Settlement of the threatened baseball strike situa tion rests with the club owners and presidents of the two major leagues. President Johnson, of the American League, announced today on his return from New York. The National Base ball Commission, he'said, will take no part in the controversy. "This strike propaganda is clear to the baseball world," Mr. Johnson said. "It simply i3 a move on the part of a few players and President Fultz, of the Baseball Players' Fraternity, to maintain high salaries big: salaries that we paid during the Federal League fight." President Johnson said the -majority of American League players will report evert if a strike is called. Nearly 100 already have signed, he said.

Wrcnn Favors Strict Regula tion of Tennis Amateurs. NEW YORK. Jan. 18. Robert D. Wrenn, four times National lawn ten nis champion and formerly president of : the National Lawn Tennis Association, gave out a statement today indorsing the proposed amendments to the ama teur rule to be voted upon at the an nual meeting of the association Febru ary 9. Mr. Wrenn said in part: "For a number of years there has been a growing tendency for prominent tennis players to enter the sporting goods business. "Employment of prominent tennis players by sporting goods houses is fundamentally wrong, because in most cases they are paid for one thing while in reality their value to the employer comes because they do something en tirely different. In other words, they are hired as salesmen, but their value arises primarily from the advertise ment which the sporting goods house iets out of the player's name. This is commercializing athletic fame, pure and simple. PITCHER KEUTHER HOLDOUT Contract Willi Chicago Cubs Is De clared Unsatisfactory. SAX FRANCISCO, Jan. 18. (Special.)

CHICAGO. Jan. 18. (Special.) Pres ident Weeghman. of the Cubs, has re belled against being made the "goat -in the threatened baseball war. He has announced the policy which he intends to follow in dealing with recalcitrant ballplayers. The first one to feel the effects of the new deal was Jimmy Archer, who : had previously returned an unsigned contract calling for 14000. President Weeghman today sent a new contract to the catcher, the document calling for considerable less money than the orig inal. "I have sent Archer a second con tract," said President Weeghman, "and it calls for less money than the first. - He can take it or leave it as he sees fit. or find employment elsewhere. I Jirst sent him a contract, which called for J4000, not because of his ability as a ballplayer, but for sentimental rea sons. This might be considered fair 'when it is remembered that he batted ,.220 and played in 61 games last sea - ton. He has sloved up to such an ex tent that he was thrown out at first in a game last year on a. clean single ;to right field." President Weeghman said the special train for Pasadena would leave Febru ary 20, even if there was not a single ballplayer on hand. "I am in, entire sympathy with or ganized labor," he said, "but I don't think it has anything to do with this case. All my restaurant employes are " union men. but when they come to or ganizing union baseball players, it simply cannot be done. They might just as well start to unionize bank presidents and cashiers. This class can well be compared with ballplayers. "I feel deeply offended in this con troversy because they made me the goat and I am ready to take the same action as I did in the Archer case with any ballplayer who wishes it. That goes as long as I am president of the club. WASHINGTON TO PLAY LINCOLN Two Interscholastic Teams Will Meet in Hockey Match.

The Frankie Callahan knocked out the other night at Westfield, Mass.. is not the Brooklyn boy who stopped Ralph Gruman at Salt Lake last January and who fought many of the topnotchers, but another boy with the same name, hailing from the same town. This in formation was received yesterday in a letter from Dan McKetrick. the original 1-rankle Callahan's manager. Dan also mentions that the Joe Rivers who knocKed out the namesake of the real Callahan is not Mexican Joe Silvers, whom the real Callahan knocked out couple of years ago. but a New York boy.

HONOLULU OFFERS CASH FOR BEAVERS M'Credies Reported to Have Received Indircement in Excess of $4000. RETURN JOURNEY BOTHERS If Portland Management Can Be As- sured of Getting Back In March In Time for Season's Start, Team Is Sure to Go. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Although the matter of steamship accommodations yet remains unsolved it Is a safe hazard that the Portland ball club will train at Honolulu. Just when Stockton appeared to have the inside edge along came a, letter from E. O. Hall St Sons, a Honolulu sporting goods store, with a guarantee so al luring that It made the McCredies for get Stockton, fcan Jose, Portervllle and all the other aspiring Spring camp ing rendezvouses. It is rumored that this Honolulu of fer is in excess of $4000. Neither Judge McCredie nor his nephew. Walter, would discuss the matter of finances yesterday. There is a peculiar angle to this Honolulu affair that has not been told. The idea of the Beavers training in the Hawallans originated. It appears, in the fertile imagination of a real, honest-to-goodness Itufus Wallingford. Aforesajd Rufus real name Wood bustlecr Into town supposedly as the representative of E. O. Hall Ac Sons, of Honolulu, and used his supposed affili ations as an instrument to secure cash and credit from various wholesale con cerns. Wood now reclines In the city Jail awaiting trial for his operations. While Wood's original offer proved a "bunk." his idea germinated. Some body called it to the attention of the senior Hall, over In the Islands. He took the idea to bed with him. slepoj on it overnight, took a toehold on it at breakfast, and, when he showed up at his office that morning the upshot was a letter to W. W. McCredie with a real offer of real cash for the Bea vers to make the voyage. "We hope to be able to land accom modations for the return trip in March," said W. W. McCredie last night. "If so we will go, but we don't want to make the trip over without first making reservations for the trip home. It would be a pretty stunt for us to go over there and '.hen find our selves unable to return in time for the league opening April 3." . . In a recent issue the Chicago Post devotes a double-column head to a story of how Fred Mitchell, the new Cub manager, once startled Coast League fans as a man of mystery. Tut! Tut! The Post has the wrong Mr. Mitchell. The "Mysterious" Mitchell who had such a meteoric career on the Coast several years ago was a for mer University of Chicago athlete named Fred Walker. The Post ought to know the history of its home boys better than to confuse him with the new Cub boss. Ham Patterson was run out of the Coast League because he had two' con tracts one on file with President Baum and the other a secret contract with Eddie Maier. the former Vernon owner. When Maier sold the club to Darmody. Fisk and Jackson the new owners refused to carry out the terms of the secret contract and so Maier had to go out and buy the Dallas club of the Texas League in order to keep Patterson at work. It Is under stood the Vernon owner had similar secret documents with other players and any of these who appear too high priced for the new Tiger management doubtless will be exiled to Texas.

Portland Heavyweight, Mho Claimed Northwest Title, Is Knocked Out in Third Frimf. SEATTLK. Wash.. Jan. 18. (Special.) It was a glorious night-for Chet Mc Intyre and company tonight. In the seml-wlndup of the Seattle Athletic Club boxing smoker, Lloyd Madden, Junior member of the firm, stepped out and convinced the referee that he de feated Joe Bayley. the Canadian crack, in a close battle. Then Mclntyre, still perspiring from his efforts at coaching bis pupil, brushed back the hair out of his eyes, danced into the ring and squelched the pugilistic aspirations of Lowe Slmms. the rangy lad from Fort land, who hal claimed the Northwest heavyweight title.

Contracts to 27 ballplayers, all of them under reserve to the San Fran cisco baseball club, were deposited in the mails today by Harry Wolverton. . Of the 27 players there are virtually 14 who can be considered veterans of the 1916 squad, with two who had a brief experience in the Fall, four new comers who are seasoned ballplayers, and the remaining seven novices of whom little or nothing can be expected.
