STONE REFUSES TO SIGN.

Griffith is not the only American
with his players. George Stone, who
led the American League in batting last
year, has refused to go South with the
st. Louis Browns. 1t is said that Stone
wants a contract for $1,000 and that
Owner Hedges has offered him a tri1e
less than $4,000. Stone thinks that his
services are indispensable and that If
he holds out long enough the club will
be forced to come to terms with him.
Freddy Parent of the Boston Americans
is also outside the fold, demanding a
three year contract for $4,000 each sea-
son. With Jim Jordan of the Brook

Nationals and Pitcher Joss of the

it may be said that the managers of
these teams are not able to sleep peace
fully in their beds. But, as in other
similar cases, all of these recalcitrant
tossers of the leather sphere will event.
ually fall into line There are no out
law leagues in existence now that can
offer them lucrative positions, SO that
unless they surrender they will have
to remain idle. Few ball players can
afford to refuse a salary of $4,000 or
$4,000 for six months work, and the
magnates know this better than any
body.

Tommy Ryan, because of his recent
fake with Hugo Kelly. has been barred
from all future contests at the clubs in
Rochester. But Ryan probably does not
care straw about this as he and Kelly
got bunch of easy money. Still the
fact that Ryan is inclined to hand the

Nevada to hang up purse for a sup

President Charles w. Murphy of the
Cubs admitted yesterday that Pitcher
Edward NJ Reulbach had asked the
national commission for his uncondi-
tionaI release from Chicago, but added
there was no chance Of the star twirl-
er winning out.
"Reulbach signed a three year con-
tract with Chicago March IA, 1906"
said Murphy. This contract was APP
proved and promulgated by President
H. Pulliam, and as far as the National
league is concerned Reulbach belongs
to the Chicago club for the seasons of
1907 and 1908.
1T is true he has petitioned the ma
tional commission for his uncondition-
al release on the grounds that / did
not send him a contract before the
first of March. The national agree
ment provides that if a player does
not receive a contract before March
he is released from the reserve list
| of the club.
Il did not send a contract to Reul-
bach this year because he had al
ready signed for the season and there
was no need of Offering him one. The
rule only applies to players who have
not signed. Reulbach has no case, as
I have his contract for three years and
that settles the question.

College basket ball being game
that has come to stay. it is only the
part of graciousness to take the game
at the valuation that has been put up
on it by most college men and admit
that there are reasons for its popular
ity. Only a while ago it was very
much the fashion to sheer at the
game and say that it was girls
game and the like. A short view of
a fast game of basket ball is enough
to convince any one that, whatever
else it may be. it is not girls game
when college men play it.
