Chicago, April 2.-There is imminent
danger of a huge disruption In the Ma
tional league. The players are up In
arms against the magnates. and are
openly talking of strike. The trouble
has arisen over the new contract that
-very player in the league signed this
spring. The change in the contract Ia
small and makes the pay OF the players
commence April Is. instead of on April
I. and ends Oct. 15, instead OF Oct.1. The
players claim that the contract u framed
TO rob them, and that when they signed
they did not understand the fun pur-
port OF II. The players OF the Chicago
team have been. for three days, dis
tussing the matter and making threats
NJ open rebellion. Anson says he can
not see where the difference is, as the
men get the same money for playing
the same length OF time.
