By Davis ]. Walsh

PITTSBURGH. April s.--com-
promise? That was the attitude
today Of Rogers Hornsby. stock
holder in the st. Louis Cardinals
and second baseman Of the New
York Giants. on the moot point a.
to whether the National League
would care to make an issue Of
his dual allegiance.
Compromise? Impossible! That
was the opinion Of Sam Breadon,
owner Of the Cardinals, who had
made his bid for Hornsby's stock
and felt that he was all washed up.
offered $4,000 for his stock
II the New York and ST. Louis
clubs and the National League
would contribute . gratuity OF
ed, would net him the Sl23,OO0
he asks for the stock.
Breadon and the other club
owners rejected this proposal.
Breadon left for st. Louis well
satisfied that Hornsby must abide
by president John A. Heydler's
edict Of sell or forfeit his right to
appear for the Giants at the Ma
tional League opening in PhiladeI.
phia on Tuesday.
That Hornsby win lose little
time in Applying for an injunction
restraining the National League
from interfering with his ball
playing seemed to be one Of the
inevitable aftermaths Of the special
National League meeting yesterday
at which Hornsby and the club
owners agreed to disagree. As mat
ters finally stood Hornsby was OF.
fered 100000 for his 1857 shares
by the National League but de-
clined to accept the offer.
So no compromise was the
word today both Of Hornsby
and the National League with
l.. j. BOndy, attorney OF the
New York Giants, promising to
take an Injunction that would
allow HOrnsby TO start the sea-
SON as q player Of the Giants
in spite Of the fact that he
owned stock in the st. Louis
Cardinals.
The injunction, Bondy explained
today, would be answerable In five
days and in the event that the in
junction was not obeyed Bondy
promised that definite action on a
charge OF contempt OF court would
be started as soon as the interested
parties reached New York.
In brief 1t looks as though
Hornsby and the National League
had reached a parting of the ways.
The last thing his attorney, William
Fahey, said last night was that
the player would 90 into court
with his case and meantime would
appear for the opening game OF
the 1897 season In Philadelphia
and every day thereafter in an
effort to earn his $4,000 contract
with the Giants to whom he was
traded last winter only q few
months after he had won the pen.

ACTION

Those struggling Griffmen have
transferred their preseason activities
to New York. They failed to cop
either Of their contests at the Griffith
Stadium. but hope for better luck at
the New York Polo Grounds. where
they are to play today and tomorrow.
Bump Hadley, the chubby, rosy
try his luck today against the Ma.
tional Leaguers. Hadley, by the
hardest sort of work, has shed a lot
OF excess weight and is about in con-
dition for the real campaign. Today
he viii be tested for the last time
before the bell rings.
The Giants are expected to
send Burleigh Grimes, veteran
spitbaIler, against the Griffmen.
Grimes is not yet in shape. but
he viii be kept on the mound as
long as possible.
Dutch Henry's southpaw slants
were too much for the Griffs yester-
day, and so the Giants won, to /,
before q small crowd Of frozen bugs.
Seven hits were all he allowed and no
two came in any one session.
Bucky Harris sent Garland Brax-
ton into the fray for q starter, and
he ran right into a hurricane. Seven
hits. interlarded with two Washing
ton misplays, handed McGraw's
men three runs in the first three
frames. After that the left-hander
managed to prevent either hitting or
scoring until he gave way to "Old
Abe" Coveleskie.
Convey allowed a run IN the sixth
but looked fully recovered from his
ailing right leg. The veteran will
start against the Red Sox Tuesday
and seems ready for his best work. |
The Giants filled the bases in |
the opening inning on hits by
Roush, Reese and Terry, but two |
were down and Harper ended things |
by forcing Terry.
DeVOrmer singled with one
out in the second and when
Stuffy Stewart booted HenFy's
grOunder he reached third, with
Henry riding safely into second
base. Tyson scratched . hit to
Bluege and the corners were
crowded. Lindstrom's brutal
0eB 20 center scored the first
Giants but Speaker threw out
Tyson at third and Roush rolled
to Stewart.
The Giants third run was a bit
OF charity on the part Of the
Griffs. Terry singled to right and
hiked all the way around when
Bluege picked UP Jeanes' roller
and threw it into right field. This
sort Of baseball grated on the |
nerves Of the fans, who began
issuing series Of painful RACES |
for the boys.
Not till the fifth did the. home
team get man over the dish and |
he was assisted. Stewart sped
around to third when Jeanes
dropped his drive to right center |
and counted on Speakers timely /
single to left. After that came no |
more scoring, Mr.. Henry insisting |
on retiring everybody a. fast 40 |
possible.
With two out in the sixth. Tyson
scratched a single to Myer and |
stole Lindstrom brought him IN |
with safe plunk to center. That |
was all the Giants could get from |
Covelesxie. though. He grew quite |
a. stingy as his rival.
