TANGLE OVER A PLAYER.
Presidents Brush and Hart Fighting
for Fielder HartseI.

If President Watkins. of the indianapolis
club, really knows where "Topsy'' Hartsel.
of last seasons Hoosiers. will play the
coming season he is not imparting his
knowledge to any one. He claims to be
in the dark as to the final outcome of the
struggle now on between Chicago and Gin
cinnati for the little outfelder. Yesterday
he said he would be at ease If he knew
how the thing would be settled.
Hartsel is claimed by Chicago on the
ground that President Hart had an agree
ment with the American League to nave
first choice of two players for his National
League team in payment for his agree
ment TO allow an American League club to
play in Chicago. while President Brush. of
Cincinnati. claims he had a prior agree
ment with President Watkins for first
choice of the Indianapolis team. Hart and
Brush both want Hartsel. Now President
Hart gives out the statement that Chicago
will no doubt be given fifth place in the
finish of the National League season and
also awarded Hartsel. st. Louis and Chi
cago finished a tie for fifth place, but Pres
ident Hart says the Orphans will be award
ed the leadership of the second division
when the national board of arbitration gets
hold of the seasons affairs. This opinion
IL based on the belief that the board will
award Hartsel to the Chicago club, in
which case the protest against his playing
with the Cincinnati club the last fort
night of the season Will be pushed, and
Mr.. Hart asserts the games won by the
Reds with Hertsel in the outfeld will be
thrown out. Hartsei played in eight games
against Chicago. and Cincinnati won four
OF them. He also played in four games
against st. Louis. and the Reds won only
one OF them. This would deduct four
games from Chicago's lost column, and
one from st. Louiss. This would place
Chicago In fifth place. IL the national
board should throw out all games in which
Hartsel participated. whether won or lost
by Cincinnati. Chicago would still have the
better OF II. as St Louis would lose three
victories by the change.
