OPPOSED TO JUMPERS
KILLILEA DOES NOT WANT CON-
TRACT BREAKERS IN AMERICAN.

MILWAUKEE,, wis, April 9-Presi-
dent Johnson of the American league was
in Milwaukee yesterday afternoon for a
long conference with H J. KiIlilea, sup
posed to be in relation to the future Of
the league in regard to contract-jumpers
1t is known that Mr.. Killilea is unalter-
ably opposed to taking players under
contract to the National league, and if
his advice is asked the president Of the
American league will undoubtedly inform
Sheckard that he must return to Brook
Ign.
Manager Duffy of the Western league
team announced this afternoon that he
had signed Outfielder 0 Brien late with
Washington and Cleveland. He has also
secured Pitcher Thomas ONeil of Johns
town, Pa, and it is reported that he has
secured Outtielder Ed. Merrell of Beloit
college for his outfield.
Treasurer Havenor of the Milwaukee
American association club is unalterably
opposed TO taking contract-jumpers into
the association. He said tonight that if
the Toronto club could show a contract
that Third Baseman Schaub had signed
previous to his acceptance to Tebeau's
terms to play in Louisville the Malwau-
kee club would refuse to play with the
Louisvilles unless Schaub was returned
to Toronto.
Magnate Hayenor claims that the
American association some time ago de-
cided not to take players under contract
to other clubs, and he is opposed to TAX
ing the bars down, although the Western
league has been ravaging the American
association in quest of players.

KELLEY STILL ON SICK LIST

RICHMOND April 9-Manager Mike
Kelley is still confined to his room by his
severe cold. but the club physician an
nounces that the big first baseman VIII
be able to get cut or training tomorrow
if a change for the worse is not encoun-
tered. Kelley is here alone in charge of
the Saints and the big fellow is anxiously
awaiting the raising of his quarantine.
The weather turned warm again today
and the players resumed the outdoor
training. Kelley was no. there, but the
men worked hard and the practice was
fast and furious while it lasted Inc
men closed their work with a sp:int
around the mile track at the driving park
The entire team with the exception Of
Kelly are in excellent condition and could
start playing winning ball if the season
opened tomorrow
This morning Gribbons. the Knoxville
pitcher, signed by Kelley two weeks ago
reached Richmond and he was in the
practice with the rest of the team today
He appears to have plenty of speed and
good control but how good he will show
when lined up against the real players
of the American is 1other proposition.
Kelley now has plenty of good pitching
talent and is not worrying about that end
of the game Gribbons will be held on
the list until he proves his real worth
and if he can make good as a winning
pitcher he will go back to st. Paul with
the Saints.
Kelley has a right to feel discoura ged
when he looks at his big list of contract
jumpers, but the big fellow is in excel
lent spirits and feels confident that he has
enough good men left to make the other
teams of the Hickey league hurry.
Everything looks good to me- he said
last night.
Just give me two more fast outfcld-
ers and l would not want a better team
for the big lea ue l expect to get the
two outfielders that need, too.
LAS for Geier I feel that he will make
good as an infielder and we will never
miss Brain. Geier was signed for the
outfield, but I never saw a better job OF
holding down the tnird bag than was
done by Geier last week at st. Louis and
more than all this the little fellow GER
tainly has a batting eye"
Tomorrow Billy Earle will play a picked
aggregation against the Saint-, and Sun
day the team will line up against the
Cincinnati Shamrocks. the champions of
the Cincinnati City league.

REFUSED TO STAND CUT
BROOKLYN ANNOUNCED A REDUC-
TION OF SALARY.

NEW YORK. April 9.-James Hughes.
the star pitcher of the Brooklyn club and
one of the best of slOw-baIl pitchers, is
the latest prominent player to desert the
National league for the American. This,
too in spite of the fact that It was an
nounced the other day that Cle league
(NationaD had 100000 to spend inducing
American league stars to jump to the
National.
Hughes, it Is said, would not stand
for a reduction Of salary by 3roollyn,
and so has signed with the Baltimores.
1t was in Baltimore that he first became
noted as pitcher.
In connection with the failure so far
Of the corruption fund" to induce any
American league players to jump it is
said instructions have been Issued by the
president of the Players Protective as
ISOLATION to the effect that players re-
spect their contracts. Re that as it may,
there are no American leaguera jumping
yet. Had such cracks as Liable and
Cross taken the bait Of greenbaci1s he@
out by the New York club it is believed
there would have been a stampede of
players; also that the action of these
players in the matter will be followed
by the others.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, April Am effort
may be made in the courts to hold the
ball players who repudiated their con-
tracts with the Kansas City Blues and
jumped to Western league clubs 1t is
known that Dale Gear, president of the
local club, has been urged to make this
a test case, and as he has been treated
very shabbily by certain men, he is in
clined to fight the matter out in the
courts
George Tebeau, formerly owner of the
Kansas City club, but now of Louis
vile, arrived here yesterday from st.
Louis for no other reason than to give
his testimony in regard to the cases.
The original contracts were signed with
him, and an injunction may be asked to
prevent the players performing the serv-
ices elsewhere, which they agreed to give
the Kansas City club now owned by Dale
Gear. A. L. Buell. and local parties.
The players In question who put their
names to Kansas City contracts and then
jumped, are Meimer and Gibson to Man
ming and Nichols team, and Hartman
and Brashear to st. Joseph
The cases will most likely be made on
the two pitchers, Weimer and Gibson
But should legal proceedings not be
necessary to hold the men in question, the
whole matter will be dropped
Weimer and Gibson have both been
working with the Nichols team, and a
friend of the players said yesterday that
they were discouraged over the outlook
with that organization, and that both
were about ready to join the Blues and
carry out their original contracts
1t is not likely that any action will
be taken in regard to the other men, as
they would be of no use to the local
team, which is already completed

BALTIMORE, Md, April 9-With Man

day wired Manager Fogel from Savannah
that he would sign with the New York
club for this season.
McGraW only let Dunn go when he

that he will be able to play third base
this season himself. Before going to Sa-
Vannah McGraw was afraid he would
have to keep out Of the game but he is
fast getting into condition and now says
he Will play his old position.
Dunn turned down New YorI's first
offer but Manager Fogel raised mis- orig
inal bid several times and made a special
visit to Baltimore in the effort to induce
the Oriole to desert.
While there was any chance that Man
ager McGraw would be unable TO play
ball Dunn said he would stick 10 the
Baltimore club, as it's utility mfie,der.
Another urgent telegram was received
from Fogel by Dunn this morning, and
Manager McGraw then told him that rs
he now believes he is all right Dunn had
