COL. ROGERS EXCITED.
Hart Cannot Play COmiskey and
American Leaders Are Robbers.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 19-When asked
today as to the arrangement between the
Chicago National and American league
teams, by which a series of games is to
be played between the two clubs for the
Championship of the city, Col. John I.
Rogers said:
81 do not believe Mr. Hart has entered
into a deal The rules of the league pro-
hibit it and a violation of them means
/, expulsion Mr. Hart, who has always up
held the league and it's laws, would never
as far as I know, break them. In fact,
am so sure of it that l would not insult
MIR. Hart by sending him a telegram of
inquiry
''At present there is no thought of our
& Coming hands in playing exhibition games
with a league which has done everything
In its power to disrupt US. There is no
Friendship between US, and it is not nat
ural that we should support the policy the
American league has pursued in making
our players jump contracts AS long as
our contracts are legal-and they are le-
gal, for the court of common pleas decid-
pided SO WIN it said we could collect dam
ed so when it said we could collect dam
tract with the Philadelphia club-we will
never recognize the American league to
the extent of playing exhibition games.
They are robbers and you can put that
In plain type"
Concerning the report that the American
league would invade New York, Colonel
Rogers said:
Mr.. Freedman has stated repeatedly
that his ground in the National league
fight is sure and, in such a position, would
hardly let Manhattan Field slip from his
grasp when the National league is paying
Its rental. AS to Freedman casting his
lot with the American league, Mr.. John

HART KNOWS NOTHING
ABOUT THE GAMES BETWEEN Or
PHANS AND WHITE SOX.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1s.-James A. Hart. the
National league hub president stated
yesterday that he knew nothing about q
series of games having been arranged
between the White Stockings and the
National leaguers. IT would like to see
the two teams play series, but the
constitutions of both leagues forbid such
a thing he said. when the time comes
that teams in the same city can play
with each other and when those cities
in two leagues which are close together
can meet then there will be trans
formation in baseball. That will be the
means of making the game better than
it is, and it seems to me that it is the
only means which is in sight just now.
81 think that such a time will come
and hope that it will come soon. 1
would like to see two teams in New York
and then would like to see them play
games each year for the championship,
and then for the worlds championship.
The playing schedule ought to be short
ened in both leagues and then inter-
league contests should be INDUCED in
both before and after the season.

Strong List of Players.
Los ANGELES. Cal Feb. 1s.-Mana-
ger Morley signed this morning George
Decker to play first base with the Los
Angeles team. From present indications
other teams will have to make show
ing against the talent wearing the South
ern uniforms TO win. Decker had received
q fattering offer from Milwaukee, but
preferred to remain here if terms were
met. After a confab with Morley an
agreement was arrived at and the big
first baseman affixed his signature to a
contract.
With Decker, Hannivan, Toman and
Reilly as infield, fast combination is
assured They are hrst-class men ana
good hitters and base runners who know
the game.
When Decker was in good shape he was
considered one Of the leading first base
men Of the National league.
This would seem to put Reitz out Of
the running. If he abstains till the season
opens he may be given chance, but
even then only under the strictest form
of contract. He would be given no money
except for living expenses until the close
of the season.
