CLUBS WERE PAID NOT T0 PLAY BALL Opposition of the New York Mag- “nate of No Moment. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES —_-_+—__—_ The stand taken by Magnate Freedman of New York, in refusing to sign the agree- ment reducing the National League circuit to eight cities, is the most prominent base ball topic now. Mr. Freedman strenuously demanded the reduction of the circuit, and after it has been accompifshed, once more he comes to the front with a kick over the Slagle case. Many writers labor under the impression that Mr. Freedman’s refusal to sign the agreement invalidates the reduc- tion, as. it-requires the unanimous consent of twelve clus, under the league's consti- tution, to bring about such a radical meas- ure. No Actual Reduction. Just such @ stand as taken by Freedman was anticipated by the framers of the agreement, and although The Star is not at liberty to give the exact wording of this important paper, it can be stated that a reduction has not been made in a legal sense, the four clubs—Baltimore, Washing- ton, Louisville and Cleveland—being paid an amount of money to not play ball the next two seasons. The legal talent connected with the Na- tional League may not be the most bril- liant in the world, but it knows the base ball business from all points of the com- pass, especially the fads and foibles of the magnates, and when the agreement was written the present stand taken by Freed- man was looked after. The worst thing Mr. Freedman can now do ts to hurt the other seven by refusing to’ strengthen his club, thereby reducing the patronage. But Mr. Freedman will be confronted with a situation the coming season not before realized by him, and that is that the other seven clubs will be more evenly matched, have more games together and as a result made a great deal of money. With New York strengthened and playing winning ball the league magnates would simply pull off a cartload of money, but under the present conditions they will secure a big sum, and so can view with almost com- placency the assinine antics of the New York magnate. Several papers have hinted at the fact that when Freedman once real- izes that the National League will go on its way without him, he will resort to a legal injunction to prevent the circuit re- duction and in tieing the organization up once more bring the magnates to their knees, The agreement will protect the league, and Mr, Freedman will more than likely have to go through the “crawling” act he has so much enjoyed seeing his fellow mag- nates do. The Rusie Casé. Another little cloud is also looming up in Mr. Freedman'’s pathway, which may cause considerable trouble. Amos Rusie has been kept out of earning a livelihood for the past year because he values his ser- vices above the figures placed on them by Freedman, but does not intend to take this bitter medicine another year. He is worth every bit of $3,000 to any club in the league, but Freedman says he must play for $2,000 or nothing. It is more than prob- able that Rusie will take his case into court, so as to get his release from the New York club, and it will then be seen whether the other clubs will refuse to sign the great twirler in the face of the present antics of Mr. Freedman. When it is comprehended the little effort that is needed on Freedman’s part to place a winning ball club in New. York and clear at least $100,000 on the season his present antagonism {s incomprehensible. The New York infield, Doyle, Gleason, Davis and Mercer, is the equal of any in the league. With Rusie back in the fold, Selbach in left and Cooley in right, the Giants would in- deed be formidable. Selbach and Cooley can both be secured, and all Rusie wants is the limit, $2,400, the same money he has been paid heretofore by the New York manager. > McGraw and Robinson. Manager Hanlon and Magnate Robison arrived in New York yesterday, the former giving out the information that the Brook- lyn club will leave for its southern train- ing grounds Monday, taking along fully thirty players. Both gentlemen were em- phatic in the declaration that both McGraw and Robinson will go to St. Louis to play ball next season, as all the demands made by the two players have been agreed to. McGraw and Robinson will get princely salaries next season, and, in addition, quite a large-sized portion of the $18,000 paid for their release. Both men have given out the statement that they do not want to leave | Baltimore on account of the business in that city, but it is done for effect. and ither man is silly enough to drop from $6,000 to $10,000 through sentiment. With McGraw and Robinson in line the St.. Louis magnate has come out with the challenge that he is willing to wager $100 to $60 with his fellow magnates that they cannot name the club that will beat out the Tebeauties. It is a little early to predict the standing of the eight clubs, but the fact cannot be gain- sayed that the St.-Louis club will be an exceptionally strong one the coming sea- son. Nates. When the Brooklyns leave for the south Monday every club but New York will be in spring training. It was expected that Manager Ewing would take the Giants south next Wednesday, but now he inti- mates that the club may not go south at all. The Cincinnati papers are already ham- mering Magnate Brush on the apparent weakness of the Reds. Have the Cincin- nati writers forgotten the fact that Mr. Brush has been about the most liberal man in the business when buying players is con- sidered, but he has been goldbricked ail down the Hine in buying veterans and has now taken another tack? The Reds cer- tatnly look weak, but who can foretell the development of the young blood under Man- ager Allen. The Reds have had clusters of stars in years past and quit miserably be- fore the season was half over. It is but right to give Manager Allen a chance with promising students and hope for the best. The story of McGuire's tit with the Brooklyn management over this year’s con- tract has come into Washington by the grapevine route. In years gone by McGuire always signed a contract with the Wag- ners for the Hmit and another one calling for transportation for himself and wife be- tween this city and Albion, Mich. The Brooklyn club sent Jim the limit contract and said that was all he would be given. As the circuit reduction was concluded and mgny players ~vere on the market Jim concluded to take the limit. LOOKS LIKE PEACE. American League to Have a Club in Chicago. CHICAGO, March 17.-A committee of magnates of the American Base Ball League held another conference today with President James A. Hart of the Chicago National League club, with a view to reach- ing an agreement in regard to the placing of an American League team in Chicago the coming season. None of the parties interested in the conference would talk before the meeting took place, but from other sources it is learned that the situa- tion has taken on a broader phase than the mere placing of a minor league team in this city, and that the negottations really involve the shutting out of any ssible rival of the National League in National League territory. The removal of Comis- key’s team from St. Paul to Chicago is be- leved by many to be but the entering wedge for the formation of another big league. It Is believed an amicable settlement will be made whereby the American League will place a_team in Ohicago with the consent of the National but under condi- tions involving the giving the best dates LOS SOHMETO Se reerccvcencccesesees PARKER;-BRIDGET & CO. seeesceee eee SOSSOH OSHS SOS EOS OSES ESOS SEE ESOSEOE SEES ECOSEESESE - PARKER, BRIDGET & CO. f PARKER, BRIDGET & CO.

Everybody knows that-yet how mauy peo- ple take care of their health as they ought to? How many people go scrambling along, putting off the slight necessary attention to their physical condition, or neglecting some little ill, until it becomes harder to cure? Trying Out the Y. M. C. A. Base Ball Candidates. As a resu!t of a call for candidates for the base ball team of the Young Men's Christien Association more than sixty names have been handed to Captain Nich- olson. Among this list are many of the best amateur, ball players in the city, insuring for the association a team able to cope with any of the strong college and athletic club nines of the south. Captain Nicholson is himself an experienced pitcher, having captained and played with the Rockville, Md., team for the past five years. Some of the men who will try for places on the association team are Harry Greene, the well-known first baseman, who cap- tained the Columbian "Varsity for several seasons; Eddie Mills, Columbian’s old sec- ond baseman; Roger Shaw, who played a star game at short for the Rockville team ‘ast season; Harding, a former Maryland Agricultural College catcher, Stewart, the big guard of the foot ball team last fall, who pitched on the University of Texas nine; Atchison, the crack shortstop of the District League last summer; Karns, a left-hand pitcher of the strong Y. M.C. A. team of several years ago, and McQuade, Hendley, Herring, Tillman, Davidson, Ross, Pomeroy, Owens and many other we'l- known local players. The regular schedule of the team will not open until the middle of April, and in order to get a line on the ability of the players it has been decided to select six teams from among the candidates for games during the preliminary practice. American League in Session. The American Bese Ball League owners held a secret session in Chicago yesterday, discussing the make-up of the circult for the coming base ball season. Ban Johnson resided. The question of placing a team in was discussed. It transpired that @ proposition made to President Hart of the National League club in Chicago had deen rejected. Hart said: “The committee asked me how I stood. I told the members that I had never been consulted. Then they asked what J would do. I told them that to enter without my consent would mean war by the National League. They asked if I would consider any peace terms. I said yes on a fair business proposition. Then they returned. You can form your own conclusigns as to whether I will hear from them again.” Atlantic League Will Go On.
