The pis sage of de bill will mean an annul increase of i.-arly ?k',iMj to the payroll of the hremtZ and this year, should the bill o pass.d, :ho city will have to pay tl.aut $-r."0 to th- liremen, and I suppose the Ceimcil will hive to inake temporary loans to meet the iue"oers for salaries.

It is also said the members of the Board cf Saf.ty are woiking for the bill because their ray will b- increased from $')0 to Jl.tVo a year and p -.ssibly more. I think the raeinU-rs of that board already receive sufficient salary in view of the fact that the members of the iark Hoard, who devote r.eaily as much tluie to their work, receive ro c-ni;ensation. Tl.e fact that about forty tir.un n wer- lobbying tor the passage Cf th- hill yesfni:vy shows that the Uoard tt Sifety is favoring it, for the board would n. ver it riiiit that many men to leave th ir duty r such work if it were rot in faer of t bill.

John T. Brush returned to Indianapolis yesterday from the National League meeting In New York, lie wore a ?mile, but just how much power was used to force such 3 brilliant smile to his faco is not known. From his appearance one would judge that the recent meeting, was most harmonious and that he succeeded in getting the co-operation of all the League magnates In his pet schemes. Hut ho did not and he would not discuss the whys and wherefores. He said he had nothing to say. Messrs. Havener and Quin, of Milwaukee,, and Koch, of Detroit, were in the city yesterday to see President Watkins, of the Indianapolis club. Watkins told them just what happened in New York. The gentlemen all lost considerable money as a result of the death of the American Association. The scheme of a new organization Wits discussed and if the plans materialize Quin will have a club in Milwaukeeand Koch one in Detroit. It is possible that a new league will 1k formed comprising Indianapolis. Louisville, Detroit, Milwaukee. Tort Wayne, Toledo, Columbus and Dayton. Such a league may bo made to pay notwithstanding there are a few weak cities in the list. Indianapolis will have a baseball ciub even if tho new league should not be formed. XXX , President Watkins says he has the signed contracts of fifteen players in his safe and he will have a good team in Indianapolis this season. May be when Pan Johnson's organization whips the National League this season Indianapolis may have something real good next season. All prejudice in the matter thrown to tho winds, it begins to look as if Pan Johnson will give the National League a harder battle than the latter bargained for. Such a thing us a compromise between the two organizations is not impossible under the existing circumstances. xxx Vice President C. '. Somers, of. the American Paseball League, announced yesterday that James J. Collins and Hugh Duffy, who played second base and centerfield, respectively, for the Posten National league club last year, have signed contracts with the American League. Collins will manage the Poston American League club, while Duffy goes to Milwaukee to manage the American league team in that city. Although this announcement was not entirely unexpected it created a sensation in baseball circles. Discussing th matter, Mr. Somers said: "This is only the beginning. Similar announcements may be expected to follow shortly. We are not asking players to break any legal contract with the National League people. Put we hold that the option clause in the National League contract is not valid, and therefore practically all players are free to sign American League contracts if they so desire-." Mr. H. L. Taylor, attorney for the Players Protective Association, wired Mr. Somers as follows: "All barriers removed. National League players free to sign with any league." Hugh Duffy, who was in Cleveland in conference with Vice President Somers yesterday, severely criticised the action of President Zimmer, of the players association, in slsningr n agreement with the National League tending to prevent the players from changing from one league to another. "Zimmer had no authority whatever," said Duffy, "to take such action and the players will not stand for it." xxx The call for the final meeting and organization of the Interstate Baseball League has been issued, the place named as CoJumbus. O., and tho date March IS. Anderson has riecbhtl to remain In the league if possible to continue her franchise. A strong organization has been effected in that city and representatives will lv sent to Columbus to close the deal w hereby Anderson will become a memo- r of the league. The players of the old team are still under reserve. xxx Tom Fisher, of Anderson, a brother of Chauncey Fisher, has been given a contract with the. team at Shreveport, La., and will leave for that city in about ten Jays. He was one of the star pitchers last year with Hloomlngton. 111., and held the record for strikeouts during the entire .oi.'on in any of tho leagues, securing tifteea in one game. xxx The Southern League managers met at Memphis yesterday and agreed to play one hundred and thirty-two games, commencing May 2. The clubs were given until May 15 to reduce the number of surplus player.- and get within the salary limit. President Kent's decisions over disputed players between clubs were unanimously approved. All players signed and claimed for Atlanta have been transferred to Selma. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS. Monk Way man has been barred from the track at New Orleans owing to a lack of explanations as to some recent questionable performances. Hanover College defeated Moore's Hill College at basket ball at Moore's Hill Friday by the score of ID to 7. The llrst half was a tie at 4 .o 4. Joe Frev, with Tod Sloan up. won the Farrallon'stake of fiYteO. at Tanforan. yesterday, from Articulate and Canmore. The course was a mile and a furlong. Time, l:5o?i. Joe Choynskl and Jack Johnson, arrested nt Galveston last Monday night by Stnte Hangers on the charge of prize Minting, will have a habeas corpus hearing before Judge Allen on Monday. The men are still in Jail. Sammy Harris, a well-known featherweight boxer, died suddenly at his home in Chicago. He was a twin brother of llarrv Harris, the featherweight fighter, who is now in Kngland. Although not as famous as his brother Marry, Sammy Harris had a long string of hard-earned victories IiV his record. Grant 11. Kby. of Springtleld.

Much interest was manifested in the basket ball game last night,' which was the last of tho series among the teams of the. city, and tho largest crowd of tha season turned out to see tho sport. Whi'e it was conceded by ill that the veteran Y. M. C. A. team would havo little tr uble in defeating Butler, who were their opponents last night, the latter team put up a game that was a mo.st r?;vcablo surprise to their supporters, a id their defeat by a score of CI to IS was in no way ciscredltable. By far the fiercest game of the year wr.3 that between the t vo liigli schools, and the enthusiasm displayed by the partisans cf both sides was something to be remembered. The game oeci leul the standing ot the two teams and is the last official chance to decide the supremacy. Tha .Manual Training team, conlldent from the former victory over their rival, started in to win, and th'.ir last. playing seemed an omen of 3ucess. To a considerable extent they played ail around their smaller opponents during the first half, and when lime was ca.'led for this half the score wis 13 to 10 in their favor. In the second hall, however, the Shortrklge players took a brace and every man mad 3 a determined elfort to get in the game. The Training School boys continued to lead for a short time, but he aggre?.3irene.-M of their 1 pponents constantly increased until the rcoro became tied, 17 II. it this juncture the Shorlnugc boys played like liends. and it began to look aa though there was a football game in progxess. until, when time was called, the score stool 2U to 20 in favor of the Shortridg High School. Then pandemonium broke loose with a vengeance and the boys hastened out into the corridor, where a fight immediately took place for possession of a wooden ax which one of the victorious students carried. The result several bloody noses, smashed hats i.nd a broken chandelier seemed perfectly satisfactory to all concerned, while the sounda of the old-time high school song, "O you must be a member of the I. II. 3. Or you won't go to heaven when you die." resounded through the halls as the victors marched away. This game demonstrated the fact that Dunning is one of the brightest stars on the ShortrMge team, with Clark a close second. These two, by the way, are the smallest players on any of the teams. Kaylor, of the Training School team, also did magnificent work, his goal throwing trom fouls and putting the ball in play from center being especially good.

fl BALL PLAYER'S CRIME TAYLOR, OP M?I!RA5KA INDIANS, SHOT A FORMER SWEETHEART. "Watched for Her from n LodKlnir HouMC Window Killed Her in a Crowded Kansas City Street. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. March 2.-Ruth Nollard, eighteen years old, was shot and killed on the street this afternoon by Bud Taylor, twenty-three years of age, a baseball player, formerly her sweetheart, with whom she had quarreled. The girl and her sister were walking along Ninth street, near Broadway, in a crowded business district of the city. Taylor, sitting In the window of a second-story room in a lodging house opposite, fired three shots from a repeating rifle. Two bullets struck her, one passing entirely through the chest and the other entering just belcw the heart and lodging near the fifth rib at the back. She died in less than an hour. Miss Xollard lay bleeding on the sidewalk ten minutes, a great crowd gathering meanwhile. The police arrested Taylor in the lodging house room, and had difficulty in getting him through the mob. many members of which clamored for tho lynching of the murderer. Miss Nollard and Taylor had been engaged to be married, but disagreed a month ago, and the girl forbade Taylor to come to her heme. About two weeks ago Taylor choked her almost into insensibility and threatened to kill her at the first opportunity. He was arrested on complaint of MIs-j Nollard for assault with 'intent to kill, and was released on bond two weeks ago. His trial was to have taken place next Wednesday. Taylor rented a room in the lodging house three days ago. The landlord says he stayed in the room during the daytime and it is supposed he had sat in the window for many hours, rifle in hand, awaiting an opportunity to pick oft the girl without striking others in the crowded streets. She was 111 the habit of passing that way every day. Taylor did not fire when Miss Nollard was opposite the window, but waited until sh-j had gone past fifty feet, making sure o' not injuring her sifter, who was with her. Last year Taylor played ball with an Eastern team and the year before he played v ith the Nebraska Indians. Miss Nollaid lived with her father and was a dry good? clerk. NEVSPAPERS CRITICISED.
