Garry Out Promises.

Some OF the players OF the New York
National League Club are said TO be on
the warpath They insist that they
have been badly treated by the man
aEement. The only one who has Oeen
quoted IN public Is McGinnity. the
pitcher he says the players were made
certain promises by the officers Of the
club which have not been fulfilled.
According 70 his version. John T. Brush
announced at the beginning Of the sea-
son that he would give the members Of
the team q present II they finished first.
second or third in the race. In addition
to that he told the players that they
would be permitted to have the receipts
Of all the exhibition games after the
league season ended.
McGinnity declares that the members
have not received presents. and that
the sum which each man got for the
exhibition games did not yield much
profit. He also says that he has an Of
fer TO go TO the California League next
year and that If Mr. Brush does not
meet the terms that he is to receive In
California he will go there in preference
to playing with the Giants. The Call
fornia League is an outlaw organization
and plays men from any source 1t can
obtain them.
According to McGinnity. there are
other players on the team who have a
grievance and who have announced
their intention Of going to the Coast II

in New York does not give them some
kind of a present Among them Nc
Ginnity includes Bresnahan.
Baseball men IN New York who heard
Of the remarks attributed 20 McGinnity
and who have had experience with pro
fessional players declared that il was
nothing more nor less than a hold
up" TO get big salaries for the coming
season.
One man. who has had charge of baseball
teams. said that If McGinnity had been
correctly quoted IL was simply because
he fears that the national agreement
into which both leagues have entered
viii result IN a reduction of salaries
another year. and he is trying to pave
his way for a continuance of the high
rates prevailing in the past
