There is likely to be lots of fun on account
of the arrest OF Pitcher Mark Baldwin, and
before matters are fixed up it may be that
Mr. Won der Abe will be behind the bars.
Yesterday President O'Neill wired from New
York to Attorney S. Schoyer, OF this city,
pointing cut that the arrest of Baldwin was
malicious, and that he, Mr.. Schoyer, had to
find out who the prosecutor was and have HIM
arrested at once. Institute cross SUITS sand
Mr.. O'NeilL
Attorney SchOycr at once wired two we'll
1uown ST. Louis lawyers TO take the case in
hand, that is 10 defend Baldwin and enter suit
against the prosecutor, who is supposed to be
,-ou der A lie. Yesterday afternoon Baldwin
wiIes Manager Hanlon asking him if ever he
IaG wired Pitcher King asking his terms. or in
any way soldering him to sign with the Pitts
burg club. Manager Hanlon certainly has not
in any shape or form even intimated to Mr..
King that he was wanted to pitch in Pittsburg,
nor has he ever been in communication with
King Or any of Won der Ahe's players. This
eXplOdes the charge of conspiracy, or the
charge that Baldwin was a conspiracy to
CAPTURE or steal Won der Ahe's players. If. as
ated Non der Abe is determined TO push the
ease to It's limits. the PirtsburG club is Just rs
determined TO make il warm for the ST. Louis
HeeI seller.
Manager Hanlon returned from Erie yester-
day. where lie had been visiting BierGauer II
was up seeing our second baseman." said Mr..
Hl5,lon. merely to talk over few private
matters Oh no; my visit had nothing to do
with his contract. 1 was not looking after Dell
Daring. IS we have plenty OF pitchers: Bier,
rauer Is al right. and he will report in good
condition. He thinks we VIII have a great
team"
Manager Hanlon continued: I'VE have de-
IL "a N-saFl a.
There viii be a meeting Of the directors Of the
club next week. when the affairs of the club
vii be thoroughly discussed, and we may then
decide 10 try and get an ouriielder. But al
most forgot Browning He has our contract yet.
He Las not sent 1t back, As some papers have
stated. He may sign it IT any time, and il he
does we wal keep him. But we are
we can rest content with the men
We have already. / cannot state what
will DO with I'd Swartwood until after the
directors meeting. He Is good player, but
We have several good ones already signed. Aud
Let me state his while l think about it. The
story that Bierbauer Is going TO get 81, 800 from
Us for the season Is absolutely false. We are
paying no such salaries.
Manager Hanlou then went on to say that 1t
haa been resolved no. to take the team South.
p.eLtg Of good practice could be had here.
Il have scheme he said. which Will think,
be a God one. We had made arrangements to
play three games here with the St Paul club.
But the break of the Association has knocked
lldt on lne heaO- because 81 / aul was 70 play
a series OF games with the Columbus. Louis
vile and Cincinnati clubs. The disruption has
hrukeu these dates, and Manager Watkins
Write me TO the effect that his team, the St
Pauls. cannot come thiS far East for three
games only. Well. l have asked Mr.. Watkins
10 bring his team here for week for praC-
tieo. II he does this both his team and ours
VIII be greatly benefited. Al any rate We VIII
get plenty of practice games"
The manager Is quite satisfied with schedule.
He thinks there Will be no harm in the club
winding up the season away from home. as
Cleveland j. very good place to wind up.
1nE nj FOCarty Mr.. HanlOn said that very likely
FOgartyS mother is in Philadelphia now'to
take HIM home to California to stay few
months
