Association for some time, finally made
n compromise with 1t on February 8,
1901. Then the league got busy sign
ing its players to head off the invasion
of American League coin. but 1t cost
some National League men a pretty
penny 10 hold their players.
The American League boaSted some
skilled PLAYERS. with Lajoie, Jimmy Col
Inns. Eibenfeld and others who had
been taken from the National or signed
from the minors. The league was ready
to start the 1901 season with double
the strength 1t had possessed In 1900,
and with new clubs in Boston, Phila-
delphia. Washington and Baltimore. Not
all of these clubs were bowling sue
cesscs but the league was sklllfully
ceeded in keeping its private affairs
we'll concealed and If the National
League had wished to stampede any Of
the club owners it could get no clue
to help it.
The Chicago club won the 1901 cham
pionship in the American League race
and when its success had been demon
strated in a pronounced National
League city, Charles Comiskey re-
marked to a personal friend: This
league of ours may be fought by the
National League until doomsday but
we've got a hold on the public that
can't be lost"

After the American League had de-
clared itself on an equal footing with
the National League and established
four clubs in the East before the start
of the 1901 season. the players entered
conspicuouSly into the maneuvers III
the base ball war.
Ban johnson and his advisers and
hackers in the new league had more
courage than any promoters who nae
undertaken to fool with he base ball
situation since 1890. when the Players
League flashed like comet and as
suddenly disappeared. Johnson and
his associates determined to pick de-
sirable players out Of the rival Ma
tional League clubs.
The plan was to take players here
and there from National League clubs
with contracts SO alluring that the bait
could not be resisted. The American
League plotters met In Chicago and
named the National League players To
whom they were willing to pay bonuses
for Jumping from one league to an
other. They kept the proceeding SO
secret that it didn't leak out until
more than year after the meeting
had been held.
Blocked by Players Body.
Just as the new league was ready
to make its drive to sign up the de-
sired players. its plans were blocked
by the Players Protective Association
which issued an order to all its men,
bers that no player could sign con-
tract with any American League cluo
except those who had played in tha'
league during its first season the pre-
viouS year, 1900. The players aSSo-
citation made this move because II
wanted to get in the good graces OF
the National League and obtain GER
tain concessions from it for the players
1t really was another phase OF the old
fight of the players against the Ma
tional League, but the ruling happened
to come at time when the National
League stood to benefit at the expense
of the American League.
It was said that the directors OF the
players organization, evidently expect
ing an eventual falling out with the
National League. covertly informed the
American League men that they might
go ahead and grab players from the
National. Whether this was true or
not, the American League did go ahead
with negotiations to sign up National
League players. The invaders didn't
get all the players they wanted. but
enough of them went to the American
League to make the National Leaguers
denounce Ban johnson and his back
ers bitterly and strenuously. None was
more furious than Col. John I. Rogers
who owned some stock in the Philadel-
phia Nationals, and from which the
great Napoleon Lajoie was enticed into
the American League.
Dnrarc ,s,ay,f IN fight his rncn
and although he got decision in time
which prevented Lajoie from playing in
the State of Pennsylvania, he never
got Lajoie back. The detection of La
joie was the worst player blow that was
struck at the National League in 1901
because he became one of the great
stars of base ball and for a time was
the bright star of the American League.
He was assured by the American League
promoters that no matter what the
courts might do. they would take care
