IIVKHKI LED THE SPALDING DEMI It HER. Dffcndant Can Enter Milt on Pay ment of Coat Ilrufth Off f" York Dusehull (Gossip. NEW YORK. March .-Justice Truax. ir. the Supreme Court, to-day overruled a d'-rriurrer entert d by A. G. Spalding and ethers to the ir junction suit brought by Andrew Freedma n. oun.r of the New York Baseball Club, to res-train Spalding from acting as president of the National League, Ju.-tire Truax decided that the defendants might withdraw the demurrer and enter suit on payment of cost. The suit was tgun last December, when Freedman ob tained a temporary injunction restraining Spalding from exercising any of the func tions of the office of president of the Na tional League, to which he was elected at a xr.eetln? of the National League held at the Fifth-avenue Hotel. It was held in the rl-a for injunction that the election was v. i.j. as a quorum was not present at the time. Those who participated in the Spald ir.g election were representatives of the Pittsburg. Chicago. Brooklyn and Philadel phia c!ub3. Spalding demurred to the complaint on the ground th.it the court had no jurisdic tion of the subject of action; that the plain tiffs had no legal capacity to sue: that th-r was a defect of parties plaintiff; that there was a defect of parties defend ant, and that the complaint did not state fa. ts sufficient to constitute a cause of acti :n. It is understood that at the meeting of the National League to be held in this city r.ext week A G. Spalding will not officiate a president, being still restrained by order cf the court. By the terms of Judge Tru ax s decision N. E. Young is still president cf the League, since it is contended that no l---'.-tion has been held since 1" when Mr. Yo-.:ng was choten for a stated terra of Je i rs.

IIASnilAI.L THIS WFiKIC. Preliminary Season Open Next Satur day, w Cincinnati Here. The preliminary baseball season will open n Indian ipolis Saturday of this week, and three weeks from next "Wednesday the firrt game of the championship race of the American Association will be played. Man ager Watkins and Secretary Rusehaupt have been as busy as bees during the last few davs preparing for the great event. There has been a general cleaning up at the ball park, and the grounds have been rolled and put in first-class condition. Seats have been repaired and the cobwebs dust ed from the money racks in the box othce to prepare for the sheckles that will soon roll in. This season in baseball for Indianapo lis is a little more important than the casual observer might suppose, lear be fore last Indianapolis was dropped by the American League and in 1&01 Watkins and Rusehaupt tried their fortunes with the Western Association, an organization that Mt not nlese the Indianapolis Dublic. and the Indianapolis club owners withdrew . .... . . t .. i j from it In July.

About eignteen men wiu it-puxt iui uui .,ith th fmUiinatiolis club, and they wul nearly all be here by Tuesday evening. c .nnr Manacpr Watkins will not carry that number of players throughout the reason, but bercre ne oegins me wtcujug process he will give all the candidates a thorough trial in order to secure a rlrst- clas aggregation to represent muianupuus in the light for the 117.1 Mag. Manager Watkins appreciates the fact that several other clubs in the American Association have serious intention of hovering around the top rung of the l?dder. and he will make special 'efforts to keep the Iloosieis in very close proximity to rtrst place. xxx Great interest is manifested by local en thusiasts on the probability of Arthur Coul ter reporting to the Indianapolis manager for duty in the outfield this year. Coulter is the star fielder who made such a great record with Rome. N. Y.. last season, and was transferred to the Syracuse team. He was hi?hlv recommended to .Manager, v ai kJr.s by Captain Fox and others who have followed nis work. It also appears that Cincinnati desired the services of Coulter, and it is claimed some kind of an agree ment was made whereby Coulter was to go to Red town. I3ut Coulter desires to come to Indianapolis, believing it would be bet ter for him to have anotner season s train ing in an organization such as the Araer ican Association before making the leap to the National League. He says lie would rather go into the National when he knows he will make good than to make the step and probablv meet with failure. If l oul ter s own wishes are respected in the mat ter he will wtar an Indianapolis uniform the coming season. He would make a great addition to the lloosier staff. lie is a rapid worker in the field and on the bases, and is said to be a regular Inaudi in solving the mysterious ones handed to him by the twirlers. xxx The '-financial agent" of the Eastern League must be burdened with so much coin that he wants a place to lose it. Judging from the reported salaries some of the clubs in that organization will pay the coming season. It Is more than likely, however the handsome offers made will be S3d in 5UKe money.

The American Associa tion cannot afford to pay $iJ a month to plavers. and if the players would only consider the matter a little they could see through the Kastern League plan. The Kastern League clubs, under the circuit arranged for this year, will not draw much more than two-thirds as many people as th - American Association clubs. If Stal ling and other managers in the Eastern League are offering such wonderful salaries to play ts to induce them to jump it means the plavers would never get their money.

MIORTKIIHSH SQI'AD CIIOSKX. Boys Who Will Represent the Bine and While on the Diamond. The Shortridge baseball candidates have been doing some hard practice for the last two weeks and Captain Maynard Allen is well plpeased with the outlook for a win ning nine. He says there was the best set cf rlayers from which to choose a team that Shortridge has had for a long time. It is the intention of Captain Allen to keep about fifteen men throughout the season, from which the nine for each game will be selected. The squad has been chosen and Is made up of the following prayers: Will Connor, Wayland Masters, Art De war, 'Cob" Allen. Howard Griffith. Dob Falley and Lowdfn. outfield; Parker. Krnest Hold son, Max Wiley, Clarence McKinney, Bob Scott tid Oscar Berry, Infield; C. Allen, AMERICAN PUGILISTS j TERRY JO j f Carl Gibbs, Will Kearney and Harley Mc Kinney, pitchers; Connor and Maynard Al len, catchers. On April 12 the first regular game will be played, with Franklin. As this week is spring vacation the squad will be given some hard practice and get into condition tor the schedule, which is the longest ever made for a Shortridge nine. The high school boys play a game with the Indian apolis league team on April 10. Manager Hohlson will have the Business Men's Driving Park grounds in excellent shape by Tuesday, when the squad will commence active practice. After that day only members of the s';i:ad will be allowed Gn the fit Id during practice hours. Ilasehnll Ilriefs. Jacob Weimer has signed with both Kan sas City teams. Bill Gleason. the cTcc famous shortstop of the St. Louis Browns, has a son, Phil Gleason. who is regarded as a comer. The New York players have begun prac tice and the feature of the early work was the excellent showing of Christy Mathew son. The Southern League has adopted the Griffith ball. This is a derl against Spald ing and the National Association of Minor Leagues. The Milwaukee American Association managers have forwarded transportation to Cincinnati to all the Hrewers, and they will report there this wek. Manager Strobel, of Toledo, has closed the Joss case, hiving decided to tike no legal steps to force the pitcher to fulfill the con tract that he signed last December. P. J.

League team, will manage a New York State League club. The St. Louis American club has not waived claim to Pitcher Husting, and Manager -McAleer has forwarded a state ment of the case to President Johnson, with the request that he notify the Boston club that It has no right to the player's services. President Quin, of the Milwaukee Amer ican Association team, has challenged Hugh Duffy,, of the Milwaukee Western, for a series of three or five games to de cide the championship of the rival Mil waukee teams. Duffy says he is willing, but. Is arrald the estern League would not permit his team to play against an American Association team. It might show up the weakness of the Western too much. The Western League schedule for the l:02 playing season is out. That is. It has been sent to the magnates, but is not yet ready for publication. Mr. Gross positively re fuses to say anything about the games scheduled for Milwaukee except that this city has ten Sundays. When asked if Mil waukee had three holiday dates, Mr. Gross kept mum. However, he did not deny the report that the Milwaukee Western League team would be here on Decoration day. Labor day and July 4. The Milwaukee American Association team plays away from home on those days. It was said that the schedule adopted by the association In Chicago several weeks ago was only a "dummy" and that changes would in all probability be made as soon as the Western League schedule 13 issued. This can safely be denied, as President Illckey taid no changes would be made. Milwaukee News. The Denver Times has started a crusade against the scale of prices at the ball games In that city. The rate of admission to all Western League parks, except In Denver and Colorado Springs, is 25 and 50 cents; In the Colorado cities the charges are 40 and 65 cents.

Denver is one of the best baseball cities In the country, but the great expense of railroad travel to and from it so greatly handicaps it that for a good many seasons it was left with out representation in a league. It is the terminus of the circuit, and, unless a scale of prices that will justify the cost of reach ing and returning from it is maintained, the owners of clubs In other cities will not permit a team to be stationed there. Colo rado Springs has a franchise not on Its merits as a ball town, but solely because it Is near Denver, and the receipts from its gamf s. aid in making trips to the Denver metropolis profitable. The question is one of distance and not of discrimination. It is not an outrage or an Imposition to make the charge of admission to the games pro portionate to the cost. The Tlmes's cam paign will not be successful, as cheap ball will cause Denver to be deserted by base bali promoters for many decades. Sporting News.
