Chicago, March 13. President B. B. Johnson of the American League last night made public the circular letter which he has addressed to all'the club owners in the organization regarding the practice of. ball players contributing stories to newspapers.

In part the letter reads: "The growth of baseball in the last few years the growing interest created, have brought to the sporting departments of the newspapers some of the best talent In the field. It is to the advantage of every Interest that this class of reporters continue in this field of labor. "This end cannot be attained if their work is not remunerative.

The players' action in encroaching upon the work of those writers Is exceedingly harmful afiA a blight upon the reportorial' branch of the sport. "The articles that fippear, with players' names attached, are seldom of their own creation and therefore an imposition on the public.
