BARONS OFFERED $5000
FOR BIG DAVE ROBERTSON
BUT HAD OFFER SPURNED
Rick Woodward Offered Giants Record Price, But Failed to
Land Him—Federals Cause Tension—Impossible to
Get Players at Any Price
By REUBEN A. LEWIS
CHE Federal league is indi
rectly responsible for a
change in the policy of the
Barons. In years past. Chubby
Carlton battled until the months
of May and June, sized up his tal
ent, decided what he lacked and
then got the needed strength from
the majors by a large outlay of
cash. Last year, nearly 6000 shek
els were given to Charles Murphy
for Vete Knisely and Eddie Mc
Donald. And due to their prowess,
the Barons finished in third place.
In 1912, Rafael Almeida was pur
chased from the Cincinnati Reds
tor a fabulous sum, and the Barons
won the pennant. In 1911, Bert
Maxwell, bought front New Orleans
for a fat, healthy sum, advanced
the llarons into first division.
This set policy of Molesworth's
worked well In former years and
practically assured the Barons of
a desired position in the race. But
this season the chubby one essayed
the same feat and failed. Despite
the offer of thousands, option on
players and every other inducement
the majors refused to yield the
needed strength. The dread of the
player hurtling to the Federals
filled the moguls with fear and the
lid remained on, clamped tight.
* * *
Owner Rick Woodward was im
parted with the mission to land the
needed .300 hitting outfielders
late in May. He journeyed to
Boston, where he interviewed Stal
lings. The Boston Brave leader had
nothing to offer except Martin, an
inexperienced youngster. Imbued
with the hunch that Big Dave Rob
ertson, the mighty outfielder grac
ing the New York Giant bench,
would be more in harmony in the
Baron outfield. Rick sought a par
ley with Harry Hempstead, the
Giant mogul.
ill an animated littlo tete-a-tete,
the two owners bickered. Shekels
figured largely in the conversation,
but the Giant owner admitted he
had a fondness for Robertson and
conveyed the fact that he had been
»••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••'
warming me oencn ior »uuieuiiiie.
Then spake the Birmingham owner.
"I'll swell your coffers to overflow
ing with *5000 If you'll let us have
Robertson.” But Hempstead grew
reminiscent, thought of the eager
ness with which the Feds would
sign Big Dave and answered in the
negative. Soon Dave appeared In
the garden and thrilled the Giant
followers.
• • •
The offer of Birmingham to pay $5000
shows how eager the management is
to have a winning team. Had the
Barons given the Giants this sum
they would probably have a set a rec
ord price for the release of a major
league addition to a minor league
club. Birmingham has the reputation
of being the largest splurger in minor
leagues, probably secured by the fabu
lous sums paid for Eddie McDonald,
Pete Knisely and Rafael Almeida. *
It’s impossible to get anything from
the big league clubs this year.” said
Owner Woodward, as he returned from
a fast “pepper game" with his Barons.
“I interviewed practically every big
league owner on a recent trip to the
east in search of material, but. they
were not willing to release a single
desirable man. The Federals have got
them so nervous that they are keep
ing every man of promise, on their
rosters. I never saw such a dearth
of ballplayers.” #
• • *
A glance at the new additions to the
Southern will convince any follower
of the game of the difficulty. Hurler
Day, the latest addition to the Billi
kens, was secured from a Class D
club. Burke, the new outfielder with
the Turtles, was elevated from the
Appalachian. Wheatley, Works and
Paige were free agents when Mont
gomery. Memphis and Chattanooga
respectively signed them. Sindler, the
latest Tx>okout. was corralled from the
Newburgh club in the Atlantic league.
Johnny Dobbs was forced to grab
Pitcher Benn from the ranks of the
American association.
The high tension prevailing in the
majors Is appalling. Tt means that
it will be impossible for the Southern
league to add strength to the clubs,
although it is needed. The prepent
players will probably be cavorting in
the same positions when the curtain
falls, unless Ban Johnson and the
other powers decide to buy the Fed
erals out, adopt them, or otherwise
pacify them.

A fusillade of crashing drives in the
opening inning virtually gave the Barons
n u to o triumph over the Gulls yester
day afternoon. T«anky Arthur Johnson
maintained an unbeatable pace in the
early inning, while Keely’s dampened
slants Were batted viciously. The Gull
twirler was hit consistently during the
following sessions, but fast fielding and
keen play in the pinches checked the
Barons. Johnson weakened during the
last two rounds, when Larue Kirby's
bludgeon was brought into play, but
checked the spurt handily.
Eleven safe drives we^e registered by
the Birmingham hitters. '‘Tex” Coving
ton led the wrecking crew, amassing two
singles and a double In three trials.
Stewart, Ellam and McDonald rapped
out two in four times at bat, while
Knisely and McBride secured a lone sin
gle. "Tex’' Covington and Larue Kirby
were responsible for the real tragedy of
the contest. The Baron first sacker drove
in four of the five tallies with timely
wallops, while Kirby's willow sent two
Gulls across the platter in the eighth.
Scintillating fielding marked the victory.
Stewart and McBride bagged difficult
hits, while Marcan made a difficult stop
of Perry's hot grounder in the third.
The Barons perpetrated two fast double
plays while the Gulls experienced a per
fect day In the field. Until the last
round neither aggregation hobbled, but
Johnson smashed the record with a wild
heave to Covington.
Barons Greet Keeley Warmly
A warm reception greeted the visiting
Gulls in the first session. Marcan
grounded out, Keeley to Calhoun. Stew
art drove a dry liner to center field.
Miller lay in wait to trap the wallop,
but the pellet hit a rough spot, bounded
over .feis eager hands and rolled to the
flagstaff. Stewart 8 burst of speed was
not checked until he crossed the plate.
Eddie McDonald continued the onslaught
with a single to right field. On the hit
and run, Knisely poked a Texas leaguer
to Kirby and advanced McDonald to
third. "Tex” Covington responded nobly
field. The safety was proved barren for
both scored.
During the first four innings, Johnson
failed to yield a hit. But In the fifth,
with one down, Dobard singled to left
field. The safety was proved barren for
Keeley and O’Dell were helpless.
Covington’s willow added the fourth
run In the fifth. With one down, Mc
Donald landed safe on first when
O’Dell's return of his rap to third forced
Calhoun to enter Eddie's route to first,
with a resultant collision. Eddie baf
fled Schmidt by stealing second.
Knisely hoisted to Dobard. but Coving
ton singled to right field and the
Scotchman scored.
Kirby’s Bludgeon Active
Johnson weakened during the last
two rounds, but checked the Gulls in
due time to achieve a victory. In the
seventh, two had gone out on easy
grounders when O'Dell singled past
third base. Perry followed with a two
bagger along the left field foul line,
but O’Dell was halted at third. Laure
Kirby, who had previously been let
down without a hit despite two mighty
drives, strolled to the bat with his
threatening ash. The senior member of
the Gull wrecking crew implanted his
might behind a vicious swing and
drove the ball Into the wilds of the
sunfield to the temporary bleachers.
McBride effected a quick recovery and
forwarded It to Ellam as Kirby was
rounding third. Kirby essayed a home
run despite apparent death and met it,
for a relay from Ellam to Johnson to
Dilger nabbed him at the plate.
To Covington’s prowess was due the
last run In the eighth. Knisely drew'
a pass and stole second base. Cov
ington singled to left field and Knisely
outsped Manager Lord’s peg to the
plate. Covington reached second when
Keeley attempted to nip him at the
keystone and sped onward to third
when the throw went to center field.
Miller recovered the ball and pegged to
third, just in time to catch him.
The Gulls rallied feebly in the ninth,
but failed to change the outcome of the
game. Lord grounded out, Johnson to
Covington, and Schmidt rolled another
In front of the plate. Johnson at
tempted a quick return to first, but
threw erratically and Schimdt reached
second. Calhoun’s grounder to Coving
tori advanced him to third, while Mil
ler's single to right produced a run.
Dobard imparted a finished touch to the
spurt, by striking out.

ORGANIZED BASEBALL WINS
ANOTHER VICTORY AT COURT
Injunction Restraining Marsans From Playing Upheld—Most
Important Decision Was Holding Ten-Day Clause to be
Valid—Case Will be Tried on Merits
St. Paul, Minn.. June 22.-Organized
baseball won another victory tonight
when Federal Judge W. H. Sanborn
granted a temporary injunction restrain
ing Armando Marsans. former Cuban
left fielder of the Cincinnati Nationals
from playing with the St. l*ouis Federate,
or any other ball club except Cincinnati,
until the alleged breach of contract he is
charged with has been tried in federal
court in St. Louis.
While the action Is pending, Judge San
born ordered the Cincinnati Exhibition
company, owners of the club, to give a
bond of $15,000 to indemnify Marsans for
any possible loss he might sustuln as a
result of the injunction.
The validity of tho ten-day clause in
organized baseball contracts was upheld
by Judge Sanborn. He based his decision
on the fact that Marsans accepted a con
tract In writing In which the Cincinnati
club agreed to employ for a specified
period at a fixed compensation on condt
tlon that the club should have the right
to discharge hi if! on ten days’ notice. Th*
contract was valid and binding after
Marsans entered on the performance of
the contract, ami rereived the compensa
tion, according to the terms of agree
ment the court held.
Marsans has been a member of the Cin
cinnati team three years, the present
making the fourth year. He objected to
the ten-day clause in his contract and
gave ten days’ notice to the management
early in June, hoping, so he claimed, that
the obnoxious ten-day clause would bo
taken out of hla contract. On the after
noon of tho same day Marsans was sus
pended without pay for alleged disloyalty
to the team and for other reasons. Dur
ing his suspension he opened negotiation*
with the St. Louis club of the Federal
league. Mis suspension suddenly ended,
but the Cuban ’‘jumped” to the St. Louia
Federate, claiming his contract was Ille
gal on account of the ten-day clause.
The case now will be tried on Its mer
its. In the meantime Marsans can go
back to Cincinnati or not play ball.
