Agent of the Giants Failed to Induce
Laioie to Jump.

The base ball war has begun in earnest
and the National Leagues emissaries are
already trying to induce the players to
jump back from the American to the Ma
tional League. The New York club had an
agent in Philadelphia Thursday night after
Lajoie and some of the other Athletics
players. He was with them until early
yesterday morning, but was unable to in
duce them to jump Connie" Mack. He Of
fered all kinds of inducements and did his
best to effect the deal. even to Offering
much larger salaries.
He Is known to have contract in his
pocket calling for a three years agreement
with Lajoie. The contract calls for a
guaranteed salary Of $4,000 a year for
three years.
Lajoe refused the offer. He says he is
well satisfied with his treatment since join
ing the Athletics and Is getting good sala-
ry, consequently there is no need Of his
jumping the club.

in the pan, as the next two races went to
