Ry this time perhaps the question
ha?? suggested itself: "What will be?
come of Jim Gilmore?" It Is assured
that the master organizer will bo ap?
peased and get his choice of Severn!
jobs. George S. Ward, of the Brook?
lyn Tip Tops, is another man who will
have what he wants if the terms of
peace are signed.
Gilmore Stands to Guns.
On the eve of settlement, so to speak,
the fiery Gilmore stood by his smoking
guns. He denied most emphatically
thut any negotiations had been mado
to bring about peace, and said that he
had not seen any of the Nattnol League
..v. tiers, llnrry P. Sinclair could not
bo found, and O. S. Ward said that he
had not seen Buy of the National League
much from the Federal League side of
th.- matter.
Now la the time when the ball rlay
?ra who are living on the fat 01 the
Inr.ii, secure in iron-clad contracts, are
beginning to wonder what the future
w II bring forth. With the return of
normal conditions salarien will be cut
and slashed to ribbons, and the owners
who were forced to pav highest sal?
aries will now name their own figures,
and with no warring league to resort
to the players ? ill be forced to accept.
It waa so when the National and
American leagues buried the hatch.**
Borne ten vears or more ago. It will
be especially hard on the youngster?
lust coming up to the major leagues.
Mar.v of the older players are working
undei which have another
year to run. When these agreement?
run out they may expect substantial
reductions in their new contract-1.
In conformity with a long estab?
lished rule, the National League pen

Philadelphia club, and in conformity
w th a long established precedent, the
ofilcials of the l'hillle? acted a-i host,
to the presidents of the ? her clubs at

game.
"It was this w-ay," said Bill the other
day.
"Ketchel and I were both living in
a litile mining town out West He
S husky kid, and SO WOS I. We
i were just iiBtural enemies without ever
hnving spoken a word. There wes an
?arocter around the camp who
-.i tell greel itoriei These were
great long stories? 10 Ion?- at times
that h<- would relay one along for a
whole week. I liked him an?l he saved
his best one? for utO. Well, one day
Ste e came along, took exception to
I the length of one of the old fellows
stories and promptly tweaked his nose.
They ran around and got me to tell
what had happened. Thero was a chip
as big as a life boat on my shoulder
right orT the reel
"I tore around and Ketchel ami I
fought all over the town. We dusted
the main street for it's entire length.
Modes?;.- prevente my naming the
! winner, but I'll say this for the scrap
i It is ?till voted the classic of that re?
gion.
"Fighting for a living never entered
i my head until I picked up a California
' paper one day and read about Ketchel
knocking out Joe Thomas for the
world's middleweight title. "Well.
?ays I to myself saps, I. If that bird
can get away with it, I can. So I be?
