 The usual number of base ball rll- mors filled the air yesterday, but the only one which seemed well founded had it that President Hart had signed Dexter and had come to an under standing with Green and Hartsell. Each of the men it is said will get a huge salary for 1902. Chicago American league supporters went up in the air when they heard that Ed ward Delehanty, supposed to be a sure recruit to the ambitious organiza- tion, had denied any definite connec- tion with Johnson's outfit. Delehanty came out point blank and practically admitted that he had simply been working both ends against the middle.
