BASEBALL STRIKE DENIED.
International League Players Said to Bt
Satisfied.

New York, Feb. q. President Barrow
Of the International league emphatical-
" denied yesterday that there is a strike
on among the players of his organza
tion against the salary limit He de-
clared that the majority OF his clubs had
their players nearly all signed up, the
only exception being the Jersey City
club, which, owing to the delay in clos
ing the deal with Thomas A. Fogarty
sent out its contracts only few days
ago.
There was no opposition on behalf Of
any OF our club owners to the adoption
OF the present salary limit said Mr.
Barrow. They all realized that the sal
airy lists OF several clubs were entirely
too high. Not only We're the players
getting all the money, but several of
the teams had become so much stronger
than the others that it was necessary TO
make some move to equalize the playing
strength Of the league. That the adop
tion OF uniform salary limit will help
to bring this about in short time |
haven't the least doubt, possibly not
this year, but the next season the good
effects are sure to be seen and felt.
"The fans have no cause for worry.
The quality of ball in the international
league in 1913 will be just as high or
higher than that OF previous years

Bradford is apparently the most affected
while in Hartford there are scarcely any

probably be followed out and will be

automobile, as he testified Yesterday.
In his closing arguments. Attorney

HAD DUEL ON STREETS.
Two Greeks Engaged in Encounter at
Somersworth, N. H.

Somersworth, n. H., Feb. 27.-Severa
people on their way from work about
o'clock last evening narrowly escaped
being shot, when a couple of Greeks en-
gagged in a revolver duel on Washington
street. As the result of the mixup
Satios Bagetakos, known as SAM" was
placed under arrest.
| According to young lady named Miss
Cote, who resides on Washington street,
and near whose home the shooting took
place, several Greeks were walking
along together when one of them was
pushed into the street, whipped out a
revolver and started shooting. In ALL she
thinks, about seven or eight shots were
fired
Officer Labonte was short distance
from the scene and he saw a Greek run
out OF a yard and open fire on the fel.
low, who first used the shooting IRON
An exchange of shots took place, and the
fellow who came ont of the yard and
who proved to be Bagetakos, FASTENED
back to the yard with the officer in pur-
suit. The fleeing Greek slipped on the
ice, and the revolver flew from his grasp.
and he was taken into custody by the
officer He stated that he was replying
to shots fired by John Loukakos, stating
that the latter shot at him first.
IL Il understood that Bagetakos had
trouble with Loukakos' brother about
year ago and that he cut the brother
badly with a knife. The case has since
been hanging fire, but was due TO come
up in the superior court Thursday. Bage
takos claims that Loukakos attempted
to shoot him as a means OF getting
even with him for the cutting of Lou
kakos' brother.
As the street was crowded at the
time of the shooting it is considered
that no one was shot. Bage- |
takos will be tried Thursday morning.

II President Huerta Is able 10 con
duct his government in regular consti'
tutional form; to maintain undisputed
possession of his capital and to extend
full and ample protection to foreign life
and property in Mexico, formal recog-
milton win not be withheld.
In the course of conference with the
members of the Senate committee on
foreign relations yesterday at which SEN
ators Culberson and Sheppard of Texas
were present Secretary of War Stim-
son and Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood gave
assurance of such disposition of troops
along the Texas frontier as will in
sure protection of that section against
invasions by marauders from Mexico.
They explained that the removal to
Galveston of the detachments from El
Psso and other Rio Grande points had
been rendered necessary by the crisis in
the city of Mexico. With the acces-
sion of General Huerta they said il had
looked for time as il active interven-
tion might be necessary and it was
desirable to get as large force as pos
sble to the nearest point OF embarka-
tion at the earliest possible moment.
On this account the nearby garrisons
were rushed to that place. Now that
the critical timee had passed, they ex-
Dected that time could be taken to bring
troops from greater distance to Gal
eeston. This would be done, and the
,wo officials expressed confidence that
here soon would be no reason for com
,laint.
Consular and other reports to the state
md war departments indicated the ex.
stence of small disturbances in several
quarters of Mexico but on the whole
here appeared to be a general convic-
