St. Louis, Jan. 19—S. P. Britton, | president of the St. Louis National | league baseball club, declared yester- day that the price he and his wife | had placed on their club, at the re- | quest of Harry S. Sinclair, would not ‘be lowered. Sinclair, who last weck asked Britton what he wanted for ths club, stated reports from New York, that he con- sidered the price too high, and unless Britton would modify his demands considerably they would not be taken <under consideration. It is said the price asked was $400,- 000 for the franchise, players and par, the same that was named last December, when Ball and Stifel of the St. Louis Federals sought to buy the Cardinals. Britton yesterday said that since putting the price on the club last week he had heard nothing direct from Sinclair, and all he knew | of Sinclair's refusal was what he had read in yesterday's press service. “We did not give an option on the club last month or in the present in- stance. Both times we were asked to name a price and we did. It the same in both cases,” ton. “We are not anxious to gef out of baseball, but would if a prica were offered for the club which would | tempt us to sell. Mr. Sinclair wired us last week and asked us to name , & price. We are going ahead making our plans for next season.” It is said that the Brittons made two proposals to Sinclair. One called for $200,000 for franchise and p! 878 and the other for $200,000 for the park propert y TO DECIDE FATE SOON.

Billy Gibson Insists that Joe Rivers must make 135 pounds ringside or he will not allow Benny Leonard to bo. him at the Harlem on Feb 5. Johnny Ertle, who claims the ban- tamweight champlonship as a resuit of the referee disqualifying Kid Wil- liams in the last bout between the two, has agreed to a returi match at the Harlem Sporting club. Wheth- er the bout will take place rests now with Sam Harris, manager of Wil- liams. Ertle demands that the bout be at 116 pounds ringside, while Har- ris has been holding out for 118 pounds.

All Catholic clubs are invited to send delegates to the meeting. Entries for the Millrose A. A. in- door games, which take place in Madison Square Garden next week, will close today. This early closing date was necessitated by the re. markably big entry received for the sports. Nick Gianakopulos of the Millrose A. A. winner of the national cross- country championship, was guest of honor at a reception given in his be- half by the members of the Seventy first Regiment. The big athlete w led upon to make a speech. He ‘said: “Nick, he is the only man who ever beat Hannes Kolehmainen in a six-mile scratch race; three cheers for Nick,” And then he sat down.

Cross has trained I hard for the event and will be in the best of condition when he en- {ters the ring. Hobey Baker, the star player of the St. Nicholas Skating club’s hockey | team, is feared that he will not be able to | play with the team when it lines up | against the strong Boston A. A. seven in Boston on Saturday night. Those two clubs are regarded as the con- tenders for the championship, and, with Baker out of the game, the Bos- | ton team will have a splendid chance of winning on Saturday. CHANCE GETS THREE MEN.
