Mascot Grant, the ebony second baseman, is not likely to play with the Buffalos this year. Manager Rowe has been looking for Grant and Cliff Carroll with a view to signing them. Grant played with the Cuban Giants in Washington yesterday, and in reply to an inquiry said he would sign only for $250 a month. This is considered too high, and the other members of the nine threaten to rebel if he plays. Last year they refused to have their pictures taken on Grant's account, and objected to traveling with him. They boys acknowledge that he is a good player, but they are in rebellion just the same. Their sentiment is that colored men should not play with white men.
