bill to break the so called baseball
trust and put an end to a form OF
slavery. he remarked in his quiet way.
That's q joke The "OId Roman.
as he is called. was not far wrong.
1t may be true that in rare cases the
buying and selling of players nay
work hardship, but in the long run
the players themselves are reaping the
benefit and are far better off under
organized baseball than would be the
case IL every man was free agent.
There are two sides to every ques-
ton. but one thing is sure-the players
today are better of than they We're
ten years ago. and. while 1t is true that
man is worthy Of his hire. 1T Is also
true that. all things considered. the
men are paid what they are worth for
their services and in some cases many
times more.
| Here is a case in point: Christy
Mathewson. the star pitcher of the
New York Nationals. is expected to
reap about $4,000 as a result of the
coming seasons performances for the
Giants. This would make it appear
that even though baseball is a sort Of
syndicate affair. it is an extremely
benevolent one.
| The players have no voice in any at
| fairs of the game and cannot even
dispose of their own services at will,
| but It is greatly to the credit of the
powers that be that they suffer very
little financially. In fact 1t may be
stated that any good baseball player
| who can perform to q certain standard
year after year can steadily increase
his contract value.
It IL extremely doubtful II, under hap
hazard conditions which would pre-
vail were ball players to have the right
to Jump here and there at the beck OF
the highest bidder, the men could bet
ter the prices now paid. Certainly aft
| er two or three years of the chaos
which would result the club owners
would not have the money to pay any
thing like the prices that exist today
So it may be true that there is such
thing az a good trust after all.

Baseball players do not lose much

SPRECKLES WILL
CONTEST IN COURT

San Francisco. Cal, March 11.--with
the Ming In court today of a petition
for admission to probate OF the will
of the late Mrs. Anna C. Spreckles.
widow of Claus Spreckles, the sugar
magnate, there was begun what prom
Uses to develop into one of thu biggest
will contests the west has ever wit
messed. The contest will be CO. incident
with a similar contest over the Will of
Claus Spreckles. who died last Deccm-
Der. In the Wills OF both Mr.. Spreckies
and his widow. the elder sons of tbe
sugar king. John D. and Ado,ph
Gpreckles, were cut off without cent
The vast estates were left TO the other
children, Claus A. Spreckles. Rudolph
Spreckles and Mrs. Emma c. Ferris.
The will contests, it is expected. will
lay bare the skeleton Of the Sp-eck1es
family and the bitter war between the
brothers and their father The family
troubles had their beginning more than
fifteen years ago and since that time
have received frequent airings in the
newspapers.
One of the peculiar features of the
case is that at the beginning of the
family feud the lineup of the so-calied
loyal and disioyal sons Of the sugar
magnate was exactly the reverse of
what 1t was at the time OF Mr.. Spreck-
les death. In 1894 Claus A. Spreckles
sued his father to recover stock in the
Hawaiian Commercial company. This
suit was compromised, and then Ru-
dolph followed with a suit to prevent
the transfer of $1,000 worth of stock
held by his father as security to the
Nevada bank. Both sons declared that
their father and brothers were at
tempting to freeze them out of the fam
lily enterprises. Finally Claus A
Spreckles sued his father for ISLANDER
on account of a newspaper interview
in which the father said his son had
wasted money and would soon be bank
rupt.
These troubles. however were ap
parently patched up and then persona
misunderstanding arose which resulted
in John ID. and Adolph Spreckles in
curing the parental displeasure. tn
animosity between these two sons ant
their father continued until the latter
death. as is evidenced by the will o
the sugar king, which left the million

MOISSANT FAILS AGAIN.
Machine T1lmbIes to Earth and Is
Badly Damaged.

London. Aug. 22.-John B. Moissant
the American aviator. was again baf-
fled this morning IN his attempt 10
complete the Paris-London flight with
piciously last Tuesday evening. He
ascended twice this morning in his en-
deavor to cover the comparatively
short distance separating him from
London but he could make no head
way and in the second forced descent
damaged his machine so seriously that
he will be unable to resume the flight
for "a hours.
The first ascent was made at 4:so a.
M, from Upchurch, near Rainham,
where he landed after a battle with the
strong wind Saturday On the ground
a dead calm prevailed and all condi-
tions seemed favorable for the flight,
but the machine after ascending above
the trees was caught in tricky wind
and although MoiSsant remained in the
air Sc minutes he could cover only a
short distance. His supply of petrol
also gave out and he descended to re-
plenish it. After delay of half an
hour he again ascended against a 30
mile breeze, which he fought for the
succeeding half hour, covering only
four miles in the last 81 minutes. Fin
ally heavy gust of wind caught the
monoplane and flung 1T down bodily
100 feet, just missing one of the high
hedges bordering the English road
ways Moissant avoided 1t by an alb
rupt swerve and the machine landed in
a field striking so heavily that it was
badly DANA ged. The wheels used in
starting were buckled. the rudder and
propeller broken and parts of the
frame work were smashed. Moissant
and his mecha nician, Filux, narrowly
escaped injury.
Moissant and his machine are now at
seven Oaks. about 90 miles from Up
church and an equal distance from
London.

EXPECT PARK RETALIATION.

An enthusiastic meeting of the ways
and means committee appointed by
the Fourth ward taxpayers to negotiate
for the purchase of the Lakin and
Farnsworth properties for park pur-
poses, was held this noon at the Com
mercial club. 1t now looks as though
the park will become a reality.
Members of the committee branded
as false the story which is being cir
culated to the effect that the park will
cost property owners of the ward $50
number and that hardship would
be worked upon the people
1t is probable that the committee
soon will present to the mayor and

that benefit district be created for
the purchase of the property.
