WARD COMES INTO
YANK FOLD AT LAST
Infielder Settles Differences
With Club-S7,500 Said to
Be Contract Price.
by CHARLES A. TAYLOR.

New ORLEANS. March miller Hug
| gins, manager of the Yanks, and Aaron
| Ward, the recalcitrant. obstreperous in
| fielder. are pertaking of generous por-
tions of the fatted heifer this evening
| The prodigal Ward has returned to the
fold with all the rough edges OF his
contract smoothed out to the salts
faction of everybody concerned The
differences between the mans cement and
the player we're settled this morning
and both sides claim victory.
The most generally accepted theory Is
that Ward has been promised a boost
of $4,000 from the figure set in the
second contract offered him this spring.
Both litigants agree that the first papers
mailed to Aaron called for the same
salary as he received last year No
photograph of the new and acceptable
document was taken today Baseball
magnates act differently from boxing
promoters In such matters, but 1t Is
the opinion Of our old friend, General
Consensus, that the sprightiy young
ground ball eater VIII be paid some
$500 for services rendered In the Vi
cinity OF second base this season.
The latest census of the lloldout bri-
gade taken by the midges r1cnager this
afternoon revealed the fact that all
hands were now lined up with the pos
slble exception OF Wally Schang. Hug
has received no word from his New
York bosses In regard to the veteran
catcher, but assumes that he. TO. has
seen the light. Anyhow, the Miller's
slogan now Is Lets co.
Golf Champions Present.
The practice to-day was snappy and
productive and was accompanied by
some unusual features which added
Zest and merriment. The unusual
features were Jock Hutchinson the
fellow who dashed across the wide
waters and snatched title golf cup
right out OF the hands of the British
cousins, and long Jim Barnes, former
open golf champion OF these United
States. All followers of the niblicB
know that these two monarchs of tee
and green are making an extended tour
and this town happened to be one of
their jumping off places. They ap
peared on the baseball Course here
at high noon to-day just as the Yanbs
were getting down TO business.
IL was assumed that Jock and Jim
would be content to occupy a field box
Manus and Tuck Roth FASTENED to dust
off couple Of chairs in a propitious
spot. But II was not so to be. 1--WE
want bat and a ball" announced the
fiery Jock in his best Scotch
The golf experts then fielded few
bunts. taking turns at tossing the ball
up 10 the bat. The next announcement
of lock was a desire to go up to the
plate and hit at some real pitching.

several beauties over second. But long
Jim had a mise rpbie time OF IT, He
always swung {, early or too late.
Tonight the golfers left camp bound
for their next tourney at Laurel, Miss.
after extending their best wishes for
the success of the Yanks In the coming
pennant campaign.
The prodigal Ward took part In the
practice for the first time and appeared
az chipper as ever about the infield.
Bob Roth also made his bow in a uni
form and smashed out some long drives
IN batting practice The pitching end
war cared for by big Jim Jolly. George
Murray, Lefty Wilson, Culp and Quinn.
Tecarr. the southpaw obtained from
Jersey City. had a slight cold and is go
Ing TO take two day holiday.
Manager Huggins continued his
course of treatment with the Penn State
twins, Glenn Killinger and Hinkey
Haines. Hinkey has a grand chance to
land that temporary berth in right II
he can bring his batting up TO the big
league standard. He is as fleet as the
south wind in the outfield and has a
good arm. The board of strategy and
ali the Yankee scouts join In praise OF
this young college lad. He's sure TO
spend few days on Broadway In April
