Baseball has lump on
Outlaws
NEW YORK. March T.—0rganized
baseball scored heavily here yesterday
it the struggle with the Federal 'Iieag-
ue tor the services of the players
who completed their round-the-world
tour early yesterday. The Boston Am-
ericans signed Tris Speaker for two
years; the Detroit Americans closed
a. contract with Sam Crawford. the
.St. Louis Americans kept Pitcher
leverenz in line with a considerable
raise in salary. ‘
Although the Federal League mag-
rtaies were in conference with all
(less players, they were unable to se-
cure their services, and the best they
could do with Mike IDooian. of the
Philadelphia Nationals and ‘Dick
’lvtgau, of Brooklyn. was to obtain a
promise to consider the propositions
made by the new organization.
“Steve" Elana and Lee Magee of the-
El Louis Nationals. were also reported
to be comparing the offers of the two
forces.
it was a day of propositions, coun-
ter propositions and contract flashing.
but at midnight organized baseball
was still holding the lead which it,
gained when several of the National
and American league magnates
boarded the steamer Lusitania far
down the bay. while the Federal Leag-
ners were forced to wait for sev-
eral hours at the pier before they
could communicate with the return-
ing players. Their consolation, it‘ it
’might be so termed, was the knew-
iedge that they had forced the mag-
rates of the two major leagues to pay
exteremely high salaries to those play~
«rs who signed.
The climax of the day came when
i'resident Joseph J. Lannin. oi the
rtloston American League clubs au-
tuounced that he had scout-edible sigt
rature 'ol’ Outflelder Tris. 'Speaker to
‘ l: tonyear contract at a salary "larger
than any
‘ er", in the ranks. in addition, he
tested. he had givenSpeaker a neat
bonus for signing. While he would
not say what the' amount‘oi‘tlle sai-
ury was. it was reported in baseball
circles last night that it was to be
$18,000 per year.
President Frank J. Nevin. oi the
Detroit Americans, did not havotobid
so high for Sam Crawford’s services.
nor the St. Louis Browns for Pitcher
Level-em, but in each case there was
a considerable increase in the figures
of the 1914 contrudts over those oi
last season.
All these players had listened to the
I Federal League offers before closing
,with their former clubs. Dooian and
.ngau also had National League con~
tracts in theirpockets. and, while they
burl not signed Presidents Baker and
'Ebbsts. ot the Philadelphia. and Block-
lyn clubs, respectively. st'atedlemphcb
