OUTLAWS AGAIN
MAKING THREATS
Players Insist That Back Pay and Expense Money Is
Still Due Them-May Not Play Today's
Game.

The Washington baseball team OF
the United States League is again
facing a crisis, the players having
threatened to leave the organization
unless all back pay and expense
money is forthcoming by noon today
Despite the announcement made by
Mr.. Mocabee, the new president of
the local club, that the members of
the team had been paid in full, the
players still protest that a large
quantity OF money for salaries and
travelling expenses is still due them.
1t was stated today by several of the
palyers that only $50 for each
member of the team had been
paid on Monday at which time threats
had been made to disband.
The players argue largely from a
standpoint of fairness between owner
and player. They cannot understand
why the team should in hard fnan-
cial straits when large attend
ances have witnessed all of the games
except those played in Washington
II the owners of the team would
deal fairly with us and give us a
share OF our salary proportionate TO
the success OF the team in other cities
we would have no kick coming" said
Gus Dundon, the veteran big Lacquer,
who is a member of the Washington
outlaw organization. 1--WE know"
continued Gus. "that we have not at
tracted much attention in Washing
ton. but why we can't get our share
Of the money cleaned in Richmond,
New York, and Reading. we can't
understand"

Wrestling Carnival

Manager Peck, of the Gayety Theater
received word from Prokos, who was to
participate in the wrestling carnival at
the Gayety Theater next Monday night
that he has had an attack of illness
which will prohibit him from wrestling
any more this season. In Prokos'
place, Christ Jordan, has been secured
to appear.
Jordan has been defeating some of
the best wrestlers In the East during
the winter just closed, and the mat

EXPECT THARMONY
IN CAPITAL LEAGUE
Differences Among Teams Will Probably Be Cleared
Away-Circuit Has Been Operating Under
Adverse Conditions.
Adverse Conditions.

Every effort will be made to keep the
Capital City League intact. and the
parties interested in the welfare of the
circuit will do everything possible to
make overtures to the Seamen Gunners,
following their decision to withdraw
from the circuit. 1t was announced this
morning that while the league was
shaky., 1t was expected that harmony
would prevail when all of the differences
had been taken up.
Although Captain Morrow, of the Sea-
men Gunners, stated positively that his
team would under no conditions play IN
the league again, 1t was stated that the
difficulties could be patched up. The
root of the trouble lies in the fact that
Umpire Belts made a decision against
the Genners yesterday which none of the
players could see. The Gunners were
behind the Navy Yard players, the score
being IL to l. Dhe Gunners then left
the field. saying that they would not
play In the league again.
The decision of the Seamen Gunners
again plunges the Capital City League
In turmoil. Recently the Pumping Sta
tion team wanted to withdraw, and the
fact that Gunners have lost many
games and now feel dissatisfied indi-
d .
Just what measures will be taken will
probably be made known at the amateur
commission meeting tomorrow night.
Little OF moment Is expected at the
commission meeting to be held u,
Spalding's tomorrow night. The consid-
Grafton of the admission of the three
Government leagues will probably be
taken up at the meeting with furthe,
action on the increasing of the num-
Der of men to be signed by each team
Rumor has 1t that the Columbia
League will most likely change Its
present location to the Capital City
League grounds pending the dissolu,
ton of that league. The Columbia
League Is said TO- be wanting the Cor.
nell team and the Sewage Pumping
Station players in its league, and ne,
gotiations arc pending on the transfer
4 meeting of the league Is slated before
the commission meeting and plans will
no doubt be taken up at that time.
Should the two Capital City League
teams decide to come under the Colum.

Kensington and Mt. Pleasant would Ii
dropped. The league would then b,
run on a siX-club plan, and would play
its games at the First and l. stree
grounds.

Gallaudet and M. A. C..
May Sever Relations

What may result in the severing of
athletic relations between the colleges Is
the withdrawal of the Maryland Agri-
cultural College team from the baseball
game yesterday. following a decision
made by Umpire West against the
Aggies The score stood at to 6 in the
eighth inning, when Rasmussen. of the
Gallaudet nine, made play on low
fly ball.
The Aggies claimed the pitcher had
trapped the ball, and refused to abide
by the umpires decision, taking the
team off the field. The contest was
awarded to Gallaudet at the expiration
of five minutes. The game was nip and
tuck throughout, and replete with
scrappy baseball. The Aggies got going
late, and tied up the score in the eighth
inning. Hoffecker pitched we'll toward
the last of the contest. The score:
