DOES {T MEAN WAR? Eleven Olubs Oppose New York in the Busie Case, PRESIDENT FREEDMAN WILL HOT YIELD Mr. Byrne Hints at Throwing Jonahs Overboard. UNSATISFACTORY MEETING Like the Stovey-Bierbauer case, like the Mike Kelly case, the Rusie case may Prove to be of far reaching importance. The base ball magnates want it settled. There are two reasons. They do not want the validity of the reserve rule and base ball contracts tested in court, as they would be if the Rusie suit at Trenton comes to trial; then they realize that if Ruste. played in New York the Giants would be greatly strengthened, its chances for a good position would be improved, the attendance would be increased and all the league clubs would consequently benefit. Therefore the magnates have been conferring in New York over a way of returning Rusie to base ball. Prospects of Compromise. Today’s New York Herald says: The Rusie case is not yet compromised, but it may be that the big pitcher will rejoin the New York club in a week or ten days. The National League delegates who met on Monday at the Sth Avenue Hotel were reinforced yesterday by Reach and Rogers of Philadelphia. They then went into ex- ecutive session, and remained behind lock- ed doors until rearly 8 o'clock. It was announced that Hart and Robi- son during a recent visit to Indianapolis had met Rusie and his representatives, and a compromise was then and there proposed. Rusie seemed not only willing, but eager to return to the Giants, and even declared that he would like to pitch for the present team, but he demanded some recompense for the loss of last sea- sun's salary. On account of that Indianap- olis conference the special meeting of all the clubs was called for New York this week. - No Compromise for Freedman. The first suggestion made was that the twelve clubs contribute pro rata amounts euough to pay Rusie the sum of his 1806 salary. But Mr. Freedman absolutely re- fused to give wu cent to such a fund. He said; “Of course, I cannot control the acts of the other eleven clubs, and they can do for Rusie what they think best, but the New York club has only one proposition to lay before the meeting; Rusie must sign a $2,400 contract for 1897. If he will do that and will give the club his very best services, the club will restore him to his 1895 (83,000) salary in 1898.” The New York’s president then proceeded to make such a strong statement of his case that the Baltimore, Philadelphia, Brook- lyn and Louisville clubs commended him for his courage in the fight. An Implied Threat. One delegate suggested that unless the New York club should meet the other dele- gates in a general plan of bringing Rusie back into the fold it would be policy for the eleven clubs to reconsider their Baiti- more resolution to help Mr. Freedman in defense of the injunction case now in court. Mr. Freedman unhesitatingly replied that it was their privilege to retreat if they so desired, but that the New York club wovld then fight ft out alone, if it took three years to reach a final decision. ‘After a long interchange of opinions the New York president withdrew. A proposal was then made to leave the case in the bands of N. &. Young, with full power to act, provided he agreed to nothing which would controvert the New York club's pol- icy. Objections were made to that plan, ard, a3 therc seemed to be no possibility of reaching an egreement during the evening, the meeting adjourned until today at 11 o'clock, when a final attempt to settle the interesting question will be made. A Very Serions Fight. The Journal says: A very serious base ball fight has been precipitated, and the New York club finds itself sharply arrayed against. its eleven co-partners in the National League. At yesterday's meeting eleven clubs signified their desire for a compromise of the Rusie difficulty, thus avoiding a suit at law. President Freedman of the New York club emphatically refused to be a party to any compromise and insisted on fighting the Rusie case to the bitter end. Having failed to induce New York's ofti- cial to take their view of the matter, the other eleven clubs have decided to act in the premises without New York's consent, ard will take steps to bring Rusie into the field before April 22, and thus prevent the legal controversy now pending in the United States court at Trenton. Should the New York club continue its policy of opposition to the wishes of the eleven organizations the consequences will be serious, as several magnates stated that they would not permit one of twelve clubs to dictate to all the others. After President Freedman’s withdrawal, the other delegates conferred for a short time and then adjourned till this morning at 11 o'clock, when they will resume.consid- eration o~ the important question. At the close of the meeting C. H. Byrne talked as follows: “The situation is just this: Eleven clubs of the league have reached the conclusion that a compromise of the Rusie case is the best for all concerned. We have tried to impress upon the president of the New Ycrk club that the suggestion we make is rot only for his good, but also for the good of his eleven partners in the National League. We claim that in a partnership of this sort eleven members of the firm have a perfect right to ask the twelfth member to take action that is for the benefit of all concerned. Mr. Freedman will not accept that view of the case, and insists on going his way regardless of the wishes of his eleven associates. “Now the question comes to a point where we must decide whether one member of a company of twelve is to override the wish- es of the majority.” < Hastening a Base Ball War. The World says: It is much to be feared that President Freedman’s stand in the matter will lead to most unpleasant re- sults. President Byrne of the Brooklyn club was in an angry and disgusted frame of mind after the adjournment, and said, significantly: “We will meet tomorrow and see it eleven men are to be controlled by one. We have been twenty-five years building up the na- tional game to its present high standard, and will not tolerate a latter-day Samson to come in to pull down the pillars of the structure and destroy us in the ruins.” “What does that mean, Mr. Byrne?” was asked. “What does that mean?” repeated the magnate. “Why, if twelve men were cross- ing a dangerous river in a boat and one foo} set to rock the boat, imperiling the lives of the others, what would be done in that case?” “What?” came in an interested chorus. “Why,” said Mr. Byrne, as he turned to walk away, “the other eleven would be compelled to pitch the twelfth man over- board to save their own lives.” ‘The remark shows that there is a crisis in National League affairs, and the out- ccme of today’s session will be awatted with anxious interest. It is not probable that New York will be thrown overboard frem the good ship National League, but some step may be teken that will widen the gulf that exists between Mr. Freedman and other club owners and hasten what seems to betoken an inevitable base ball war. It is said that at today’s meeting the oth- er clubs may decide to influence Rusie to send on the contract calling for $2,400. If the New York ¢lub does not employ the pitcher because of the interference by the other clubs, the matter wil be at once brought before the national board of arbi- tratfon,.and that body will take Ruste off the New York reserve list, leaving him free at Srierinit stab he Pleases. tr ruption of the National League would then begin.

From the beginning the.game waé full‘of snap’ and energy, and the way the Toronto Loys skipped over the field, both while running bases and fielding their/positions, denoted a desire to please thelr manager and fur- nish the spectators with an exhibition of the national game as played by first-class clubs. DeMontreville outdid himself in sensa- tional plays, the stops and long throws being hardly short of marvelous. O'Brien at second had six chances and he smother- ed every one of them with a precision and confidence that made the spectators think of the possibilities of the coming season. Lush and Farrell shifted from left to right in batting and hit the ball with telling ef- fect, the little blonde in right field getting in two doubles. Reilly, too, of whom good stick work is an unexpected pleasure, soaked the ball good and hard at every chance and registered two singles to his credit. Manager Irwin sent a left-handed twirler named Gaston to the rubber to do the honors for his club and the way he did it was an eye-opener for even his manager, not to speak of the local club and’ specta- tors. It will be interesting to learn what Earl Wagner thinks of this pitcher, as the Senators have no soufhpaw twirler, and they may need just such @ youngster to help out before the season is over. Gaston pitched the entire game and held the local club down to ten hits, with a ictal of twelve. Norton started the pitching for the Sen- ators, and did well, retiring in favor of German in the third inning. Lester at once became aware that the Canadian boys could not be trifled with if,a victory was to be scored by the Senators, and he let himself out, with the result that but three singles were made off of his delivery, one of them of the scratch order. German is still a little over weight, but the extra al- lowance must be a good thing for him, as his work this spring has been of che very best. Tom Brown was out of the game as. a result cf his accident the day before, and Charley Abbey, the popular utility. fielder, took his place, and, of course, did well, getting in a single, a stoleg base and taking everything that ¢ame his way in center field. The Torontos tallied two runs in the third inning and then quit, although “they bad Dlenty of men on bases to make it de- cidedly interesting for thelr opponents.

Groundkeeper Miller brought a good piece of news to National Park this. morning when ke announced that he-had ridden up trom the depot on a streét cif“with Charley (‘Siiver”) King. The well-knowp and popu- lar twirler had been expected for some lime, but Charley is not miugh qn writing letters, and as he-lived several 1 from St. Louts during the winter telegrams sent him fail 2 past lead to Teach i | destination, and for this reason ttle was known of his whereabouts or condition. King left the car at 7th and L streets, and after hunting up a lodging house a rived at the grounds at 11 o'clock. His r ception in the dressing room from the play- ers, who just left their morning practice, Was most hearty and enthusiastic. Man- ager Schmelz and Earl Wagner aiso chipped in with a word of good cheer, and the big light-haired St. Louis boy was made to feel at home. “Silver”? has been in the business too long to worry about early spring prac- tice, but has horse sense enough to know when to report, and, as his contract goes into effect tomorrow, he has shown up in time to meet all requirements. In conversation with a Star reporter King said he is and has been all winter in perfect health, aud his robvst frame sub- stantiated his words. As to his condition, he says he is willing to stand comparison with the rest of the Senators, as he has been practicing hard for the last month. Last spring Von Der Ahe of the St. Louis club was nettled at King over some old- time controversy, and would not allow him to practice on his grounds, but this year nothing was said, and Charley went out with the St. Louls boys every day. This afternoon Charley will don a senatorial uniform and practice with the rest of the club. The third game of the series between the Washington and Toronto clubs will be Piayed this afternoon, the game being call- ed at 4:15. Manager Irwin will place Wili- jams in the box at the beginning of the game, and Manager Schmelz will let Mc- James, Mercer and Kimball do the twirl- ing for the home club. McGuire and Far- rell will do the receiving work for the Senators, and Hutchinson and Casey will fill like positions for the visitors. The Canadians are a little sore yet, as they have had very little practice, but are fast rounding into shape, and give every evi- dence of being a first-class club. Manager Irwin had the entire outfit out at the grounds this morning, and they took pos- session of the diamond immediately after the loeal boys got through their work. Pitcher Al Maul. Al. Maul “played first for a while this morning, a position he filled some years ago at Philadelphia, while the remainder of the team” were practicing bent hits, and pranced around like a two-year-old.

Earl Wagner saw his work and signed him in the spring of '¥3 for the Washington team, and he has been a Sena- tor ever since. For the past two years Maul’s arm has-played him false, but the good-looking Quaker believes he is again in shape, and promises to help the club land in a more advanced position than last year. One thing Maul can rest assured of, and that is that he will have the Wash- ington spectators with him to a man, and should his work prove gilt edge there is no telling what big office they will elect him to. It might be added that outside of Maul's pitching ability there is not a bet- | ter fielder of the position in the busiriess than he, and as a sticker he ranks up with the very best. COLLEGE BASE BALL. Georgetown to Play the Lehigh Uni- versity Team Today. The game between Georgetown and Le- high at Georgetown Field this afternoon will begin at 4:15 o'clock. The following is the batting order of the teams: The University. of Pennsylvania played the second game of its southern trip with the University of North Carolina yester- day, and won by 11 to 3. Penn bunched hits at the same time the North Caro- lintans bunched errors, and the result was an easy victory. Penn put up a fine game in the field, and, although the red and blue made but one more hit than the home team, the batting was timely and brought in runs. Mangum pitched 2 good game and was well supported throughout, the team work of Penn being one of the notice- able features of the game. The same teams play again tomorrow at Greensboro’.

Reedy, the middleweight champion of the District, demonstrated his pugilistic prowess to a large crowd of admiring sports last night by knocking out Patsey Haley, the so-called middleweight champion of Cincinnatt, in one round. The bout took place at the Suburban Road House, on the Bladensburg ptke, but was too short to satisfy the sports who had gathered there. The local champion made an excellent showing, and will be backed for another meeting with Ryan, who is supposed to be the best man in his class. Haley was no match for him, and was practically beaten at the first exchange of blows, in which he was knocked off his fect and remained down for nine seconds only to rise and be knocked out for gocd.
