Text | [from the Pittsburgh correspondent] I had a short talk with [Ed] Morris Saturday afternoon, in which he told me that he was going to get his pay or start for California. He stated that the fine was all right according to his contract, but to lay him off without pay was something he would not stand. “I can make $500 a month out on the coast, and a blacklist doesn't hurt me, for the players out there are not bound by the National Agreement, and besides the Eastern players will not find themselves in such demand next winter in California as they were last fall, as the club managers are trying to get up an agreement not to hire any foreign players. Now the case is just this:--I'm fined and laid off without pay, and I can't live without money. I'm willing to work, and I want my pay, and if the Pittsburgh club don't give it to me, then I must go to California where I can get it. |
