Importance than the adoption Of a
schedule will be the proposition which
President Johnson will officially make
to the National League magnates for a
post-season series with the American
League clubs.
President Johnson says the baseball
fans the country over are demanding
games for next fall between the two
big leagues, and that the great interest
i'm the national game will be impaired to
a considerable extent If the lovers of
baseball are not given an opportunity
to see the rival leagues line up against
each other.

Personal Comment on Men and
Things in the Field of Sports

John T. Brush's New York National
League team has been sued fer 5000 by
the Norfolk club of the Southern
League. on the ground that Christy
Mathewson was taken away from IL
without the terms Of transfer being car
ried out. The facts OF the case as cited
in the bin Of complaint are as follows:
Pitcher Mathewson was under contract
to the Norfolk club i'm 1899 and 1900. The
club was a member of the Virginia
State League. and this league was n
party TO the national agreement.
In July. 1900 the Norfolk club realized
that Mathewson was too good for
minor league. and made an agreement
with the New York club. under which
they released him TO the New York club.
with the understanding that Mathewson
was 70 play the remainder Of the season
with the Giants. but his salary was to
be paid by the Norfolk club
III at the end of the season Mathew
sons work had proved such that the
New York club wanted to keep him on
for the next year. then the New York
club was TO pay the Norfolk club 5000
for his release. Msthewson was such a
success that the New York club did want
to retain his services for the following
year.
It is claimed bv the plaintiffs TO the
action that the New York club
notified the Norfolk club that it
did not want the famous pitcher. and
the very next day the Cincinnati club
drafted him and sent a check for 800
10 the Norfolk club. The day after this,
the complainant states, the Cincinnati
club traded Mathewson to the New
York club.

LANDS UPON THE FLOOR

ITHACA, Feb. 26.-Hugh Jennings. one
Of the best-known baseball players in
the country, and probably the best first
oaseman, manager of the Baltimore
club. and coach of the Cornell baseball
team. met with a serious accident in the
Cornell gymnasium yesterday.
AT the close of the daily batting prac-
dce OF the baseball men in the big net in
the Cornell gymnasium. Jennings went
TO the gymnasium bath rooms for a
shower and plunge From the shower
room he ran into the tank room and
dove into the swimming pool. without
looking. There was no water in the
tank and Jennings struck the tile floor
with terrific force He was rendered I'M
conscious by the fall
May Never Return to Game.
When ne was taken out of the tank 1t
was found that he had suffered serious
injuries about the head and face. and
hpat both his wrists and arms had been
20 sprained and injured that it is not
likely he viii be able again to play
the famous game that has made him
so well known on the diamond. Jen-
nings' physician, however. SAYS he Is un-
able as yet to state the extent of the in
1uries 1t will be several weeks at least
before Jennings viii be able TO resume
coaching the Cornell baseball men. and
in the meantime they will be seriously
handicapped by his absence.
For the past ten years Jennings has
been a notable figure in league baseball.
As shortstop he did splendid work with
the Baltimores when that team captured
the championship three years in success
sion. He also acted as manager of the
Philadelphia and played on the Brook
Ign team. Last year he managed the
Baltimore team of the Eastern League
season. For a number Of years The has
aided in developing the Cornell baseball
squad.
Has Had Many Mishaps.
Jennings has met with several mishaps
on the diamond. the most serious of
which occurred in New York about
seven years ago. He was at the bat
and famous Amos Rusie was pitching
against him. Jennings miscalculated one
of Rusies terrific inshoots. and IL caught
him squarely on the temple. He stag
fellow-players. who thought he was
badly injured In few minutes he re-
covered and pluclily insisted on resum-
ing play.
Jennings displayed his customary skill
for an inning OF two. but suddenly began
TO act queerly and talk incOherently.
His team mates rushed to mis- side and
forgot all about the game. and they
tenderly led him to a sheltered spot
ing physicians pronounced him out OF
his mind He was sent TO n hospital and
