eePINK" HAWLEY MAY QUIT.
Crack Pitcher of the Reds Objects to
Temperance Clause in His Contract.

Beaver Dam, Wis, Feb. 11.-Unless
the Cincinnati base ball club accedes to
the demand of Emerson (Pink) Haw-
ley, the star twirler of the Reds staff
last season, the Beau RrummelI' of
the diamond will not be with them the
coming season.
Pink takes a most serious view of
the temperance clause in the contract
sent him week ago, and also the cut
made in his salary. Should the club re-
fuse to cut out the temperance clause
and raise the salary the Pink will
quit the diamond for good and join his
father in the contracting business at
Beaver Dam, Wis. Pink expressed
himself as follows: ''I will never sign
it, and you can bet your life on it. If
I want a drink of beer after a game I
am going to take 1t. Then the salary
is not just to my liking. If do not get
what I asked Of the club. then I drop
out"

Dreyfuss Denies Report.

Barney Dreyfuss rid!cules the idea
that Louisville persons will buy some
of the players and have team in the
Western league next year. Said he:
The report sent out from Chicago
is absurd and ridiculous. I had not
before heard that syndicate of Louis
Vile people was thinking of embark
ing in the baseball business. You can
put it down that nothing in regard to
the Louisville players or our fran
chise will be done until the league
meets" T-
From what can be learned on the
inside of baseball circles there is no
doubt that several members of the
Louisville team will be, or have been,
practically sold to Chicago, and that
Harry Pulliam. the former president
and present secretary and treasurer of
the Colonies, will hold a responsible
position with the representative ball
manipulators of the Windy city in
1900. What is to become of the Louis
vile franchise is a matter of conjec-
ture. Zach Phelps, director of the
Louisville club, says he knows nothing
about what is going on, and so does
Larry Cato, another director. Deb
Ter, still another director and vice
president of the club, processes ignor-
ance, while Harry Pulliam is on a
hunting trip in the southern part of
the state, arranged especially that he
might evade inquisitive newspaper
men.
Dreyfuss declared positively that
nothing had been determined. and that
he had nothing to say. The baseball
supporters in Louisville have given up
all hope Of having a club in the big
league next season.

league Will be the most important one
In several respects of all ever held The
harmony of the organization and its flu
ture policy will be involved in some of
the questions to be decided as they
never were before. The chief question,
Of course, will be the control of rae
ing. A member of the organization
said:
For the next assembly some small
city should be chosen, because in big
city like New York or Philadelphia the
members get scattered. There is going
to be too much to do at the meeting
next February for us to meet in any
big place. In a small city where all
hands will be crowed together in one
or two hotels we will DO much better.
For my part, / would suggest place
like Trenton, N. j., which is not too
big. and yet is central. do not think
that the racing question or any other
will be railroaded through to vote.

There will be no gag rule and no limit

This is all very necessary at this
time. The future of the league de-
Ponds upon it's being so. For my part
favor giving up racing, but I do want
to say that Chairman Gerlach and his
associates deserve credit for standing
by their guns They were named as the
executive to carry out the will of the
league as expressed ny the last as
sembly. I do not think they are either
blind or foolish. I believe that most

to learn what is for it's interest in
racing matters as well as Others"

West POint-AnnapoIiS,

A great deal of interest centers in the
game between the two great govern
ment institutions at West Point and
Annapolis on December g This is the
first meeting of the naval and military
academies since 1893 and their COM
parative merits are therefore an un-
solved problem. West Point has had the
advantage of playing with Harvard,
Yale, Princeton and Columbia, and has
trained vigorously under alumni coach
es, while Annapolis has depended upon
a resident instructor with outside as
sistance. West Point is not up to it's
usual weight this year and its backs
have not displayed the dash char
acteristic in the past. Annapolis, On
the other hand. has been fortunate this
season in its original material, and has
faithfully developed it's team play.
The four games played previous to
1898 resulted in favor of the naval
cadets, with one exception. The first

Point, when the visitors won by a score

trieving themselves turned the tables
the following year with a score of &c
to 16. In 1892 and 1898 Annapolis de-
veloped rapidly in strength and gener-
alship and won by the scores of IL to
4 and to A. In the latter year the au-
thorities felt that the annual game
was interfering in some unima ginable
way with the studies of the cadets and
forbade the custom. No objection was
made, however, to the cadets playing
with other elevens, and they have ac-
cordingly kept abreast of the times
The game will be played on Franklin

Jacksonville Rejected.

1t has been officially announced by
President keenan, OF the League of
American Wheelmen that the next ma
tional assembly will not be held at
Jacksonville, Fla, as was planned. No
other place has yet been designated,
however, and there are several that
would like to have it. 1t has been sus-
pected for some months that Jackson
willie would not do. and the place of the
annual meeting and political convention
would be changed before the time ar
rived, which is next February. The
reason assigned for the change is that
it has been impossible to make satisfac-

Hunter Chosen Unanimously.

Joseph Hunter was elected captain
of the Northwestern university foot
ball team for 1900 at the meeting of the
team in Chicago last week. A banquet
was given to the team after the game
with Pardue, and the election followed
the dinner. So successful have Hun
ter's efforts been that every man in
Northwestern football circles was eager
to see him elected captain of the team
for the third time.
Hunter was captain in 1897 and was
reelected in 1898. but resigned to go to
the war. He returned from the war
with honors and as lieutenant of the
Rockford rifles. with whom ne had gone

Erne and o'Brien Confident.

Frank Erne and Jack O'Brien are
hard at work for their championship
battle, which is scheduled to take place
at Coney Island Dec. 4. Erne is now
undergoing a severe course OF training,
while O'Brien is preparing for the en-
counter up in Westchester. Both men
are confident of victory. and when they
come together in the famous arena by
the sea the spectators should see one
of the greatest fights ever decided be-
tween lightweights
Erne is the popular favorite among
the sporting fraternity. but there are
many who believe that O'Brien has an
excellent chance to carry off the honors
and who intend to wager their money
on the New Yorker.

McGraU Again Refuses.

Mr. O'Brien of Milwaukee, one of
the promoters of the new baseball
league, and Mr.. Clough. Anson's som
in-law, held a long consultations in Bal
timore with Manager McGraw of the
Baltimore club. They tried their best
to interest the Baltimore manager in
the new scheme and assured him that
they were prepared to start at once in
four Western cities and only needed
Baltimore in the East. They said that
Tommy Mccarthy would have plenty
of money behind him. McGraw, how
ever, gave them little encouragement.
He said that he would not enter into
any scheme that antagonizes the Ma
tional league. Should Baltimore be
dropped from the league and he put
into the new association under the pro-
lection of the National league, then
McGraw would be willing to take
charge of the team. Mr.. O'Brien ad-
mitted that the new organization must
necessarily antagoniZe the league; that
while conflict in dates would be avoid

Spected

Baseball Trans fer Is Made.

The deal by which W. H. Watkins
became the owner of the Indianapolis
baseball club and franchise has been
closed and the formal transfer made
by John T. Brush and others. Mr.. Wat
kins declines to say what is to be the
ultimate disposition of the club, but it
is believed that it will enter the new
American association, and Indianapolis
will be thus connected with the larger
cities in its baseball interests The new
owner has run up against a snag at the
outset, however, as the residents near
the proposed new park are very much
opposed to its conversion into a dia-
mond and will seek to prevent it by
having baseball legally declared to be
a nuisance.

Reduction in Clubs.

Ed Hanlon said to reporter the 9TH
err day: IT know reduction of the cir
cult would be good thing, and have
plan whereby the much-desired result
can be brought about. All the club
owners have spoken to on the subject
seem to agree with my idea, but I am
afraid that when they get together at
the annual meeting they may not, as a
body deem 1t advisable to adopt my
plan. My idea would be to bring about
a change that would result in two eight
club leagues. OF course, this can not
be done on wind, and there is the rub.
With the National league circuit re-
duced to eight clubs there would be a
grand and general revival Of interest
in baseball, and every member of the
two leagues would make plenty of
money. Baseball is not pastine dur
ing the winter, when plans have to be
laid for another season and measures
devised to promote the popularity of
the sport. 1t requires great deal Of
hard thinking to bring about reduction
without friction. Every club has to
consent to the withdrawal or transfer
of a membership, and Of course if there
is, any objection to a single club,

Will be either with Chicago or New York
next season. The informant stands
pretty close to the powers that be, and
this statement can be relied upon.
MI. Dreyfuss says there is no decker
on with any team for the Louisville
players or the clubs franchise. He said
that he intends to go to the, league
meeting and explain the Louisville sit
uation fully to the other magnates and
ask them to etraighten out the Louis
willie muddle, as it is too much for him.
1t Is said that there Is nothing in the
dicker for a franchise in the American
league by Louisville capitalists. 1t is
claimed that couple of Ed Fuckers
friends here, knowing him to be in Chi
cago, wired him as a joke to see Presi-
dent Johnson about getting a franchise.

he has practically secured lease Of

that downtown real estate firm was
ready to turn over to the Arson syndi-
cate the baseball grounds used by the
Columbia Giants last season. The
grounds are located west of Wentworth
avenue between Thirty-eighth and
Thirty-ninth streets, and are adjacent
to the Wanderers cricket grounds. On
the west the field is f1anked by the rail-
road tracks of the Western Indiana
system. The backing which is claimed
for Arson consists of a local brewing
company and one of the south side
transportation companies. The brew
ing concern will stand responsible for
building the grandstand, while the
transportation company will aid in
other expenses incidental to laying out
and enlarging the field. The field as
arranged at present is not large enough
to accommodate the expected thous-
ands, but the plat of land is plenty big
enough, so extension is easy. 1t is
figured that $4,000 will be enough to
build stands and fit out the grounds,
making them second to none in the city.
