ANOTHER GIANT TO
STICK TO THE MINES
Rousch. Like Kauff. Refuses to
Report Until His Palm
Is Crossed.
HEAT STOPS PRACTICE

MARLIN. Tex. March 6.-Although
John J. McGraw was imposed I" m"o-
llize his entire army here ;o-da? Inc
Giants are far from being IN a state oil
prepnredness to begin team work. Three
members OF his outer line of picke,s are
missing. Benny kauif declared hlihse't
a holdout several days ago and l'avy
Robertson has asked to h" excused Tor
two weeks. Now II develops that Ed-
ward Rousch refuses to sign the contract
sent our by the New York club just after
Rousch was purchased from the Newark
Federals.
4, SEE ms that Rousch at the time OF
his sale to the Giants was not under con-
tract. His Newark sentence expired last
fan and he neglected TO get "A new con-
tract before the Federal League cor
lansel. Consequently he Is much dis-
nlea sed with himself and with the salary
Offer of the New YORK club. The young
man is now in Evansville. Ind, and ike
kauff, he is going TO stick TO the MINES
! he says, unless Harry hampstead crosses
his palm with silver. .

Fletcher in st. Louis last saturday, pu'
