WILL WARD GO TO WASHINGTON?
THERE Is STRONG CHANCE OF IT, But THERE
ARE STILL SOME CONDITIONS TO BE SETTLED.

THERE Is sTRoNG CHANCE OF IT, But THERE
ARE STILL SOME CONDITIONS TO BE SETTLED.
AS has already been published IN The Tribune,
Captain Ward WILL IN all probability, become a mem
Der Of the Washington team. But It is by no means
definitely settled. Ward has not been released and
possibly may not be. 1t is true that conditional
agreement has been entered into by John b. Day
and Walter Hewitt, Of the Washingtons, that in the
event Of certain contingencies the players release
will be sold to Washington. These conditions, how
ever, are many and varied. One Of them IS that
Walter Hewitt must purchase all Of the stock in
the Washington club. Then Wards release may be
bought for $4,000. But before tho deal is consum
mated Ward must agree TO play in Washington
Thus It will be that Mr.. Hewitt could not
have taken the coveted release TO Washington, as
it said he did.
When yesterday John B. Day said: ward
may go to Washington, and he may not. The agree
ment l have made with Hewitt STIMULATES that he
must full control Of all the Washington club
stock. and must make terms satisfactory TO Ward
before I will consent TO release him"
The question now arises, will Ward consent TO go
to the Washington club without first receiving part
Of the purchase money that will be paid for his
release, If they do come to terms on salary
Michael WEIGH, the steady pitcher OF the New York
club visited the city yesterday and before he started
for home he had signed contract 10 play next
salary that he got last season. WEIGH says that
the reduction In salaries proposed by the managers
has to come He thinks there VIII be no trouble
between the managers and players.
