TRUCE is DECLARED
NATIONAL LEAGUE FIGHTERS HAVE
AGREED TO MEET IN
NEW YORK
DREYFUSs WILL NOT BALK
Differences Will Not Be Settled, but
the Club Owners VIII Go
After the Gate
Money.

CHICAGO, March 25.-There is no long
er any doubt that an actual truce has
been declared between the warning fac
tions Of the National league, and that the
clubs Of that league will begin their
championship games at about the regular
time. President Hart yesterday admitted
as much, saying there would be a meeting
at New York next Tuesday, while from
Washington came the news that Presi-
dent Young was hard at work on a sched-
ule and that all Of the clubs of the league
had agreed to the meeting of next Tues
day except one-Pittsburg.
Tonight President Dreyfu3s telegraphed
mis- signature to the call for the meeting
in New York Tuesday, April l, and viii
be present in person. This decision was
reached after Mr.. Dreyfuss had received
kilograms and letters from Nick Young,
c. II. Ebbetts, John 1. Rogers and A. II.
Soden, assuring him that the call was
a unanimous one. Mr. Soden's letter
stated that he had been joined in the call
by Messrs. Brush and Robson.
President Hart, Of the Chicago club,
held a long conference with Mr.. Dreyfuss
by telephone today, the purport of which
is not made public, but everything now
points to an amicable arrangement by
which the National league intact may
start its playing season on time.
President Hart intimated that the
meeting did not Indicate that there had
been any settlement of the real differ
ences existing in the league, but would
be called in order to adopt the playing
schedule and arrange for this seasons
games. He made no attempt to prophesy,
what else would be done at the meeting.
1t is apparent the magnates have
agreed on a truce to last through the
playing season at least. 1t is believed
the affairs of the league will be run by
a committee of three men, one each from
the Freedman and Spalding factions and
Uncle Nick Young. The latter has al
ways had the confidence of the old league
magnates and is a fortunate man to
have around in the present controversy.
Another development in the baseball
situation is the fact that there are all
sorts of peaceful OYertures being made
by the old league toward the American
organization. Uncle Nick Young has
been instructed to make up his schedule
so as to avoid every conflicting date pos
Sible in those cities which have both
American and National league clubs. 1t
is thought there will not be over dozen
conflicting games in Chicago. This stu
alton will probably be followed by still
further efforts toward peace. and the be
ginning of next season will probably
ind the two leagues working under an
agreement with reference to signing and
bidding for each others players.
The assurance of peace-at least tenn
porary peace-relieves the baseball sit
uation, and now little remains but for the
clubs to begin playing ball.
Although far behind the American
league in arranging for it's seasons
games, the National is going to begin its
championship contests six days earlier,
on April H.

AMERICAN OFFICIALS HERE
Hickey Is Confident That His League
Will Have Successful Season
No Fear of Contract
Jumpers.

Thomas ]. Hickey, president of the
American baseball association, and c. S.
HaVenor, secretary and treasurer of the
Milwaukee American association team,
spent yesterday afternoon in ST. Paul,
the guest of George E. Lennon, president
of the st. Paul team.
The Milwaukee management refused to
be blufed into taking the old American
league park off the hands Of Fred Gross,
and the American association will have
band span new park in the Beer City
when the season opens. This park is
now going up under the direction of
Messrs Quin and Havenor, and Havenor
spent yesterday afternoon in st. Paul
studying an ideal baseball park.
There is no cause for alarm in our ap-
pearance at this time in st. Paul." said
President Hickey yesterday afternoon.
Il have been making what you might call
an inspection tour of the American asso-
citation circuit, and 1 am still travelling.
True, L visited st. Paul before, but
having completed my tour 1 consented to
accompany Mr.. Havenor to st. Paul He
wants to secure pointers on grandstands
and we are here to look at the st. Paul
park. st. Paul has an ideal ball park. [
told this to the Milwaukee management.
The Milwaukee men want the best they
can give the Milwaukee fans, and Hav-
cnor is here to look at the st. Paul
park. If possible Quin- and Havenor
viii erect a park even better than the
one you have here in st. Paul
There is really not thing I can tell
you about the association. We are ready
to start off the moment the bell rings
for the opening of the season, and we
will start on time.
''The contract jumpers? Why, we have
stopped worrying about the contract
Jumpers There will not be enough of
Them to interfere in the least with our
plans. / know that the agents Of the
national association of minor leagues
have been flirting with several Of our
last men, but we have too many stars
on the lists turned in by the different
clubs to worry about the agents from the
collection of small leagues"
After thorough inspection of Licking
ton park Messrs. Hickey and Havenor
boarded an Interurban car for Minneap-
ellis, to visit Walter Wilmot, president OF
the MilerS.

GRIFFITH SIGNS PIATT
WHITE SOX MANAGEMENT WILL
DROP SKOPEC.

CHICAGO, March 25.-"Wiley" Piatt
VIII be with the White Stockings again
this season. President Comiskey and
Manager Griffith yesterday decided to give
the erratic left-hander another chance
to make good this year. He will report
in Chicago on Saturday and be taken
with the bunch to Excelsior Springs.
Skopec, the other southpaw, who it has
been supposed would be given another
chance by Comiskey, has been turned
over to Little Rock. The West side
twirler, it appears, has signed a regular
contract with the Southern team, and the
local management decided not to take
him on although by a two years con-
tract signed last season Comiskey still
had claim on the boys services.
SkopecS dislike for training is the real
cause of his release, and as a result Piatt
will be depended upon TO do all the south
paw work for the South side team this
year. wiley last year proved a good
man for six innings, and he may be used
to advantage to start games, which, it
necessary, can be finished by "Grif' or
Callahan. IE his distance qualifications
Piatt is much of the same order as Car
vim, but Griffith believes that he can make
good use of both tWirlers

.PARADER IN BAD SHAPE
GREAT HORSE is SUFFERING FROM
A FATAL DISEASE

LEXINGTON, KY. March 25.-The Pa
raider, who arrived here yesterday from
New York to go into the stud, landed in
bad shape, and it was with difficulty he
was removed to Beaumont last night.
The great horse was fired in the East,
troubled him, have been in a bad condi-
ton, the sole and frog of each foot hay
ing begun to rot away. 1t is doubtful now
if he ever lives to make a stud season.
His loss will fall heavily on his mil
liOnaire owner, r. T. Wilson Jr., of New
York, as the horse is valued at fully $25,
600.
1t was a foot disease which caused the
mighty Hanover to be put to DEATH and
such affiiction is nearly always fatal to
a horse. 1t was Wilson's intention to
ultimately found a stud farm, with The
Parader as premier stallion.
