Johnson of the American League, all are on record, as ex-pressing the conviction and belief that the player belonged to Pittsburg.

President Johnson admitted our moral and baseball rights when he suggested that we re lease Sisler back to Columbus antj have the deal done all over agaiii. How could Pittsburg release Sisler, if, as js now claimed, it did not hold title to him? President Tener fought hard at one lime to have Pittsburg's moral and baseball lights lo this player respected. "What caused the chance?
