nenpOlis RumOr.

W. II. Watkins returned from the Chi
cago meeting yesterday and the happy
smiles on his face showed that he was well
pleased with the result Of the baseball set
Element. He even went into the big safe
and drew forth a bunch of contracts, and
as he called off the names Of part Of the
men who have signed to play with the In
dianapolis team next season he remarked
that he need have no fear now that they
will be secured by some other minor league
organization. He has the signatures of the
following men to contracts for 1903: w. H.
Fox, George p. Kihm, w. A. Kellum, Peter
]. OBrien, Tom Williams. of last years

I. Jones. outfelder; Charles Flick. infielder;
A. J. Hamilton, pitcher. In addition terms
have been made with other players. among
them Hogriever. whereby they will play
with Indianapolis.
Some of the men on last years team who
refused to sign contracts at salaries Of
fered them may find a little trouble in Sc
curing their figures when the time comes.
as under the new order of things players
will not be able TO demand such enormous
salaries.
Mr.. Watkins says the American Associa-
ton is well pleased with the settlement of
the d1nereDces between the association ana
the Western League. The association is now
a Glass A member of the National Associa-
ton Of Minor Leagues, which means that
the war is at end. Under the terms of
settlement of the Western League and as
ISOLATION differences the Powers compro-
mise was practically adopted. Nonconfiict-
ing dates will be arranged in Milwaukee
and Kansas City so far as reasonable.
President Hickey of the American Asso-
citation, and President Sexton, of the West
ern League, will arrange schedules for
their respective leagues, and an umpire
will be chosen to decide questions regard
ing the schedules, for the war Is to be
fought out In Milwaukee and Kansas City.
Both leagues are under 5000 bond not to
loan any players TO either the Kansas City
or Milwaukee clubs in either organization
or to exceed in salaries an average of the
other clubs in the respective leagues. This
will mean that the public will be left to
the support of the two cities.
Under the terms of settlement the Amer
lean Association agreed to respect the
Western Leagues reservation OF 1902 90 far
as it covers players who were under con-
tract and played with the Western League
last year. Only four Western League play
ers signed by association clubs this fall will
have to be returned. The American Asso-
citation also agreed to respect the contracts
Of players under contract in any organiza-
ton since the date Of the truce arranged
in New York Oct. g last. The settle
ment in no way affects the players on as
ISOLATION teams last year.
