CONROY SETTLES WITH
THE PITTSBURG CLUB
Infielder Assigned to New York Returns
Advance Money to Dreyfuss.

PITTSBURG. Pa, April 11.-As far as
the Pittsburg club is concerned, all mat
ters pertaining to the transfer of players
to the American league have been
Strengthened out according to the require
ments of the peace pact drawn up and
signed by the two big leagues. One of the
conditions under which peace was estab-
lished was that in cases of players award
ed to club in either league after having
accepted advance money from some CLUB
in the organization. said men should not
be permitted to play until the entire sum
drawn had been returned The only
player on the Pittsburg list who was
affected by this ruling was Wild Con-
roy, who after signing with the local team
for this year, was awarded to the New
York. American league club at the peace
meeting on a prior claim to his services.
AS 'Wid'' had accepted advance money
in the sum Of 900 from President Bar
ney DreyfuSS, he could not, of course,
play with New York this year without
making good that amount, but this was
fixed up today through League President
Harry Pulliam. Harry sent to the local
headquarters this morning a check for
$1,000 received from Conroy, to be turned
over to the Pittsburg club as repayment
of the advance money given to Wild last
fall. This ends Conroy's case, and he is
now eligible to play with the club to
which he was assigned.

WINONA GOPHERS
READY FOR PLAY
Formal Opening for Club
Planned for First of
May.

WINONA, Mimi, April II. - Under
the direction of the grounds committee
OF the MeadOWBrOok Golf club the
work of removing the covering from
the greens at the links has commenced,
The greens have come through the
winter in fine shape and will be better
this year than they have ever been be-
fore.
The winter shutters have been re-
moved from the golf club house and
playing on q part of the links is now
allowed. The exceptions are some Of
the low places that were filled in last
fall over which 1t is desired to permit
the grass to get a good start The
bridges across the creek leading to the
stretches have been removed until thew
are in shape for use. Part of the south
side Of the links can, however, still be
used, and two Of the bridges are left in+
tact. 1t is expected to have the whole
course In fine shape for the formal
opening on the LIST of May, which Is
likely to be marked by O. hop or some
other social function, the details for
the event not having yet been arranged.
In the way of matches with outside
clubs negotiations will soon be opened
UP with the Minikadah club of Minne-
apolts, for a game on Memorial day in
this city. This club has come down
here on this day for several years past
and will probably be glad to do so
again this year. With the playing sea-
son opening earlier than last year tho
Winona golfers should be in better
shape for this match thap they were
last year and will likely make a better
showing. This will probably be the
first match Of the year. Later 1t Is ex@
pected series of interesting contests
with La Crosse golfers will be arrangI
ed. The La Crosse players, with the
advantage Of more experience than
they had in their first year, will un~.
doubtedly be more formidable Qppo-
nents this season.

MAY STOP FIGHT
Gov. Bliss Expected to Interfere In Nc
Coy Fight.

NEW YORK, April 11-George w.
ed word from Detroit today that the Nc
Coy-Root bout, scheduled to take place in
that city April %, may be prevented by
the authorities. Since Gov Bliss stopped
the McGoVern-Co rbett match he has not
altered his views regarding prize fights,
and those intimate with him assert that
ne VIII order the militia out should the
sher1ff at Detroit fail to do his duty.
1t can be stated on good authority that
GOV Bliss will stop the fight should the
promoters Insist on breaking the state
laws, although he refuses to discuss the
subject. He said the matter had not been
ofhclally brought before him, but that he
would act as soon as he had all the facts
IN the case.
Grant said tonight: IF Gov. Bliss is
gong to take action we may as we'll call
on the bout. The International A. @. of
