HANS WAGNER WON'T BITE.

PITTSBU RG, March 16.-The letter
from Hans Wagner to the Pttsburs ball
club Saturday night caused the greatest
const ernation among thousands of fans
here most of whom had thought the big
fellow was but testing with the team. 1t
is understood here that on finding that
Wagner meant really to retire the Pitts
burg team offered him straight salary
of $1,000 and agreed to allow him to cut
out the spring training. When he de-
clined this bait a contract signed by the
Pttsburg club, with only the salary line
left blank. was showed to him and he was
asked to fill in the figures himself and the
club owners would pay. This he refused
also. saying there w2sn't enough money
in the world to make him play ball this
year at least.
There is intimation that there was more
than rheumatism back of Wagner's refus-
al to play ball this year. II" has always
been opposed to spring training trips and.
having always played his best ball with
Ritchey. he felt somewhat aggrieved a
year since when. after quarrel with one

for four innings he held down the Cardi-
nails without hit. He got bunch of as
sists and was right in the way of every
ball which came across the diamond
He also handled his bat effectively and
did well on the base lines. Cantillon
sent Burns in at the beginning of the
fifth and then things were different. He
started out by potting the first man up.
giving two men passes and then yielding
a triple and brace of singles all of
which netted five runs.
The Nationals got to karSer. touted as
.McCloskey best. for two runs, though
Joe Delehanty materially assisted in this
by dropping high one sent to left.
Cantillon was not greatly cast down by
the defeat and did very little conversing
with the players concerning it.
The bleacher impression was that the
visitors did not do well as they d d Sat
urday. and that there was less snap TO
their play. though there was no apparent
reason for il.
