Talk of Getting Up Big Three
C01nered Race Between Him,
Shrub and Ljunstrom.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE easy VIC
tory of the Canadian crack, Fred
Meadows, in the fifteen-mile race at

the main topic OF conversation in
sporting circles to-day. and 1t Is ex-
pected that a race at the, full Mara

few days in which the Guelph crack
can meet the twenty-six milers. Judg-
ing from his performance last night
he Is in q class by himself at the If
teen mile distance with Shrubb not
running. and he was running SO we'll
within himself that ii seemed he could
have run the full Marathon distance
last night and equaled the profess
sionai record for the distance.
There is talk to-day of matching
Meadows and Alfred Shrubb, the Eng
lish fifteen miller. who was unable TO
take part in last nights race because
of bad legs The proposition that is
likely to go through 10 to match Mea-
dows. Shrubb and Gustav Ljunstrom,
the Swede who finished second lap
and a quarter behind Meadows last
night for a three-cornered match.
Such a race would attract an enor-
nous crowd.

that opposition TO organized baseball
/ Is = thing OF the past
Club owners In the Virginia League
would like to find some way to cir
cumvent the ultimatnm that was Is
sued by President Wells recently in
the form of resolutions liking the PEN
atty for a violation OF the salary limit
adopted at the meeting OF the league
held December 7. This salary limit
was adopted for the reason that some
clubs are able to employ higher sala-
ried players than are other teams In
the league. thus eliminating the
chances for close pennant race and
causing a lack OF interest around the
circuit to the financial loss or the
league.
that some club owners would, Ii al
lowed, employ expensive players.
How can they do this without yio-
lating the rule and mourning the Sc
we're penalties that President Wells
has stipulated? The owners look with
envy upon the major leagues, upon
whom no salary limit Is imposed. The
recent offer of President Charlie MUIR
ply, of the Cubs, to pay one of his
pitchers a bonus of $500 II he would
win thirty games this season and the
mond. of the Giants. II he will ride
the water wagon all the season. thus
insuring high class of twirling, are
instances of what can be accomplished
by the power of offering a bonus here
and there.
A suggestion made by a Cincinnati
fan with the purpose of squirting the
Reds to greater efforts in their fight
for the pennant may be. worthy of
adoption by owners in the Virginia
League. and unless President Wells
foFmulates further rules and regula-
lions, they may be free from the penn
atttes for the vibrations OF rufes al
ready fixed. The Cincinnati fan sug-
gets that the Reds be given $4,000
II they win the pennant this season.
His idea IL to have the reward painted
in huge red figures on the fence at
the ball park, so that every player
can see 1t every minute he is on the
field.
II is not to be supposed that such
a large sum could be offered in this
league, but IL similar plan were to
come to light. President Wells may be
expected to rule that 1t is in violation
of the regulation fixing the monthly
salary limit at st.T00 for the entire
team, with the exception ~ player
manager. or, II this did not effectually
cover the matter, he would exercise
the right he has reserved of adopting
further rules and regulations neces-
sary for carrying out the sense of the
resolutions.

The Casc OF Killing.

There was considerable discussion
anent the case of Catcher Johnny
Killing. This, of course, is not a case
for the league to decide, but Chair
man Hermann, of the national COM
mission. which body will consider the
matter, said:
There Is no reason that l can think
Of now why Catcher King cannot be
reinstated. OF course, this matter
will have to be settled when the
national commission meets"
On top of Herrmann's statement
came the report that King has sent
to the national commission a. state
ment to the effect that IL they do
not allow him to play ball for four
years he will bring action in the
civil courts for $4,000 against the
members of the commission.
