The Pittsburger Tips OF tn
Hand Of National League.
STARS MUST LINE UP.
Says Garvin VIII Not Desert to
American League.
Will Report For Duty When
Freedman Asks Him.

Chicago, Feb. S-Barney Dreyfuse,
head OF the Pittsburg bali club. has an
nounced just what the policy Of the
National league viii be, 50 far as the
BALL players are concerned This, OF
course is very premature on Barney s
part-very much too soon for the ideas
pf the other magnates- Their intention
was to keep everything quiet from
Hress and public and deal with the play
ars as best they could. and now comes
Barney and let's the whole cat out Of
the bag.
Barney says that the league clubs viii
send notices to all the players. ordering
them to report at the training grounds
between March Is and April L If they
do not report by April i, says Barney,
All bets Will be declared OF, the players
win be told to go chase themselves, ana
those who do not show up for duty VIII
be barred out for keeps. their places
being taken by young players.
So speaks Barney, and 10 is ND to
Brush, Soden, ct al to jump on him
for giving away "a trade secret DreyfdSs'
reason for such frankness. no doubt, is
che fact that he Is due to be bounced
out of the Pittsburg club with a loud,
resounding thump-
OF course this stand Of the league is
subject to certain notifications The
players demands viii be taken up at
the coming league meeting.and an effort
will be made to conciliate them and
please the public But. If the stars do
not get back in line the ultimatum viii
be delivered March 10. and woe to him
who dares to dis0bey,
The whole procedure OF course, Is
simply in line with the calm declaration
of the magnates we have the money
the players have none Therefore what
we say goes We viii take of a few irlS-
some conditions. just to tickle the
crowds, but the players must do just as
we say, or well throw them out of
work And, of course. we viii not need
TO throw many people out Of work
why should we? The boys will all sign.
and at our figures We Will not reduce
ealaries-nOt this year-because we will
cnt down our teams and save a lot of
money. But the players must all fall in
line. and that's all there is to the sit
nation
The talk about Garvin deserting to
the American league is all jabberOsity-
Garvin could not get over $1,000 in the
American Freedman is going to give
him $500 anyway, and Virgil, the long,
will take no chances on the smaller
money. Garvin will report for duty
when Freedman tells him to, and no
doubt about it.
