The young Jerseymau's salary was

that he was given substantial in

was evidently perfectly satisfied with
the terms he accepted.

Bodie May Be Traded.
Ping departed with an apparent
crouch over the result Of the CONVEX

Occasionally some loud remark could
be heard during the conference as If
Ping were somewhat excited He
did not sign. Il was not an
nOunced though that a reduction Of
the players salary had been decided
upon. Manager Higgins merely said
ir an off hand way, -Oh, we have just
had little talk with Ping'-that's
all
II is doubtless HuEelns' plan
