Columbus, O.. April 1.-THE sensa-
ton in American association circles is
the strife that has sprung up between
the Toledo club and the Cleveland
American leaguers over O'Hara. While
all the other clubs have been steadily
grinding away, delighting the fans Of
their respective towns by their con-
sistent Improvement, Toledo has been
enlivened by an incipient war. The
award of O'Hara to that club has
aroused the Cleveland American league
outfit and President Kilfoyl has
chosen to resist the decision of the Ma
tiOnal commission.
Kilfoyl wants another trial, and To-
Iedo is perfectly willing to let him
have his way, for the A. A. leaders of
the fight for the outfelder feel that
their evidencerwiu win every time. But
Toledo needs O'Hara, and will not lis
ten to any sale or trade proposition.
The player will just complete Herman
Longs lineup.
