McGRAW CONFIDENT.

BaltimOrean Says There VIII BE a
Big Surprise for National League.
Manager McGraw of Baltimore, on his
way to Hot Springs, stopped over i'm Gin
cinnat1 and was accosted by reporter.
McGraw said:
1T may be that some of the league mag
mates are under the impression that the
American League has been playing one
grand game Of fotr7fush, but wait and
see. I'll predict that there will be more
surprises along the alsague line before the
season opens than have ever been dreamed
OF. The league has not yet awakened to
what Is going ons The American Leaguers
have not been sitting idle at their desks
or dreaming. They have been up and do
ing. and the result WIN show it.
you may rest assured that I have all
my fences Well butltJ or I would not be
1ourn at Hot Springs. The American
League Is not worrying, but the National
League will when ,,it~ realizes what has
taken place. The public will find out some
oay that there areS Hlen OF brains conduct
ing the affairs ofithe1 American League.
you remember when the league held Its
circuit meeting in Cleveland year or so
ago, and when the Baltimore magnates re-
had no grounds there; well, that caused
surprise. but just wait until you see what's
coming of. 1t makes me laugh every time
l think OF 1t. Oh no, we haven't thing
up our sleeves, guess I tell you that the
American Leagues battle is as good as
won right now. Things could not possibly
look better I am not talking through my
hat, but know just where We stand. 1t
would not be wise play for me to go into
details, but time will show that had the
situation sized up right
"Is there any chance for peace between
the two leagues?" was asked.
well, IL there is peace. it must come
from the National League. The American
gees a clear road ahead and will not turn
back. II there is peace, the American
League will be on an equal footing with
the National

for spring work. I'll be there three weeks,

NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETS.
Club Owners VIII Hear Players
Grievances Today.


Grievances Today.
The politicians who generally make the
corridors Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New
York. their stamping ground were pushed
rudely to one side last night. Base ball
men from all over the country, including
club owners, players and umpires, were
there to attend the annual spring conven-
ton Of the National League. the all-pow-
erful organization which sets the pace for
professional base ball in this country. A
week ago 1t looked to some people as II
another disastrous base ball war were about
to be started, in which the American and
National leagues, American Association and
the Players Protective Association were to
be contending factors Last night base ball
affairs looked to be in much better shape,
for the club owners have not forgotten the
disaster which followed the brotherhood
rebellion, and they want no more of fight
II. they can prevent 1t.
The club owners Of the big league arrived
in the city early. although their session did
not begin until last night. Charles Zim-
mer, the president of the Players Associa-
ton, was also present to look after his or
ganiza don. The players this time know ex-
actly what they want, and one of their
number will go into the meeting and ex-
press to the magnates the reforms de-
manded. There will be no lawyers there
this time to represent the players. and the
opinion was expressed last night that the
sensible demands made by the players
would in all probability be granted. Zim-
mer took a hopeful view of the situation,
and so did the other players in the corri-
dors. The club owners also showed dis
position to go half way in their effort to
prevent another serious disruption in the
base ball world.
1t was said that the players have decided
not to make any further fight against the
reservation rule. They at first thought
that this rule should hold them for three,
and, at, the outside, five years, The farm

lINcER AND BROWN GUILTY.
nefenbach Case Ends in Victory for
State.

Chicago. June 1l.-Dr. August M.
Unger and f. Wayland Brown on trial
for conspiracy to defraud insurance
companies though the death of Marie
Dafepbach were last evening found
guilty and sentenced to the penitenti-
ary under the indeterminate act.
Frank H. Smiley, who was indicted
with Unger and Brown, pleaded guilty
and turned states evidence. 1t is like
" he will escape with slight SEN
tence.
Evidence in the case showed that
Unger. Brown, Smiley and Miss Defen-
ach entered into conspiracy by
which Smiley was to appear as the
afianced husband of the woman. She
was then to be i'll and apparently die,
leaving insurance which aggregated
$4,000. The woman in her will said
she desired her remains be cremated
and il is supposed it was the intention
to hurry her away after the supposed
death and cremate another body pro
cured from the hospital.
The woman became i'll, according to
the program, but did not rally and
died The body was at once cremated.
An inquest was held by Assistant
Coroner Weckler without jury and
Weckler returned to the coroner's of
fee a yedict that the woman died OF
natural causes. The death of the wo-
man was shrouded in mystery and
physicians on the stand differed wide
ly as TO the cause of death. The state,
however, declared that the woman
Was murdered although it could not be
posluyely proved. Il was shown that
all the insurance carried by the wo
man was assigned before her death
and mat her will was drawn up after
these assignments had been made.
The will has no effect save in clause
touching the cremation and it IS
claimed by the state that the will was
prepared only to facilitate the DISPOSE
tiog ul the body after death.
