morrow morning, leaving to a committee

The impression prevails that the limit

ueu. The American league has declared

that it would respect contracts, but

tional agreement, but would try so tar

as near as possible the number of en-
ployes for each successive year, with a
view to obtaining a record of the growth
of the various Industries.
In response to his circulars to 90
nestle servants and the employers OF
that class of help, Mr.. O,Donnen has re-
ceived a number of assurances from both

apparently not satisfied with the score
or more players already secured for next
season, the Brooklyn Baseball club is
making a STRONG 6llOTI To aOQ three uQOTe
stars to its list, men who have made
good records in the American league.
The trio consists of John Anderson, CEN
ter fielder of the Brooklyn champions of
1899, who was sold to Milwaukee with
the privilege of repurchasing; Jimmy
Casey, third baseman of the same cham
pionship team, who was loaned to De-
troit under similar conditions, and Dave
Fultz. member of the Baltimore team
of 1899
George Tredway, once a member of the
champion Baltimores, and for one season
at least the greatest throwing outfelder
who ever played the game, was caller
at Mr. Harris Office, and casually gave
out a long buried story, which shows one
of the reasons for the bitter hatred of
Andrew Freedman toward the Brooklyn
club. Tredway. it seems, was on the
gate once for Brooklyn, and Mr.. Freed
man, who was unknown to the PLAYERS,
tried to walk in. Tredway thereupon
seized Mr.. Freedman. smote him abaft
the pinnacle. and cast him into outer
darkness. Although ample apologies
were made by the Brooklyn officials,
Freedman vowed that the humiliation
was the result of a put-up job, and has
never forgiven the Brooklyn ma gnates to
this day.

THINKS IT WAS A FIGHT
MIR. THRAsHER'S REPORT on
HARTFORD ARGUMENT.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 2.-Secre-
tary S. P. Thrasher, Of the State Law
and Order league, has made a report
upon the Aforementioned prize fight
last Thanksgiving day at Hartford, at
which the league had witnesses and de-
tectfves. The secretary says that in the
preliminary bout Burke had his jaw dis
located and lost several teeth, though
an attempt had been made to conceal
the fact.
In regard to the main fight, the secre-
tary quotes copiously from witnesses and
correspondents to show its nature, which,
he says, was in the highest degree brutal,
though not more so than a number of
other fights which had previously taken
place in Connecticut. He says that if the
contest was not prize fight, then a
prize fight never took place in America.
The secretary adds that 1t was clearly IL
legal and that it opens an excellent OPP
portunity for test case in the courts,
and that at the next legislature severe
restrictive legislation should be sought
