Pink" Hawley was in Cincinnati Mon
day and held a conference with CAPTAIN
Manager Ewing and Treasurer Lloyd of
the Cincinnati club on the salary question.
Hawley received $2.40O for playing with
Pittsburg last season. and wants a raise
for his services with the Cincinnatis next
season. Ewing and Lloyd told Pink" pos
itively that the raise would not be forth
coming but the latter left the same night
for indianapolis to see President Brush on
the matter. Yesterday these two men had
a long confab in the latter city, but up to
late hour last night the result OF the
conference could not be learned. AS Haw-
ley has made kick for an increase. IL
now expected that Elmer Smith. also
secured from Pittsburg. will fall in line
and also demand more salary. Smith also
received the limit. 400, from Pittsburg.
All reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. it looks from this distance that if
these two meE hold out for the increase
the additional salary will be forthcoming
before the season opens next spring. The
Cincinnati club simply cannot do without
these men.
