1a s TRUA = ees @ Fact That Practice Goes Merrily On Has Made Many Stars For- get Salary Reductions. | HE fact that all of the baseball teams in both leagues are hard at! -work has worked wonders in the camps of the players who refused to sign contracts a few weeks ago. In the last day or two there has been a wild scrambléto get back into the band wagon. Three weeks ago there were at least twenty-five good men who simply wouldn't play ball in 1904 at the pitiful stipend offered them. To-day the number has shrunk} to seven or eight, and they will be aboard by April 1. | Donahue in the Fold. Frank Donahue, pitcher of the Cleveland Blues, has surrendered and) ‘hes notified thé club that he will join the spring training squad. While the mere fact that Donahue has given up the fight against a reduction of his, Pay is not specially important or interesting, it is worthy of notice as a 00d sample of the week's doings. The enttance of the Pacific League into the camp of organized baseball hi Biven the magnates the four acer they required to get the hopeless bulge upon thelr players, Had the outlaw league held fast the players could have plaved Toth ends against the middle, and could have made some sort of pleasing terms father than be allowed to stray to Californian. That golden chance Is gone— there is no place for a player to hide, no chance for a man in the sulk to make Dig sulkiness profitable. \ The Salary Cutting. | Jt was gonerally figured, before the theaty with the outlaw league. that the Salary cutting would not amount to much in i9(—that some of the highest priced | Hoys would be released, u few contracts which had rumeeut would not be re- hewed at any exorbitant figure, and a lot of new players Would be taken on for smaller money, #0 that the salary Ist, for inatance, which footed up $40,000 In 2:03, would be cut to maybe $45,000 for this season, But the magnates, with the Players in their power, have jumped on them like a fat man squashing a June! bug. Right and left the salaries have been massacred, and more than one club} ts necused of showing rank bad faith apd keen ingratitude, Men who refused | huge offers und stood Joyal to their managers have been given the axe even more fruelly than others, and, in somo cases, loyal stare have been asked to necept fess money thnn has been given raw youngsters just beaking in, The League Fight. Whe magnates of the two bix tea, < that the American Leaguers are tired ot on ventaon Merrmann's decision, and are going tu jump on Ban, while another report repre- ®enis the American League tribe solidly arrayed with Ban and anxious to! Make # fight. The latter is the more probable state of affairs, for if there was 4¥er © one-man body it is the American League, and Ban is It with a capital I. ‘The relations of the two big leagues are horribly stratned--there {s no chance to doubt that—and the maintenance of peace is a hard proposition, Still, dt ts botiikely that anybody wants to fight.
