Text | Denver for some time has been after him [Tebeau], and last Saturday, before the Cincinnatis left home, the management was offered $1,000 for his release. Manager Schmelz yesterday (Thursday) wired all the clubs to waive claim, and received replies from Simmons, of the Athletics; Watrous of the Metropolitans, and Kelly, of the Louisvilles agreeing to the request. Manager Barnie was also asked to waive claim, but refused. Manager Barnie said the reason he refused to waive claim was because he considered Tebeau too valuable to allow him to jump from the Association. He thought that as the Clevelands were in need of a pitcher they should get him. Manager Schmelz was seen last night, and admitted that Denver wanted Tebeau, and would get him if the Association clubs consented. He could not account for Manager Barnie's refusal to waive claim, and remarked that if any of the Association clubs wanted him and would pay the same price they could get him. |
