PRESIDENT soDEN's VIEW.
He Thinks That Freedman VIII
Come to Terms

BOSTON, March 16.-President Soden OF
the Boston Baseball Club, says that 1t is
true that Andrew Freedman has not put
his name to the agreement signed by the
seven other magnates who have decided
to pay sum of money to the four clubs
retiring from the National League. He
thinks that the trouble with Freedman is
that he has been asked more money for
some OF the players he wanted than he
believes they are worth. but that tie com
plant is only temporary, and that matters
will be fixed up SO that the team Will be
able to make a respectable showing during
the season. The Boston man further says

Freedman's Refusal to Sign Antici-
pated and Provided For.


In answer to many enquiries by inter-
ested fans as to the status of affairs in
case Mr.. Freedman persistently refuses to
sign the agreement for a reduction of
the League membership. it scan be stated
that just such an emcrgrncy-was provided
for The arrangement in brief is that the
other seven clubs will prorate and pay the
NeT York clubs assessment. Thus it can
be seen that Mr.. FreedmaR's refusal to
sign will not in any way obstruet the
organization of the eight-club league.
J. Earl Wagner says that the formation
of two eight club leagues Is not only nee
essary as a means Of protecting valuable
franchises, but will prove wise in the end.
as a financial feature. Mr.. Wagner has
been advocating two eight-club leagues
for two years, and as il is one of his pet
schemes he is not only confident but en-
thusiastic as to the outlook, and says that
he can in a few days have his fences in
perfect order for a vigorous campaign.
and that managers in other cities are
equally as well fixed and anxious 10 get
into the game. Today Will bring forth
some definite conclusions regarding mat
tiers.

from Frank De Haas Robson to Col. John
l. Rogers with reference to the Slagle
matter and Colonel Rogers spirited reply:
John l. Rogers and A. J. Reach. Philadelphia

York Club should receive the services Of Fielder

chase his release at the same price the Phila-

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas N. Page, residing
on Cherry street, appeared before Justice
Clevenger, on Thursday, and stated their
desire to enter into an agreement of separ-
alton as husband and wife They have
lived together for over fifty years. OF
late their has been domestic infelicity,
caused chiefly by Mr.. Pages objection to
having their daughter, Mrs Annie Dea-
con, visit his home. Mrs Deacon was in
the habit of calling on her mother and adj
ministering to the latter's wants. Mr..
Page objected in fowery language, and
on one occasion, Mrs. Deacon alleges, he
thrust her from the house in rough man
ner.
In order to have his own way in the
matter Mr.. Page concluded it would be
best to separate, and then Annie could
see her mother without interference. A
proposition to this effect was accepted.
Mr.. Page entered into bond to pay his
wife So per week. If by any reason her
circumstances demanded more, he init
mated that he might give her private
donation. Justice Clevenger was accept
ed to act as trustee.
Realizing that their domestic relations
were to be made public, both sides of the
story were given. limitations were made
concerning the relations existing between
the father and his domestic, and to retail
late Mr.. Page alleges that some member
of the family has forged his name to {
note for $500, which has been placed il

because his money cannot be touched.
