Text | [from Caylor’s column] In almost every case where a player is holding off for a larger salary his demands are unreasonable and untenable. When they can come to the club as John Reilly [a lithographer by trade] did and give written proofs that they can earn more at a business or profession than by playing ball, then there is reason and fairness to their demands and they’ll get what they ask unless it be more than the club can afford to pay. But when a player demands $3,000 or $3,500 for seven months’ services at ball playing, and it is patent to him and his feinds that he couldn’t earn a thousand for twelve months’ services at any other business, he has no just cause, and the club can afford to wait on him longer htan he can afford to wait on the club. |
