SAYS CHASE MUST YIELD.
Owner of Highlanders Declares So, 500
Year Is All He Will Pay.

New York, March 13.-When asked
whether the New York American
league club would make any further
concession to First Baseman Hal Chase,
Owner Frank J. Farrell replied, with
much emphasis:
Chase has our terms. He can ac-
cept them or reject them just as he
sees fit. We have offered him $1,000
more than he received last season, or
$500. We understood when we sent a
contract for that amount to him a cou-
pie Of weeks ago that he wanted $4,000,
but now it seems that he believes he is
worth considerably more than that, AS
a matter of business policy and neces-
sary discipline we cannot afford to
allow Chase or any other player to hold
US up in this manner, even If we are
compelled to go without his services.
The club has always paid liberal SAL
aries and it has been our policy not to
cut the men down in any circum-
stances If they have not made good
we have released or traded them, but
no player has ever been asked to work
for US at reduced rates. do not be-
lieve there is any player in the profess
sion who is worth more than $500 for
six months work. although we have
been compelled to pay more than this
amount to several men who came here
in the first place with long-term con-
tracts. Chase is a fine ball player, but
there are others. He can have SO, 500
for his services, but not dollar more.

COOLEY SIGNS THREE.
Topeka Manager secures Good Players
From ST. Paul.


Dick Cooley. the manager of the To-
peka Western league . team, returned
home last night from short trip to
Kansas City and st. Joseph. While
IN St. Joseph. Cooley met President
league, and is now thoroughly con-
WINGED that Topeka is no longer in the
western association. Cooley says the
present indications point to a good
team for ST. Joe this season as nearly
all the players are signed up for the
team and manager has accepted
terms. However, the name of the
manager is not to be made public for
a few days at least.
While in Kansas City yesterday
Cooley met Manager Ashenback of the
St Paul team of the American asso-
citation and closed a deal with him for
three of ST. Paurs players. He has
and catcher by the name of Kelsey.
Dish, one of the new pitchers, for
merly belonged to the Detroit team in
the American league. While still the
property of Detroit he was loaned to
the Evansville team in the Central
league where he made "a great record.
He was the one good pitcher on the
team and kept the Evansville team
was not pitching he would be placed
in the outfield where his hitting would
break up games many times. Moore
and Kelsey are former Texas leaguers,
ana were bought from IeXaS teams
last season. Moore is counted as a
conner as he is big and has all kinds
of smoke and curves. He is also a
good hitter. Kelsey is a good back
stop and is considered one of the best
men in the Texas league last summer.
Shortly after Cooley had closed the
offer for these players. the st. Paul
team was offered much higher price
by another manager.
President O'Neill will be in Topeka
1h IN
ground and make necessary arrange
ments for the opening of the season.
"Ducky" Holmes, manager of the Lin
coin team, is in Topeka today and 1t
is not unlikely that Cooley will make
some kind of a deal with the manager
for a couple of players.

Terry Turner Turns Down Three
Year Proposition.

Cleveland, o., March 13.-It has
been learned that Terry Turner, short
stop of the Cleveland baseball team.
refused the offer of President Kilfoyl
of a three year contract at $4,000 for
that period. Turner held out until
yesterday, signing a contract for $S,-
500 for the season. Turner came to
Cleveland from Columbus for $4,000 a
year.
In 1905 Terry was i'll much of the
time, and in the spring of 1906 he
found his salary cut to $4,000. He
never said anything, and bided his
time. He played great ball in 1906,
and made up his mind to get the mon
ey this year. When Kilfoyl offered
him $4,000 he rebelled. and when the
$4,000 proposition came he rejected
it. The cotton top" demanded $4,000
but finally agreed to $500.
