CINCINNATI December 31.--That the

fication was established here yesterday
when President August Hermann Of the

lively that the major leagues would go to
war with the malcontents rather than
grant them permission to withdraw from

to grant them any additional drafting
privileges.
II fully agree with Ban Johnson. who
says that Inc major leagues will not

BUGS RAYMOND TAKES
NEW YEAR PLEDGE
McGraw's Erratic Pitcher in
for Treatment for
Liquor Habit.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch To The Star.
NEW YORK, December 31.-John J.
McGraw, manager of the Giants re-
ceived couple of belated Christmas
boxes yesterday. One was the signed
contract of Catcher George Schlei. The
other was formal notice from Pitcher
Bugs Raymond of his first serious
New Year resolution. Most notices from
erratic Arthur would appeal as fools day
jests. Not so this one, in the mind OF
McGraw. Raymond has promised to take
the gold cure for his own benefit and
the benefit of the club. He will leave
Chicago next Monday for sanitarium
at Dwight, Ill. There he will remain until
time to report to the team in Marlin
Springs.
The reformation of Ra. lIond has long
been a serious problem - McGraw. No
big league manager wouli have stuck to
a player as he has to Bugs" during the
past two years. He was obliged to sus-
pend the faithless pitcher last midseason.
But he never gave up hope that he could
eventually talk sense in the fellow before
it was too late. When ne was in Chi
cago a few weeks ago the manager of the
Giants made it point to see his mis-
guided twirler for one last interview. He
won a promise from Raymond to submit
to treatment for the cure of the alcohol
habit. McCiraw made all arrangements
for the player to take the cure at the
clubs expense. A companion, or keeper.
has been retained to see that he goes to
the institution in Dwight, and also see
that he remains there for the full course.
If Raymond survives the holiday fes-
tivities and the treatment fultlls its
claims McGraw will have saved to base
ball one of the greatest pitchers of his
tory.
But for drink Raymond would today be
equal to any other major league per-
former. Despite the evil he went on for
several years winning the great ma jority
of his games even with the lowly Car
dinals. His work the past two years with
