St. Paul, May 7.—War conditions will be brought home to American Association baseball players with a Jolt this week, for President Thomas J. Hickey will personally tell every athlete in the league that if a Fed- eral war tax of 10 per cent, of the gross receipts is imposed on all amusements the American Association will be forced to shut down for the season, unless players are willing to take a slight reduction in their sti- pends President Hickey was in the twin cities over the week, and held two conferences with Messrs.. Norton and Cantillon, the local club owners. Mr. Hickey will not go into details as to the result of these conferences, but he admits that a radical reduction in expenses will be necessitated if the Federal tax becomes law. . President Hickey does not say that he is going to tell the players that they must either take a reduction in stipends or remain idle for the rest of the season. He asserts he is gaing to discover how they feel about it, and’ he intimates that a meeting of masg- nates may be held in the twin cities toward the end of the week. Hickey declares the International jeague magnates are working along the same lines, but, he adds, they have succeeded in keeping all men- tion of the matter out of the news- papers in cities that ‘are members of the circuit.

Henderson, reported as severely wounded, was a member of the King's Own Scottish Boderers, and was generally rated as the fore- most amateur sprinter in Scotland. Captain J.

Twenty-four Bames, eleven in the National and thirteen in the American, were post- Poned to be played Mtér, mostly in double-headers. Despite the handicap, however, of rain-soaked grounds, some good base- ball was shown ,especially on Wednes- 4ay, which brought forth probably the best pitching of the year. Vaughn, of Chicaga and Toney, of Cincinnati, set up a record at Chicago when they went nine innings without allowing the opposing batsngen a hit or run. . Weakens in Tenth. Vaughn weakened in the tenth and the Reds won the game 1 to 0 on two singles, the only hits of the contest. Both pitchers had brilliant support. At the Pola Grounds the same day New York and Brooklyn battled through 14 innings to a 2—3 tie, the second extra-inning tie game for Brooklyn in two weeks. Ames, pitch- ing for St. Louis, held Pittsburgh to two hits, winning by 4 to 0. In the American there were two shut-outs by scores of 3 t¢ 0. Fisher helped New York beat Washington, with Johnson in the box, and Dauss piteched Detroit to victory over St. Louis. d . New Yark held its leadership in the National until Sunday, when St, Louis went ahead through a 4 to 0 victory over Cincinnati. §St. Louis lost two to Chicago and won two from Pittsburgh during the week and with Chicago, which continued a winning pace, may be troublesome for the Eastern teams when :ro Western clubs come East this week. Philadelphia and Brooklyn did not lose a game and improved their posi- tions at the expense of Boston, which fell to seventh place, and New York, which did pot win & game. Tie for Firet Place. The tie for first place in the Ameri- can was broken and Boston, which took two games from Philadelphia, now has & commanding lead over , which failed to keep up its previous good gait and lost three out of four games. 5 New York held on to third place while even in & four-game series with Washington. St. Louis climbed from sixth to fourth place snd is right behind New York. The Browns won three out of four games and made the first triple play of the meason at the expense of Cleveland on Monday. Philadelphia fell back, but Detroit showed a flash of its theoretical strength and came through the week with a clean slate, The Eastern teams in the American league will begin the first Western i invasion on May 19, the day after the National intersectional games 'begin, and on the result of these struggles the pennant prospects of some teams may depend. OUBS ARE BEATEN. The Pirates of Hartford defeated the Cubs of this city yesterday af- ternoon in a hard fought game on Hart’s fleld, the final score was 2 to 1. The pitching of Perry was a bright feature of the Pirates’ work, the Cap- itol city hurler retiring twenty-one of the local bat wielders by the s o. route. He allowed but two hits. Nim- 'ro, on the mound, worked well for the losers, he having fourteen strikeouts to his credit. The locals scored their only tally through the daring work on the bases by Calasia, who stole sec- ond base, third base and home. Perry and Gallon were the battery for the visitors while Nimro and Calazia ‘worked for the homesters. TO LEAD U, OF P. TEAM. BaI-’hua:lelr»:.ihh.
