"This article takes a look at the now almost 100 year old case from two perspectives. One is courtroom event specific and describes the roles played in the proceedings by Ward, Johnson, Comiskey, John T. Brush, Clark Griffith and the sportswriter/humorist Ring Lardner, among others. The other attempts to place the litigation between Ward and Johnson in the broader context of turn of the century baseball strife."--Leaf [1].
