"When the Spanish-American war

nate, "practically every, minor league
in the t:ountry went uj. Schedules were
closed ort the Fourth of July and only

the financial situation-- If war is de
, dared, on Germany there will be even
harder times in atore for baseball.

"Witb th situation so discouraging.
It la hardly to be expected of the mag-
nates to hold up the salaries and the
boy who fall to sign, up previous to a

next Tuesday, we shall have to wipe
him Off. the slate and take one of the
younger fellows.

fllo as possible because in that case
-Walter will have a better chance to
' look them over. We have nine sched

as we get.f r the boat, so that we shall

who can get in there and work right
-off the reel. The old fellows can't do
that. ' It -takes Gus Fisher and Byron

would be of great benefit to them as It

"t received a wire today from
C teh-er MarshaH, who is spending the
winter in Dubuque, Iowa. He says his
contract is perfectly satisfactory and
he wants to go to Honolulu if there is
e,-possible chance. He says he can play
outfield in. addition to catching, so that
16 we switch Ken Williams to first
base we will be lortiried in the out
field.
?, "A wire was also received from
Mont. Hlgbce's contract was sent to
his home address at Duluth, Minn., but
he wasnt Uiere and lie says that he
;bas never received it. A letter telling
Ct the - Honolulu excursion was also
ent him and that was returned unde
livered. I guess he must have been
reading the papers, for he saya he Is
anxious to make the trip with us. I
have wired him the terms of his con
tract and if he accepts, we shall take
him along."

the unionisation .of baseball is possible.'
Accorainr to -j awn.-' ne nas watched
tha progress? of the Players'- Frater
nity, from the start, and. has been con
vinced that It was doomed to failure. 1
e1. have seen many such move
ment started in -the past," says Me
Graw, "but none of them has ever suc
ceeded. They soon died down and
were forgotten.
"Baseball " cannot: toe unionised' h.
cause It is an art.- The past history-'
or tne organization, and I have read' a
great deal .upon It. has Shown that art
rannot be. organised - In this': fashion.
Baseball Is an art; If Jt, wasn't we
wouldn't- have' minor ' and -major
leagues? Thev would all be the same."
