"It seems to me continued Heyuit-r, -for a new organization to attempt to pay such eiiotrnour; salaries.

There is hardly a chance for any of them to break even, and most are certain to be big losers on the year. I know nothing about the reported jump of Johnson and Marquard. The office of the president is merely a clearing house of the league. We are now getting out our annual reports. "There can be no pece with such methods.

In fact, organized baseball is not looking for peace. It's the Federals who are cutting their own throats. They can afford to pay the high salaries they promise and make expenses." BARROW HAS NO SYMPATHY. "Any man who will jump a contract will throw a game." said Kd Barrow, president of the International League, "Vou can't make that too strong for me. I have no sympathy for any man who will go bick on his word in order to make a few additional dollars.

"The Internationals will meet Monday at the Imperial. Y'es, we have a num-j ber of important questions to consider. There- are some franchise changes to be made, but I can't say what they will be. Jersey City may not be retairjed, and there is some chance of putting a team, in Brooklyn and also Richmond, hut these th'ng are uncertain until we meet on Monday. "So far as the Federals are concerned you may say the International circuit will bo stronger than ever next year.

You will know all about it Monday night." PRESIDENT WARD AMAZED. Robert B. Ward, when told that the New York club and the National Deague held signed contracts binding Marquard to play with the Giants for two years, became somewhat excited. "If this is true," he said, "we don't want Marquard. but lie will find that his move will take him into court.

He came to me and made an affidavit that he was not bound in any way to the tiiants. "Acting on this understanding I signed him and gave him considerable money in advance. I think he is liable to criminal action for getting money under false pretenses. We acted in good faith and will refuse to be imposed upon in any way. Marquard came to us.

We did not seek him." At the same time that Mr. Ward was talking of criminal action against Marquard. Harry N. Hempstead, president of the Giants, was considering legal action of another kind. MA GEE ADMITS HURDLING.

Douis Cardinal outfielder, said today: "I might as well cut out the waste of conversation. I've signed with the Federals and no matter whether they make me a manager or just a private in the ranks, I'm going to stick to them.
