M'UINNITY 1IAIHK1 A HOW.
President Kbbetts and Manager Han
Ion of the Hrooklyn club are wroth
over MeOlnnlty's alleged statement
that he had left the employ of the
Hrooklyn Baseball club because Eb
betta owed him $(100.
Mclllnnltr'a Claim.
McOlnnlty says thut, when he left
the Indian territory to try his luck In
the cast in 1898, he asked of tho. Bal
timore club !)00, and $l.f00 if ho
pitched good ball. In tho letter to
President Kbbetts he said he would
leave the matter of salary entirely to
UbbctUi. At that time the consolida
tion between tho Brooklyn and Balti
more teams was taking place, and
McOraw was given charge of tho men
and allowed to fix the salaries. When
McOlnnlty drew his first month's sal
ary ho was paid at the rate of $900
n year, although he had won
his games to date. He con
tinued to do good work and re
ceived the same money. At the end of
tho season McOraw gavo him $300 as
n present from tho club, for his good
work, and now McOlnnlty claims that
ho has $600 coming to him from &u-bets.
The Other Mile.
Mannger Hanlon says In reply to
McOlnnlty: "If I had known that Mc
Olnnlty had any grlovnnce I would
have given him $300 out of my own
pocket. I thought enough of blH abil
ity to do so. I saw him ovcry day In
Brooklyn during the season, anil ho
never even intimated that ho wanted
money duo him from the previous sea
son. The whole thing was settled by
McOraw, and Ebbctta and myself had
nothing to do with the salary ques
tion. 1 cannot see why he has been
so silent until now, If whut he claims
Is true."
Sir. r.bbrtti" Say.
President Ebbetts said he had never
received a demand from McOlnnlty
In any shape for money. "Why," ho
said, "this Is tho first tliuo 1 have
heard anything about McOlnnlty be
ing dissatisfied. Do you think that u
man would wult nearly two yeurs bo
foro making a kick of that kind?" Kb
betts produced letters showing that
tho salary question was left entirely
to his discretion. Kbbetts nnd Hanlon
think that McOlnnlty Is simply trying
to make the Brooklyn Club look llko
thieves, or else tho rumor Is absolutely
without foundation.

YOttNO 18SUKS MANIFESTO.
Tho minor leagues, which decided
not to adopt all of the amendments
made by the N''n i-arii to the
nlavlng rules, have been notified by
President Young that the code must be
lived up to the letter. Article 32 of the
Nntlonal Agroement covers tho case.
The minors nre therein required to fol
low the rules, under penalty of forfeit
ing their rights to protection. It Is
better for base ball to havo tno amo
system of conducting games In all or
ganizations, whether professional or
amateur. Without regard to tho prac
ticability of the recent chunges In the
code, It Is to bo regretted that the
American League games will not bo
conducted under the regulations which
will govern tho National Leuguo con
tests. Two codes will cause confusion,
not alone In the cities, which have op
position clubs, but throughout nmn
teur circles. Some of the college and
amateur clubs will adopt the National
Lengue's new rules, but a mnjorlty of
them will follow tho example of the
American League and observo the code
of 1900. The rule mnkers In both tho
National nnd American Leagues havo
the same object In view In making
changes In the game. They are Intent
on adding to the attractiveness of base
ball. If tho patrons of tho National
Leaguo show that they do not approve
the recent amendment, they will be re
pealed; If the American Leaguo finds
that Its games are not acceptublo to Its
supporters, the Innovations Introduced
by Its rival and approved by the public
will be utilized.
