Executive Com mmittee of the New York
Club Sustains Freedman In HIS
Attitude Toward Amos.

New York, April Amos Rusic, the
reca!citrant pitcher of the New York hasc'
bail club, is now in this city. He secured
a room for himself and wife 10y telegraph,
and is now at BoardinG-housc on one Hun
dred and Twenty-eiGhth street. He was
seen this morning, but refused 10 talk
other than 10 say that his visit was one or
business. One thing is certain. and that is
he came here of his own mind. and the fact
that he brought his wife with him Is good
reason to believe that lie intends 10 sign.

box for the Giants. His salary does not

In this same connection is the significant
fac, that a meeting WAS he I yesterday

took place behind closed doors. All the

The board carefully looked over the tes'iI
mony in the case gathered by the club and
unanimously decided that the 5000 OF fines
were just and necessary for team discip-
line. 1t was further decided. after careful
consideration, that the National Board has
no jurisdiction, and that if RuSie has an ap-
peal. it must be made to the National Lea que
board of directors. That was the commit
tees report for publication.
Mr.. Irwin, the manager. does not dis
approve of the clubs firm stand. much a
he would like To see Rusie in a New York
Uniform, for he realizes only too well that
discipline must be maintained In order TO
get good work from the team. An Idea has
been sent forth that he is fighting for the
remission of Rusie's fines, but IL is not
true. Irwin has simply ordered Rusie to
report. and he mailed him a contract call
