TROUBLE AMONG PIRATES.
Clarke Says He WIZ Be Bench Man
ager, but Dreyfuss Says Not.

Pittsburg. Feb. 9.-Symptoms Of
trouble in the Pittsburg team cropped
out yesterday when Barney Dreyfuss
announced that Manager Fred Clarke
would play in the outneld as before. II
has been understood. in fact given out
by Clarke himself when he signed at
5000 per year. that he would be a
practically non-playing manager, play
ing only when absolutely necessary. It
appears. however. that Dreyfuss has
other plans for Clarke. He said last
evening that Clarke would not only
manage the team. but would captain
the team as well. all the time In order
to do this il will Of course be necessary
for Clarke to be in the game all the
way
The matter was brought up last
evening by one who asked Dreyfuss
who he thought would be appointed
field captain Of the Pittsburgs.
Don't need a captain. Have one.
Ciarkes all right, amt hep said Drey-
fuss
The attention OF Barney was called
to the fact that Clarke had signed
under the condition that he was not to
play regularly.
'Ycs. and he told me that in New
York" broke in Secretary Locke. who
does most Of the talking for the Pitts
burg ball club.
Wei. he didn't tell me that; I'm the
man he ought TO tell, and there's moth
ing in his contract 70 prevent him from
playing every game" snapped Drey-
fuss.
