Text | Mr. Wm. S. Gittiner, Secretary and Treasurer of the Baltimore Club, returned home yesterday from a trip round the country looking for a first-class catcher. He says that he offered Allen Hubbard, of the Yale College nine, a salary of $600 a month, with a cash advance of $1,000. Hubbard said it was the largest offer he had received, but that he could not accept it, as his family objected to his becoming a professional ball-player. Mr. Gittinger says he will give any manager in the country a bonus of$1,000 for a first-class catcher, and will pay the catcher himself an increase on present salary., quoting the Baltimore Sun |
