McGraw intimates that St. Louis may
be taken into the American League cir
cult, if not this year, perhaps in 1902. He
adds that in the event OF a franchise be-

league intends standing pat on Baltimore,
Washington, Boston and Philadelphia. Chi

of retention, that leaves Cleveland as
the city to be dropped. McGraw says that
the project has been under consideration
for the past six weeks, and that there is
slight chance that it will be closed ere the

1t leaked out from an official source yes
terday at the New York meeting that Clark
Griffith, one Of the members of the players
committee to wait on the National League,
had been guilty of double dealing, in that
he had been endeavoring to induce Ma
tional League players to desert to the Amer

was responsible for this statement. Fur
thermore. 1t was developed that the plan
of the American League had been to in
duce four star players from each National
League club to desert and that the men
selected in Philadelphia were Lajoie, Dele
hanty. Flick and Thomas. 1t had also been
decided by the American League clubs,
according to this source of information, to
pay the captains of their mines, who are
to be stars from the National League, the
sum of $500 per annum, and to permit
them to go free at the expiration of one
year or two years, as they see fit.

Treasurer Clarke Says They Can Sign

With Fellow Magnates.
SPORTS IN GEN E r A L

One of the most sensational statements in
between President thinner of the Players
Protective Association and the National
League is the one given out by Catcher
William Clarke of the Boston club, who is
the treasurer of the players organization.
Mr.. Clarke arrived in Baltimore last night
direct from the New York meeting, and
when accosted by the representative of the
American said: :.
IF the players sign with the American;
League they will be suspended. but not es-
PEELED. and at the next meeting Of our as
ISOLATION they will be reinstated." --- -
Juding from this remark the, players have
played a very clever trick on the National
League magnates in having President Tim
mer suspend all players who sign with the
American League and In consideration
therefor being granted all their demands.
AS regards the American Association. Mr.
Clarke, who was selected to manage the
Baltimore club in that organization, said:
1T was case Of cold feet almost from
the start There were many weak spots,
but, Of course, we did not advertise the
fact. Some cities wanted to quit, and there
was nothing doing in other cities. Backers
had weak knees and then Colonel Rogers
ruined us by demanding that we play on
his park in Philadelphia The Boston back
ers would not stand for it. and threw up
both hands. OF course. we followed suit,
and so It's all off. l cannot say that I will
catch for the Boston Club. and do not wish
to discuss my base bail future. All the
players understand that the action Of Zim-
mer Is no bar to their signing with the

Affection

Exhales from children as fragrance from
flowers. The little lips are always puck
cred to give or take a kiss. In homes
where there are children, love reaches
its fairest and sweetest proportions. In
chiidiess homes the kiss Of wife and
husband grows formal, and presently is
neglected the springs Of love in the
heart become choked for want of use
and exercise Childlessness is a great
sorrow to many women. II is like a
curse from Nature, who bids all crea-
tures TO be fruitful II is not a curse
but a misfortune Often the conditions
which cause childlessness are removable.
