FIRST OF WAR MOVES.
Flick Traded by Mack to Cleveland to
Dodge the Quakers.

Cleveland. O., May 10.-The coming Of
Elmer Flick to the Cleveland club
traded by Connie Mack for either Pick
ering or Jack Mccarthy, is the begin
ming of a number of trs nsfers planned
by the American league magnates to
get the players stolen from the PhiIa-
delpllia National league club out of the
reach of Col John I. Rogers and the
jurisdiction of the courts of the state
of Pennsylvania.
Lajofe, Bernhard and Fraser have
been permanently enjoined from play
ing with any other club than Rogers
and have, pursuant to the order of the
court, reported to the Phillies, but they
will undoubtedly be traded later to
other clubs in the American league.
Now that Elmer Flick has been dis
posed Of and placed beyond the perad-
venture of a similar restraining order,
except during CIeveland's series in the
Quaker city it remains for Connie
Mack to trade Monte Cross to some
other club and get him beyond the
range of the laws of Pennsylvania.
That such action will be taken is not
doubted, but the league nagnates re-
fuse to divulge their plans regarding
this trade until they have been COM
pleted. 1t is highly probable the trade
viii be made for a ShortStop of one OF
the western clubs. It was originally
intended that Harvey should be traded
to the Athletics for Flick, and the sick
ness of the Cleveland outfelder was
especially hard on President Kilfoyl.
The deal was carried through, however,
Pickering or Mccarthy being put in
HarVeyS place.

ROGERS AFrER FLICK.
Also Cross, and He Gives His Views
on st. Louis Cases.


Philadelphia, May 10-Col Rogers, of
the Philadelphia National League club,
said today that his club has had bills
n equity prepared against Flick and
Monte Cross for some days, but said
that the suits were not filed because of
negotiations between the two players
and Manager Shettsline looking to an
amicable settlement of their differ
ences.

Flick has been traded to the Cleveland
club" said Col. Rogers. IF this is true
we will retain counsel in Cleveland and
