OF youngsters there Is
little doubt that the combination would
supply menace Of substantial proper
tons to the other American League
clubs.
Speaker was purchased from the
Houston club Of the Texas League by
the Red Sox for $500 in 1907. He
played only seven games in that sea-
son and in 1908 he began with Little
Rock of the Southern Association. The
current swept him back to Boston. how
ever, late in that campaign. the Red
SoX paying $500 for his repurchase.
BY 1909 he had become regular out
fielder and forthwith started his climb
to fame as one Of the greatest players
in the majors.
He took part In two championships
with the Red Sox--in 1912 and 1915.
On April IL. 1916. he was traded to
the Cleveland Indians for Thomas and
Jones and cash consideration said to
be $4,000. His departure from Boston
brought considerable protest from the
fans, but in spite of his loss Carr!gan
went out that same year and annexed
another pennant for the Hub.

THE struggle of the American
League to sign promising ball
players from the rival National

tn he struggle Oh tie hHleilCdn
League to sign promising ball
players from the rival National
i League continued throughout
the 1901 season. While carry
ing on this campaign. President Ban
Johnson also had TO. contend With
changes In ownership Of two or three
American League clubs. Again he
showed his resourcefulness. For every
club owner who wished To step down,
johnson produced another TO take his
place.
Jimmy Manning Of the Washington
club sold out to Fred Postal and Tom
Lotus. AT once the National League
tried to use that shift as an argument
showing the weakness Of the upstart
young circuit. To counter, Johnson
came back with the statement that
seven members of the St. Louis Ma
tional League club had jumped to the
American League. This proved TO be
true.
At the same time johnson and his
ally. Charles Comiskcy of Chicago,
made move In the direction Of estab-
fishing an American League club IN st.
Louis. They had lined up a ball park
site in st. Louis and one night they
slipped quietly into that city and leased
the ground for five additional years.
That checked interference in that quar-
ter.
Change Made at Detroit.
Another change in ownership in the
new league was brought about at De-
troit, wnere Stallings and Burns got
out and S. F. Angus and F. H. Doyle
bought the club. Stallings would have
had gold mine later had he hung
on, but he was none too Sanguine about
the future of the American League
The National League got into a Jam
by ushering Nick Young out of office
and electing Albert G. Spalding as
president to succeed him. Spalding's
move was a shrewd one to checkmate
Owner Freedman of the New York
Giants. who had been playing non-
progressive part in National League
politics. The National League was up
set about 1t during all of the Winter
of 1901. although Spalding always knew
how far he would carry on the plot.
While johnson was laughing at the
plight Of the National League, he STEP
ped in again and signed Joe Kelley.
manager Of the Brooklyn Nationals. to
play in Baltimore with John J. Nc
Graw That left Brooklyn without a
leader in the field.
Meanwhile the National League had
been worried about the National Agree
ment because 1t prevented the league
from going out for players where it
willed, while the American League. be-
ing an outlaw" league, could take play
ers from anywhere. In July, 1901, it
was rumored that National League men
had held a secret meeting and decided
to abrogate the National Agreement.
and in September they did so. The
minor leagues protested loudly, for now
they were at the mercy Of everybody.
Minor Leagues Organize.
johnson kept quiet. but his agents
were working on National League play
ers all of the time. particularly those
who were at the top and seemed likely
to be most popular with the public in
the 1902 season. Then the National
Association OF Professional Base Ball
Leagues was organized by the minors
