The Saint Paul globe., 1902-03-04

the plans of the then unborn association.
The real American association contract
was ignored, and the attack tries to
make the new organization pose as the
only Uncle Toms Cabin show carrying
eight Simon Legrees.
Managers Deserve Credit
The managers of the association de-
serve credit for gathering together the
many strong players who will start off
| the season in the American, for this ST.
Louis sporting paper is not alone in
its attempt to keep the ball players away
from the Hickey league.
One George Stallings, a we'll known
globe trotter, has also announced from
| Buffalo that the American association is
to begin with a salary list that will COM
pei the magnates to either mortgage the
roofs over their grandstands, or go OUT
of business after about one week of play
StallingS declares that he knows all about
the conditions out here, as he once upon
time played in these parts. The play
ers are warned that they are killing all
their chances when they think of joining
the American, for after the Hickey league
goes bump it will be impossible to get
back into leagues belonging to the ma
t1onal association. Mr.. Stallings should
be aroused from his deep slumber.
Manager Mike Kelly returned from the
Chicago meeting this morning, and after
a conference with President Lennon start
ed to dig into the large pile of letters
waiting for him Kelly expects to be a
busy man from now on until the open
ing of the season. He will at once notify
all players on the st. Paul list to report
to him by letter for instructions regard
ing the spring training at Richmond,
Ind, and will then start a search for
several players, who, although they have
signed to contracts, are now missing.
Hurley will probably be scratched from
the Saints list Of catchers. Manager
Kelly has received a letter from this
man. In the letter Hurley announced
that he has decided not to come to ST.
Paul. He returned his advance money
at the same time. Hurley assures Kelly
that he is not sending back money hand
ed to him by some other club, but unless
he can prove that he is through with
baseball, he will go on the list of rubber
legs" and as a contract jumper will never
have another chance to play in the Amer
lean association.
President Hickey will be in st. Paul to-
morrow, coming to see President Len
non, who is a member of the associations
board Of directors.
