BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 26.-Presi-
cent ard Manager Hanlon sent out two
letters yesterday morning. The first
Was to President Young, advising him
that Baltimore had fulfilled the league
law providing that each player under
reservation shall be sent a contract be-
fore March l.
The other was a formal notice to the
players that the team will leave for the
South On March II, and that each is
expected to report in Baltimore for the
trip, CT reach the training ground at
the same time as those who leave here
on that day.
Nineteen contracts have been sent to
players who are expected to wear the
Oriole uniform this year. Comparative
ly few have been returned signed, but
the fact that every man has sent his
measure for uniform augurs that the
diamond dress suits" ordered in New
York yesterday will be used In order
that the contract will surely reach the
person to whom it is addressed, Man
ager Hanlon sent more than one in
some instances.
Four were mailed to Corbett at differ
ent points.
Mr.. Hanlon is determined to take
South every man of the nineteen this
year, but no player will be taken South
who has not signed. Every player who
stays away and begins the season out
of condition will be laid off, without
pay, until he demonstrates his ability
to earn his salary.
For some years it has been customary
for at least three of the Orioles to give
the greater part of the preliminary

St Louis of these three men, who, many
persons believed, would not be seen in this

he jumped the team and returned to his

Won der Ahes removing the fine imposed On

Wittrcck was negotiating with the Detroit
club, but manager Vanderbeek was so
slow in making up his mind that Wittrock
signed with Billy King, manager of the
Burlington team. King used to be a catcher
