Under rules of tlie major leagues, for a player to retire from a club he must have the consent of the man ^ttgenient of his own dub and of all ^Pothers of the two leagues. Griffith Vnaid lie felt if he waived his claim r on Johnson none of the other dub managements would stand in the way. Griffith said he had talked the prop osition over with Johnson before the latter left for his home in Kansas nnd Johnson had then indicated he wished to purchase and manage a minor league club. Griffith added that he had heard nothing since from the pitcher. Recalling Johnson’s IS years of service In major league baseball, all of which was spent with Washington, Griffith said he felt it his duty to fol low the wishes of the star pitcher. His only concern, he added, was that Johnson should have a proposition which would assure him success from business standpoint.
