NICHOLS FAvoRs LEAGUE
Famous Boston Pitcher Gives His EN-
ploYers a Swell send-OR

Boston, Feb. 3.-CharleS Nichols,
pitcher on the Boston ball team, today
said in regard to the new association:
1T has never seemed to me that the re-
serve rule as 1t is now framed is quite
the right thing, as it is too one-sided,
the clubs having everything their own
way, but at the same time the game
could not get along without some kind
of a reserve rule, and I think a modifi-
cation of the one now existing would
serve the purpose.
For example, a player could be.re-
served for a limited period and then
be allowed to sign where he wanted to.
1t is bound to come to that in time.
The selling of players will also be mod
ifed in time, and it ought to be.
Il have nothing against the new as
sociation. If it can be conducted so as
not to make war with the National
league I think it will be a splendid thing
for baseball players. If there is going
to be another war it will hurt the game
badly. In fact, don't know if the
game could stand another fight like
that of 1891. Personally have no fault
to find with the National league and
would not want to be employed by bet
ter men than Soden, Billings and Conant
1 never knew them to be unjust to
player in their employ, and 1 know of
many instances of their generosity to
players. If all heads of league clubs
were like them baseball would be much
better off than it is"
There is no reason to believe that
Nichols did not mean exactly what he
said, for whatever sins may beset the
national game in some cities, Boston
has always maintained a high standard
of reSpectability.

a big reception by his countrymen.
Olsen is a giant in stature. His shoul-
ders are of immense breadth; his chest
is brawny and deep and his back look
ed as broad as the rear of hack His
grip is like a wise. His height is over
six feet, but this is not appreciated until
he is seen towering, as he did today,
over the ordinary sized men who sur
rounded him.
His whole appearance gives one the
impression of gigantic strength. He is
not fat or grOSs-looking, his flesh being
so distributed over his big form that
there is not the least sign of f1abbiness.
He is a typical Norseman. Olsen has
come to this country to wrestle Ernest
Roeber for the championship of the
world. The match will take place at
the Madison Square garden in March.

1EEvER DECLINES TO SIGN.
Pittsburg Pitcher Wants More Salary
Which Dreyfuss Refuses.

Pittsburg. Feb Sammy Lever. the
pitcher of the Pittsburg club, has refused
to sign the contract sent him and there
is every indication of trouble between the
Ohio schoolmaster and the pirate manage
ment He is the only Pittsburg player
that has not signed He was offered $500
a year more than his 1898 salary. but he
wants the limit
day from Louisville he found a letter
from Lever asking for a conference.
Dreyfuss said:
1T is a bad plan to raise men to the
limit the second year they show ability:
Then they do not know what they want
when the next time for signing comes
around I learned that from John T.
Brush. He always made it point to
raise mans salary by degrees. Then
the player appreciated each and every
cent that was given
1T also made man ambitious to get
to the top. Lever will have to come
down if he wants to play next season"

JACKSON WANTS MATCHES.
"Young Peter" Who Whipped Tracy,
Goes to San Francisco.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 3.-"Young
Peter jackson arrived here yesterday
morning from Stockton, accompanied
by his manager, Biddy Bishop. Jackson
recently Ieaped into fame by gaining a
victory over Tom Tracy, and he comes
here to secure a match with any good
man in his class. 1t is more than likely
that the National club will match Jack
son with Paddy Purteu or with the win
ner of the Neiil-O' 'Brien fight.
Jackson, although a resident Of Cali
fornia for some time began his fighting
career in Denver about four years ago,
and prides himself on the fact thai
while he has an unbeaten record he has
never yet been knocked down in a fight
Jackson's victory over Tracy stamps
him as a much better pugilist than he
is generally accredited to be- In the
event of Jackson winning his next bat
tie out here he is to go east and try
conclusions with some of the welter
weights on the Atlantic coast.

top-weights. As Ryan was apparently an
cry at Jeffries he was inclined to accept
Corbetts invitation, and when Jim jeff
ries and his brother Jack reached town,
Ryan made no effort to meet the burly
Californian. At noon Jeffries. however,
sent his brot er to ask the Syracusan to
visit him at he Arlington hotel. When
Ryan appeared, Jeffries opened the con-
ference.
Il can't understand why you should
roast me, Tommy" said Jeffries. I've
been on the level with you, and want
me when 1 fight Corbett."
Il m not sore on you, jim" said Ryan,
but I've roasted Brady because his
promises prevented me from making en-
gagements that would have guaranteed
me at least S. co.,
They shook hands heartily and Ryan
went to Little Rock with the Jeffries.
Tommy will be with Jim when the
champion meets Corbett," said Jack Jeff
rtes.

NEW LEAGUE ORGANIZED.
It Adjourns Without Taking In Pro-
vidence or Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Feb. 3-The meeting of
the American Association of baseball
clubs came to an end Friday and the
organization may be said to be a fact.
Six cities, Boston, Baltimore, Milwau-
kee, Detroit, Chicago and st. Louis.
have signed the agreement, each fur
nishing a 81 200 bond. Providence and
Philadelphia have not yet signed, but
the former has pledged itself to fur
nish the bond as soon as the city reg
listers. Before adjourning finally the
delegates appointed a committee con-
sisting of H. D. Quin, Milwaukee; ThOS.
Mccarthy, Boston, and J, J. McGraw,
Baltimore, to remain here and arrange
the Philadelphia end of the circuit The
next meeting will be held in Chicago on
February II.
After the meeting McGraw announced
that there was ample money forthcom-
ing to support a club in this city.
The committee of three has been
given full power to select the hackers
for this city, but it is not likely that
they will have any report to make be-
fore the meeting in Chicago. The per-
sonality of the hackers under consider
alton is shrOuded in mystery at present.
McGraw stating that he had not the
authority to publish their names. Nc
Graw said he could not tell how long
the committe would remain here.
If Philadelphia, through lack of pro-
per financial lacking, shall be compelled
to remain out of the circuit 1t may
mean the abandonment of the associa-
tion idea for the coming season at least.
Some disappointment is felt among the
promoters of the organization in conse-
Quence of the failure to establish a
club in New York and Baltimore might
hold out should Philadelphia not enter
the association. Without two of the
big cities in the east the chance of
success for the new organization, it is
feared, would be remote. In talk to-
day Manager John McGraw, Of Balti-
more, said:
To me Baltimore is of more consid-
Grafton than a franchise in any league
or association. 1 am heart and soul
with the association movement and
have taken large chances for it. If ev-
erything is arranged all right here 1
shall certainly have an association
team at home. If not then I will play
with the league team there. If we do
not have either, then will stay in Bal
timore and attend to my business. How
ever, 1 have not the slightest doubt of
ultimate success here

by a certified check for 81, 500.
When asked where he intended to pull
the mill off if it was his fortune to Sc
cure the fight, Brady said that he would
announce the location of the club before
February 20. He said that it might be
in Paris. New York or Frisco, but at
present he did not feel disposed to state
positively where he intended to have
