within two weeks, while there are
twenty or more others who still feel
the effects of burns arising from the

gathered from retailers by the police
recently, were analysed by the State
Chemist, E. w. Magruder, at Rich

each sample contained gasoline. One
sample in particular, ignited at a tenn

CHICAGO. H.. March %. - Pres
ident Charles H Weeghman of the
Chicago team and r. B. Ward of the
Brooklyn club of the Federal League will
settle the future whereabouts of Pitcher
Tom Seaton. next week. This was the
information given out today by President
Weeghman, who made light of the entire
affair and declared there was no quarrel
in the league, either between Chicago
and Brooklyn or between Seaton and the
magnates.
President Ward of the Brooklyn club
will be in Chicago next week and we
will make a final settlement of the Sea-
ton case at that time" declared Weegh-
man. There never was any trouble
about the player-it was all newspaper
talk There is no question that when
Mr.. Ward and I have a chance to talk
together we will arrange matters to the
satisfaction both of the two clubs and
of Seaton.'
President James A. Gilmore of the
Federal, League reiterated the assertion
that no offer had been made to Weaver
and Scott of the Chicago White Sox.
"You can say positively that no offer
has been made to either Of these men by
any Federal League club" declared Gill
more. Il am not sure about Mollwitz
Of the Cubs. but | do not think he has
been made an offer either Most of the
clubs have all the men they want and we
are not Offering fabulous salaries, as one
would believe"
The row over Seaton came as a result
of his being allotted to the Brooklyn
team after signing with Chicago and
Seaton's refusal to go to Brooklyn"
