HERE'S NEW SCHEME
TO PLEASE TEAMS
May Be Winter Advertising,
But Electric Score Board
Looks Promising.

CHICAGO. Feb. I2-Electric score
boards are likely 10 figure IN the Ameri-
can League pennant race next year
L is also the intention of President
Johnson to boost the umpires TO a high
er plane in civilization. In fact. they
threaten 30 become near magnates.
The score board idea will be an innova-
ton and IS calculated to take the place
of the windmill motion proposed for the
umpires
President Johnson announced today
that he would call in one umpire and
that he would suggest to Pulliam 10 add
another 10 JOIN with the rules commit
tee on February "a in New York. in or
der TO get all that was coming out OF
the rules He believes that the presence
Of the Umpgres Will be valuable as they
are likely 10 be thought OF by the mem
berS Of the committee Thomas Con
molly will be JOhnson's choice on the
committee
The score board idea results from the
protest OF Hank O'Day and other
Knights of the Indicator on the making
OF themselves human wiudmills trying
10 interpret balls and strikes to the fans
in the bleaCherS. 1t has been proposed
to have the umpire raise his arms for
strikes and balls as was done in the
worlds baseball series Now the new
tangled score board is expected 10 take

REASON S. S. LEAGUE
DROPPED BASEBALL
Mt. Pleasant Grounds viii

tinue in Other Sports.

James F West one Of the directo rs
Of the Sunday School Athletic Associa-
ton, explained this morning the real
reason for the dropping of baseball by
the association for this year.
Mr.. West said the impelling motive
Tor abandoning the national game was
the fact that the league grounds. in
Ait Pleasant will be cut up into
building lots this spring. and there
does not seem any immediate prospect
OF obtaining another suitable park
Continuing, Mr.. West said.
we wish II distinctly understood that
the league was in no way affected by
dissensions and that we We're forced
to drop baseball for the coming season
by events over which we had no con
troll. We have by no means decided to
get out of the game entirely, but will
probably be in the field with mines in
1905
Nor has the Sunday School Associa-
ton quit athletics because circumstances
nave temporarily suppressed its base
ball activities. The association is still
very much alive. will maintain its or
ganiZatiOn, ana hopes TO be an import
ant factor in other lines Of sport We
may form a basketball league and NAV
also go in for fieiu and track athletics
You remember. we held a field and
track meet last year and were much

by New York Club.

NEW YORK, Feb. l3.-Friends OF
Mike Donlin were rather surprised 70
hear yesterday that the Giants star
center fielder had threatened to quit
the New York team II he did not re
ceive the raise in salary for which he
has been clamoTing
While everybody agreed that DCnlin
was the most popular player at the polo
grounds, IL was pointed out that II the
club refused to give him the raise that
he would not be treated altogether un-
justly
Last season DOnlin. despite the fact
that he was crippled, was carried along
by the team all season at full pay. and
this season he will only be placed in
the center garden on trial. The club
has no knowledge Of whether ne is go
ing to make good OF not. and cOnse-
quently would deem IL a poor PROPOSE
ton TO give him more money. Friends
of Donlin say that he was III advised in
threatening TO quit and that he will
without doubt be on hand at Los An
geles when training starts. II would
mean Donlin's last chance in baseball if
he quit the Giants. as he has threat

YEAGER CASE UNSETTLED
He Might Come Here, But Negotiations
Have Not Been Renewed-Sunday
School League Did Good
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Happy is the manager of a baseball
team which boasts no bright particular
stars lie is not likely 10 be bothered
by his henchmen holding out and re-
fusing to sign for the next season. They
are more inclined to solicitously in
quire whether they will be allowed to
play with the team.
Joe Canthlon is in this position. There
is hardly any doubt but what every man
who played with Washington last year
viii be on hand this season when the
bell rings. Some of the boys are acting
a little cOyly just to let tie manager
and public know that they are alive
and know how to write letters, but none
of them. as far as can be learned. has
any real kick or one that will delay
the completion of the payroll.
Stahl Only Problem.
Tom Hughes was the only man who
might have been expected TO cause
trouble. as he had a crouch left over
from last season, but he was one OF
the first to put his name to contract
Cantillon writes President Noyes that
these before-practice details are going
of so smoothly that there is really
little excuse for writing at all His
main trial now is to find out what Stahl
is going 10 do, or, rather, what he is
going 10 do with StahI- Il seems al
most certain that Stahl viii not play
here next season. and il is now up to
Cantillon TO find q first baseman.
A. local baseball headquarters no re-
lance is placed in the reports that Joe
NeageT. or the New York Americans, Is
almost sure to play with Washington
the coming season. That plot is no
thicker now, according to President
NOyes. than ii was last summer. Clarke
Griffith, the New York manager is still
holding of and refusing 10 grant a
waiver on Doc Hillebrand, the old col
lege pitcher. whom Washington has un-
der reserve, and would sell 20 Pittsburg-
Griffith said he would try 70 persuade
Hillebrand 10 play i'm New York, and.
If he succeeds, GeaEer may come TO
Washington. but HuIebrand has not
given any indication that ne would be
any more willing TO play with Crit
nth than in. the Capital. In fact. he
assured Stdhl in the winter Of 1875
that If he did start on a major league
career he would as lief he with Wash
ington as with any other team in either
