Inning when Odeas two bagger scored two men Atlanta won the game this afternoon from the Toronto BY JOE 8 JACKSON Special to The Washington FoiU Atlanta Ga April 6 James McAleer manager of the Nationals is responsible for the biggest sehsatlon that baseball has known this spring As a result of Walter Johnsons continued refusal to sign his 19U contract on the terms named as the clubs final offer 6600 for theisea son JMcAleer ordered thftbi pitcher to leave camp for home sent Secretary Lehman out to purchase a ticket tcS Coffeyvllle Kans where Johnson resides and wired notice to President Nbyes of the action he had taken It is supposed that he had previously been advised to this step by the club officials Notice that he was to be sent home was given Johnson by MoAleer early In the evening and was received by the pitcher without any special comment and with no show of excitement over the situation In fact those in the lobby who were standing close by when Mr Leh man was ordered to purchase the trans portatlon and saw McAleer Johnson and the secretary talking together were among the most surprised when they learned what thepurpose of the gathering of the three had been Action Had Two Objects It is assumed that the course of the club had two objects First of these was to show the pitcher that it had gone the entire distance when It offered him 6500 for his seasons work 1600 more than its original offer The second was to further this purpose by demonstrating that he was not to be taken to Washington for further conference with President Noyes and also to avoid the situation that might confront the club were Johnson to reach the home city of the Nationals and to be present but not in uniform with his team mates when the season opened Were the team to get away badly there would be an outcry that necessarily would bo directed more against the club owners I than the pltoher By Its present course the club forces tije Issue and probably figures that It places itself in va jnore favorable position should the situation referred to in the foregoing paragraph arise Johnson orig 1 many was tendered a contract calling for 6000 salary Tfcis he refused to sign saying that he expected at least J1000 more He was notified to go to Hot Springs and from that place to come to Atlanta where It was expected that the differences would be adjusted Here Manager McAleer found that he could not bring Johnson into the fold the demands of the pitcher being greater than he had authority to meet He sent for President Noyes and the latter had a conference with Johnson that brought no results Mr Noyes waited about for several days but Johnson did not approach him and he went home leaving the matter in his managers hands Looks for 9000 Per Year Johnson when he talked with President Noyes asked 7500 for this season and is said to have coupled with this an Intimation if not a direct statement that he should look for a three year contract at 9000 per year at the end of this season assuming of course that he had a successful year This is the same term and price contract that Ty Cobb is now working on and the general assumption is thap Johnson figures that he is entitled td the same compensation as the Detroit star on the ground that he is Just as great a drawing card He doesj not discuss his claims with newspaper men but he has said that he has been made frequent promises which he claims have not been fulfilled and that he must kget the money now If ever Manager and pitcher have had several brief conferences in the past two weeks but it had been supposed that these failing Johnson would be taken to Wash ington to talk with the club officials McAleer got no satisfaction out of his advances and decided on todays course Johnson has never entered into argument over his claims merely stating that he had set his price and that It was up to the club to meet It His course in ac ceptlng McAleers decision and in pre paring to roiiow tne lead was consistent with his previous position The club now puts it up to him to report when he is ready to sign at the figure given If he does not report at the start of the season he will of course be suspended He had been booked to pitch the opening game McAleer saia tonight that John son not coming Into the ranks he will pitch the veteran who looks best with Gray on his spring showing the prOb able Choice Two Views of Outcome There are two views on the probable outcome McAleer thinks Johnson may weaken and bases It on an incident following his issuance of the order to Johnson When Secretary Lehman went out to buy the ticket Johnson accom panied him It was then 6 oclock The one good train that Johnson can use leaves Atlanta at 410 nv That meant that the pitcher must wait oven until Friday afternoon Lehman was going to purchase trie transportation anyway to have it ready but Johnson Insisted that he Wait until tomorrow Lehman said that the ticket could as well be purchased today as on Friday and that more over his explicit orders were not to return without the transportation But Johnson prevailed on him to delay On his return Johnson went to dinner and then to the billiard room to play poot mere ne insisted mat ne was going away Friday afternoon When McAleer said either sign or so home it left nothing else lor me to do out to return 10 uoneyvme he said fn going sure but thats about all that I care to say And wherwill you be In Washing ton he waSxsked When the club sendsfor me a Figure It all outr andlt mlght tnean gither that Johnson looks for a compro mise at J7000 or that he thlnksr by go tag home he will force the club to his terms eventually McAleeVsUUimituinj Though neltherf bad taked about this It is noWjknown lhatMcAleer hadtold WALTER JOHNSON WSIlMlt

Care to Win Ball Games Otey Shows Improvement on the Slab either sign up by tonight or prepare to go home This ultimatum surprised the pitcher and he was not certain that McAleer meant what he said until the man ager spoke to him tonight about his ticket Walter had thought like every one else In camp that he would be taken to Washington and would have a conference there with the club owners McAleer has been In touch with these latter but said tonight that they put him in complete charge and iad after President Noyes departure from here left Mm in complete charge with discretionary power He felt that the only way to deal with the situation was to take action now ana to iorce maiiers iu an Issue keeping directors and Mr NOyes out of it What provokes McAleer most Is the fact that he believes that some outsiders have induced Johnson toMake his present stand and have convinced the pitcher that he is being ill used He argues that It cannot be otherwise because Johnson is such a sensible fellow and has been such a willing worker even while the argument has beenon Hes One of the finest fellows in the world in every way said McAleer You couldnt have an argument with him on any question excepting this salary matter Corbin Sold to Atlanta While the Johnson incident was taking up most of the attention and talk of the ball players two other exiled members of the squad were off at one side fare welling each other These were Chief Swalnthe California outfielder who to morroWfOr Saturday also will start West for Vancouver British Columbia and Fred CorbhVwho was notified today

wtwkf1ava Kaan haVa tani7a 9 mcrlllap that he rather prefers playing class ball on the Pacific coast two nights and a day from Bunny California to possibly starring in the big leagues Notice that the offer of Swain to the club he came from had been accepted and that his transportation had been wired was received today With the official announcement confirmingconfirming earlier forecasts of the transfer that Corbin has been Bold to Atlanta comes an unofficial statement that the Nationals will return here In 1912 to do their training Bo far as known the two things are not connected In any way the Corbin transfer being in a way part payment for this years use of the field Messrs McAleer and Jordan the Atlanta manager talked over the 1913 training camp enoore while they were fixing Up the Corbin dealv and McAleer agreed to come back Conway Dangerous Batter Corbin was drafted from Akron in the Ohio and Pennsylvania League He hit 31S and stole 28 bases Washington does not lose him as he is sold to Atlanta on an optional agreement which means that he is loaned here subject to recall In August He will play left field for Atlanta There is nothing on the Crackers line Up that looks as If Washington can have any specialise for it and McAleer made no effort to dispose of Corbin on the agreement frequently made glvingthe pick of the club in the fall Atlanta may have a catcher ready but at present the Nationals are not looking for backstops Rlationa between the two teams are likely tcf be pretty close for some time to corner with the Corbuvdeal through and the Nationals booked to

to ne jpfiirt dgwouldhavObeea the casftvliad BY JOE JACKSON Spwial to Ttl WaiMngton Pott Atlanta Qa April 6 Theoretically the flrst and second teams were opposed today in the fourteenth came of the scrub series As a matter of cold fact however the affair rually should be billed as the regulars vs Dolly Gray The southpaw did his best to beat the old boys single handed but his support handed two runs to the enemy and threw away chances for at least two more for themselves through some work on the base lines that was bad enough to make strong men weep So instead of a victory for the youngsters It wound up 2 to 2 and the regulars still have a lead of one game Gray had to take the best that he could get in the way of a supporting cast and let It go at that Conrpy was out haying injured his feet in one of the track and field numbers of yesterdays rainy day workout so Schaefer shifted to second bringing Keefe an outfielder Into the game as a shortstop It was the first one In which he had started this year and his lack of work told on him though he had four pretty stops and throws to his credit Corbin is still under the weather and Swain took his place In the outfield Some Bad Baseball Any of Mr McAleers pupils who watched the game closely were afforded a fine object lesson In the things not to do if you wish to make your hitting count and care to win ball games The teams got seven hits and three passes benefited by one error scored two runs and sad only thee men left Analyzed this means that six men were picked off on the bases either through being caught stealing or napping or being the extra out In a double play Thats the way It went In one Inning Conway led off with a double and went to third on a scratch single by Swain Street and Elberfeld nailed Conway off third by deluding him into the eblief that the catcher was playing tor Swain after which Street threw out Swain stealing In the fifth after Somerlott Walked and was put on third by Buntings base hit the last named taking second on a short wild pitch McBride tagged out Bunting in the line when Ainsmith grounded to him and then got Ainsmith between first and second the runner wandering away around Into that territory on some un known pretext The regulars played much better ball but could not get the chances that the volunteers hitting gave the latter Gray allowed one more safety than did Otey but he kept them well scattered In the eighth it looked as if the game was gone hits by Elberfeld and Lellyelt putting men at third and first with one downt but the next two batsmen hit to Bunting who threw out Elberfeld at the plate oh Cunninghams grounder and flagged Gessler at first baser retiring the side Conways Heavy Hitting It was not a very featureful contest outside of the pitching and the individual batting efforts of a few gents One of these was Charlie Conway who through the election of Fred Corbm to the Atlanta Club elsewhere announced became first choice among the recruits for possible retention Conway got a clean double and triple besides hitting one Dan hard at Cunningham an error and a run resulting Lelivelt continued his improvement getting one safe and nearly putting Gray out or the game with another that he hit back at the pitcher Gessler also took hold of the ball well the smash on which Somerlott made his misplay having the wood behind It Both of Streets hits were clean and both of Milans were Infield grounders that he beat out Otey showed continuance of improve ment in the matter of control passing only three men He might have been Wt less frequently however had heJ not had some ot his old difficulty in getting the first one over putttnff him In wrong repeatedly His support and the volunteer base running helped him out but his work aa a whole was not vastly inferior to that of Gray and the latter has at no time since he Joined the Nationals been better than right now An interesting little hit of pitching dope is the statement that with this contest Gray and Otey have pitched 38 Innings against each other including three full ninei inning games Otey outside of his duels with Gray has pitched but three Innings If he ever had a batting eye Dolly hask put blinders over it In fourteen times the Virginia Leaguer southpaw has been up to hit Gray he has fanned on nine occasions How Scores Were Made 1250 to for Stylish Spring Suits for Men
