Text	It is a matter of unusual congratulation that during this fight there have been no attempts to coax players to jump their contracts. That was a prominent feature of the Union battles in '84, and Tom Loftus told a great war story the other afternoon. It was on Harry Decker. He was catching in Indianapolis then, and Ted Sullivan wanted him for the Kansas Citys. Ted and Peek-a-boo Veach were on the stand one day, just back of the catcher, and, in the second or third inning, Veach held up a big role of one dollar bills. “oh, Deck!” he called, “look here.” When Decker's eyes sighted the wad and the nod he was wild to get out, and fable says he stuck out his finger and got hut in the sixth inning, so he could hurry up and join Ted and Peek-a-boo. He jumped, too!
