TROUBLE FOR HANLoN.
Players Holding Out for Big
Salaries.

A special from st. Louis says that Man
ager Hanlon of the Brooklyns started out,
to sign his men for 1903, and got the mar
BILE heart. Now he is trying to figure out
whether some of his stars have jumped or
have formed a combine to hold up the club.
The situation looks pretty bad for Han
lon, as all the other league clubs are an
nouncing the signing of players and seem
to be we'll fixed, while Brooklyn has not yet
got a player under cover, and Is not likely
to, from the present outlook. Hanlon
tackled Frank kitson, Bill Donovan and
Hughey Ahearn and got no satisfaction.
Kitson and Donovan informed the Brook
lyn manager that they We're in no hurry to
talk business and laughed when Foxy
Ned spoke of contracts and salaries When
he mentioned the fact that they were all
under two-year contracts to Brooklyn they
gave him the smiling face, wanted to know
what the Philadelphia judge meant when
he said base ball contracts were no good.
Ahearn stood Hanlon off with the don't
know gag. and, when cornered, said he was
not sure what he intended doing. Asked
if he was going TO play ball next year,
Hughey said he didn't know. Then Hanlon
wanted him to name a price, but the young
man from Troy said he couldn't give any.
Hanlon scouts the idea that there is a
combine among his players, but he cannot
explain their attitude.
I'll know how they stand before the
week is out" he said. They're not going
to put me in hole the way they did last
winter. If the American League has got
to any of them 1 want to know, because
want to be in a position to repair my
fences. Every man ought to have his price,
and this beating around the bush amt busi-
ness. If they think they ought to have
more money let them say so, but they re
not going to leave me high and dry. New
York is getting a strong team together, and
we've got to keep up with them, so 1 want
to get all my men signed
Hanlon says he thinks Keeler, Dahien
and Sheckard would be all right, although
he has not approached them yet.

The Marines journeyed over to the st.

with the team representing that institution
and were quickly accommodated. as they
were defeated by the score of 16 to 10.
This makes the fourth journey of the Ma

team batted timely and fielded fairly well,
