A SHREWD MOVE.
Manager Mack Refuses to Pay Lajoie,
Fraser and Bernhard.


From the Philadelphia North American.
A new complication, which may afford
cause for reflection, occurred in relation to
the injunction proceedings against Ameri-
can League players yesterday.
When the salaries of the men under Conny
Mack were distributed yesterday, there were
three envelopes missing. Laioie, Fraser and
Bernhard were not on the list.
This fact was not advertised extensive
ly, which makes it all the more signifl-
cant. The last two players mentioned did
little growing. Lajoie had nothing to
say, and as far as an open statement Is
concerned, all three are like the Sphinx.
Manager Connie Mack consented to an
Swer few questions, from which conclu-
sions may be drawn.
Were the enjoined men your salary
list when you paid off last?" asked North
American man.
AN our employees have been paid to
date" replied Mack
Are the enjoined men considered as
your employes?"
The courts decision answers that ques-
ton," replied Mack. THE learned judges
rule that Lajoie, Fraser and Bernhard are
employees of the Philadelphia National
League Club. We are not settling the bills
OF that organization at present"
Now come the complications. If these
men are. according to the courts rulings
employed by the National League club.
there is where they must look for their
pay. If they do not give satisfaction or
decline to work, the National club may
discharge them, but until they are dis
charged they are entitled to collect their
salaries. When dismissed by their pres
ent employers they may seek employment
elsewhere
This looks like a little more Of the
shreWdness so often displayed by the
American League. The National may pay
men to stay idle for a time. but it has
never been the policy of that organization
to keep up that sort of liberality very long

MRS. DENIsoN FOR PRESIDENT.
Surprise at Women's Club Convention
Over Nominations,

The surprise Of the club women's conven-
ton at Los Angeles yesterday was the re-
port fthe nominating committee as COL
lows:
For president, Mrs. DENIES T s. Denison
of New York.
First vice president, Mrs Robert J. Bur-
dette Of California
Second vice president, Mrs. Emma Fox
of Michigan.
Recording secretary. Mrs w T. Coad of
South Dakota.
The nominating committee Of forty wo-
men, who were sworn to greater secrecy
than at any previous biennial, tried to give
out the impression this morning that the
report published was slightly wrong, but
the information, which came from three
sources, is absolutely reliable, as far as it
goes. The disappointment Of the Decker
forces was marked, as they had confidently
believed the Colorado woman would at
least head the ticket as made out by the
committee.
Mrs Decker said she was happy, and
looked 1t. and 1t Is doubted that under the
circumstances she will allow her friends to
present her name on the floor on Thursday
prominent delegate however, said this
would be DONE and probably by Massa-
chuSetts.
The placing of Mrs Burdette as first
vice president pleased a large majority Of
club women 1t is likewise the prevailing
sentiment that the promotion Of Mrs. Fox
from recording secretary to the second
vice presidency Is merited.
The nominating committee met at the wo-
mans club house and great secrecy was OBJ
served. Mrs. Barnes of Kentucky was
made permanent chairman. The first ques-
tion considered was whether there should
be but one ticket, and the committee pro-
ceeded most amicably, with one slight Incl
dent to mar the meeting.

Flick Goes to Cleveland.

Rather than take any chances of letting

1t was hard to lose such player as

Ever since the court has been handling
the base ball question Flick has been on

that the Phillies' manager fully expected
him to follow Duggleby back to his first
love.

A lot Of interest is being taken in the

championship between Frank Erne and Joe
Cans. The pair are to box twenty rounds
next Monday night at Fort Erie. Erne has
been made the favorite at 100 to 90, and a
lot Of money is being wagered on his
chances. The result of the battle will mean
considerable to the winner, for the lucky
man will get a chance of going to England
to meet Pat Daily. Erne has already signed
articles to face DAILY, but If he is whipped
Cans will be substituted. This Will be the
second meeting between the pair. In their
last essay In New York, about two years
ago, Erne was returned the winner Many
of the prominent sports favor Erne because
they think that he is in fine form just now
and that he Is too clever for the negro

and are confident that he will land the
large end Of the purse. Reports from the
