To Cut Down Salaries.

The reign OF the high-salaried baseball
player is limited TO the termination Of
the present contract under which he is
working. according to a statement made
by Pittsburg baseball official This is
as sure as the two major leagues are
working in harmony. Not only does tho
trend Of baseball affairs affirm this
statement, but it was indirectly ac-
knowledged by an official of National
League club. Upon further inquiry II
was learned that a salary Limit was not
the only scheme contemplated by the
American and National Leagues at the
conclusion Of the present playing sea-
son.
Reliable information was received from
a person connected with baseball that a
salary limit would go into effect upon
the signing Of all men TO contracts for
1904 and thereafter. President Potter.
OF the Philadelphia club President
Dreyfuss, Of the Pittsburg club. and Of
fcials Of beth clubs were solicited to
deny or affirm the allegation respecting
a salary limit, but all professed ignor-
ance Of any such proposition on the part
of the National League.
Despite these assertions, the official OF
ono OF the clubs admitted that a ma
tional agreement on the lines Of the
compact that existed between the old
American Association and the National
League would be made by the two big
organizations before another playing
season rolled around. This was tanta-
mount 10 a declaration that a salary
limit would be one Of the parts Of such

WEIDENFELD CASE ARGUED.
Hearing on the Brokers' Argument for
Reinstatement on the Exchange.

Reinstatement on the Exchange.
The application of Camille Weidenfeld
for mandamus to compel the governors
OF the Stock Exchange to reinstate him
was argued yesterday before Supreme
Court Justice Davis, who reserved de-
cision after nstructing both sides to submit
briefs next week.
Herbert r. Limburger. who appeared
for Weidenfeld. told Justice Davis in a long
argument that Weidenfeld's trial had been
unfair. the charges against him unfounded
and his suspension unwarranted.
Lewis Cass Ledyard for the Stock Ex.
change replied to Mr.. Limburger and
told Justice Davis that Weidenfeld had
only himself TO blame for his suspension
Mr.. Ledyard said that the Court had no
jurisdiction to grant mandamus against
an unincorporated body such as the Stock
Exchange. Weidenfeld had been dealt
etitution Of the Exchange and he must abide
by it's decision.
MIR. Ledyard went on to say that weiden-
field had been the Power behind the throne)
in the Peter Power litigation and that he
himself had sought vindication from news
paper criticism at the hands Of the Exchange.
The judiciary and disciplinary powers of
the Exchange We're put in motion at his

blame
