TIRED of the persistent dickering
of Claude Hendrix for larger
increase in his monthly stipend.
President Barney Dreyfuss of the
Pittsburg club has recalled the con-
tract recently rendered the big right
handler and has substituted, instead.
one that calls for n much smaller
salary than was stipulated in the first.
The Corsair executive has lost all patti
ence with Hendrix, who has become
imhued with an exaggerated idea of his
own importance. and will make no eff
fort to coax him to Ncome to terms.
Because OF his unreasonable demand
for salary much larger than lie Is
considered worth Hendrix must either
stay outside of the pale of organized
bah or accept the decrease offered him
in the second contract. The original
offer was said to have been In the
neighborhood of $500, but tho latest
misses this mark by a considerable
margin.
So determined is the Smoky City
executive in his stand regarding Hen
dirk that he has stated no effort will
be made to hinder him from joining
the Federals, should he so desire to
enlist in the ranks of the new venture
Dreyfuss states that he Is through
with Hendrix unless he comes back
voluntarily and at II much smaller
salary. I'VE are not going to law
about Hendrix TO prevent him joining
the Federals,n said the Pirate boss,
''as we don't care fig about him or
his services" The only course now
open to the belligerent pitcher is that
he must either peacefully come into
the fold or sever his connections with
organized ball entirely.
The rumors that several of the
youngsters on the Pirate roster were
seriously contemplating joining the
Federals appear to be disapproved by
the fact that Catcher Simons, Iniielder
Mccarthy, Pitchers Delhi and Wilbur
Cooper and several other S-ate
youngsters have all accepted the terms
offered them by President Dreyfuss.
Cooper and Simons were claimed by
the Federals but their signing no doubt
dispells all uneasness that the Pirate
executive and Manager Clarke have
experienced over any of the young
sters forsaNing the Pittsburg club.
Slowly but surely the ina ginray
barriers that separate the athletic
teams of the south from those in the
north are being obliterated and the
teams of one section are now coming
in constant contact with those of the
others. The friendly relations that
now exist between the teams of the

Roller Was Wanted
Another thing that may be brought into

the wrestler originally intended to oppose
Donnelly. An effort was made to get
DR.. Roller, who next to Gotch is consid-
cred one of the best heavyweights in the
country, but he had a previous engage
ment, and was unable to come south any
time during January. Following this,
kervaras was suggested as possible op-
ponent for Donnelly so arrangements were
made for him to meet the Irish Whirl-
wind
The two men are said to have a good
knowledge of mat tactics and are fast
workers. Keryaras for Il time acted as
trainer to Frank Gotch and is conse-
quently well versed in many methods en-
ployed by the worlds champion. Later
he was in the retinue of Mahomet, the
Terrible Turk and also acquired some
mat generalship from him.
Since the two have been in the city
they have made a favorable impression
and officials of the Athletic club are con-
fident that no rank exhibition Will be
staged
Both Donnelly and Kervaras have been
exceedingly busy during the past several
months, and on every occasion have
given satisfaction. Most of Kervara's s
work during this time has been confined
to Cincinnati, while a majority of Don
nellys matches have taken place in Can
ada, where he claims to have captured the
heavyweight crown by defeating the title
holder and seven other aspirants for
heavyweight honors.

Every great reform in England was
achieved in the bitterness of broken

No Wonder Sugar Trust Is Presi-

Of the accused pleaded guilty. Some
turned states evidence. Several were
sentenced to jail. The underlings,
who had merely done the crooked
work they were ordered to do, had to
serve their sentences.
But Charles r. Heike, secretary and
treasurer of the trust, who was found
guilty of conspiring to defraud the
government through false weights,
and was sentenced to eight months
in jail, was pardoned by President
Taft two days before Woodrow Wilson
took office.
In addition to convictions, fines and
Jail sentences, the trust paid back
nearly $3,OO0,O00 which it admitted
having stolen by short weights. Gov
eminent attorneys claim that the en-
tire sum thus stolen by the sugar trust
was between 100000 and $1,000

The sugar schedule of the new tar

graft of the trust, makes a strong re-
duction to take effect at once, and pro-
vides for free sugar at the end of three
years. 1t is just and moderate

gar trust deserves.
