CLARKIN AFTER
 HIS ANCIENT FOE

By way of preparation to rap back at his avowed arch enemy, James H V Rourke, James H Clarkin. owner oi Ihe Hartford baseball club of tho connecticut league. has been studying constitutions, especially that which governs the Connecticut league direc-
 tors The net result of thIs research according to the Hartford owner is that the salary of $500 voted for Sec retary James H. O'Rourke is uncon- sututional- In the inmost receSses of a
 little book that is used to guide the
 Inasnates in their deliberations. he
 found the following: The secretary
 and treasurer of the league shall re-
 ceive no compensation"
 At the coming meeting of the direc-
 tors. he will bring up this point 'un-
 vote will have to be rescinded. If
 that salary Is voted to the secretary
 the constitution will have to be amended"
 Last November MT. Clarkin tried to get measure through which would change the division of gate receipts on the home grounds. from an even split of 50 and 40 per cent. Secretary O Rourke put stop to the legisla- ton by informing the magnates that 1t could not be passed until the con- stitution was changed Since that memorable occasion. Clarkin has been studying constitutions. particularly that which governs the Connecticut league.
 Owner. Cameron of New Haven. who like O'Rourke. believes in a square deai to the weaker and smaller clubs of the league when asked how he would vote, if the matter was brought up to rescind the action relative to the paying for the services of the secre- tary said:
 T do not hardly think Mir Clarkin will ask to have the vote rescinded that gives Secretary O'Rourke $500 n 1.-a l.. sn- salary and has worked hard for the league. It is a personal fight between O'Rourke and AClarkin. ClarlSin Is sore at O'Rourke. and has been ever since the Luyster matter. and 1t looks to me as If he were simply trying to get ev- en with O'Rourke. I have not given the matter much attention. but If it comes up for a vote I will no doubt vote to give the secretary the salary I do predict there will be a fight at the meeting. taking every thing into consideration. and 1t may develop into a pretty warm session all around before 1t adjourns-"-
 It looks as if the Luyster deal will keep Clarkin and the local manager It odds as long as they are mixed up m state league baseball matters. al- though most of the directors side in with Manager Jim. and say he act | d just right in the matter.
 Manager ORourke laughs when the natter is brought to his attention. at Clarkin.
