CANS.
king Is one Of the few players who
are in earnest about quitting. He can
have almost any salary he desires
from Charley Comiskey. but he wants
to stay in Oregon and develop his tim
Der tract.
The Chicago Americans star pitcher,
Ed Walsh. says he will not attach his
John Hancock" to a contract unless
the said paper calls for a salary OF
$500 for q seasons work. Walsh
says he will not twirl a ball over the
plate for the White SoI this season
unless his demands are met. But Ed
ward, king Of spit ballers," will prob
ably come into the fold shortly after
the season opens.
There is no longer any doubt about
Wagner the Pittsburgs' star shortstop,
playing ball this year. Hans has not
yet signed q contract, but he has con-
sented to play and will join the team
before the conclusion of the training
period. He has given the club his
word that he will go south before the
end of the trip and will start the sea
son with the Pirates. He does not
need great deal of training, as he has
been playing basket ball all winter and
is in better condition than most ball
players at present
Captain Gessler Of the Boston Amer
leans is among the recalcitrants who
want large increase Of salary. John
ME Taylor's outlook Is not brilliant
now that he has sold Young. traded
Criger, fred ell his old leaguers and
driven most OF his youngsters into the
rams Of the salary kickers.

Almost every other major league

Criss asked $1,000 from the St Louis

isn't stuck on continuing In baseball.
Criss is an odd kind of an athlete.
He can lam the ball for keeps. but he

to drill in for the cast. without q mo-
ment's warning there was a terrific
roar and great masses Of molten iron
spurted from the furnace, sweeping
down the workmen.
Twenty or more were caught In the
onrush. Six men are known to have
been caught by the hot iron and their
bodies burned to a crisp. Fourteen
others we're badly mutilated. Arms
and legs were burned off. and some
were showered from head to foot with

Those OF the workmen who were not
