WHAT WILL YOU DO JAMES i?
Manager of Salem Polo Team Says He
"Won't Stand" Campbell Coming to
Portland.

Boston January 26.-James Carroll,
owner of the Salem polo team was in this
city today in conference with the New
England league officials over the Camp
bell case in which he claims that an
agreement between the New England
and Maine league has been broken. Mr..
Carroll says:
cat meeting of the league held in
Providence January IS, it was agreed to
let Roberts and Conway go to Providence.
LAS Campbell was the property Of the
league, each club having put up 500 for
his release from Rockland, only few
weeks before it was decided that he
should 90 to Salem, the latter club having
agreed to pay him his last weeks salary.
1 Manager Doe notified the mem hers of
the New Bedford club Of the league s
action. Campbell went to his home at
Woburn, where the next day he met Nc
| Kay Of the Portland club, who was sent
down by Manager Burnham. The result
was that Campbell was induced to go to
| ION hearing of sCampbell's action I
autographed Burnham my protest. l don t
ace how the committee on arbitration
has any power in the matter, as it was
simply a sharp trick of Burnham, and
don It propose to stand any such busi-
ness.
| In regard to the above it may be stated
that Manager Burnham has letter from
Secretary Morse of the National league in
which he assures him that his claim to
to Campbell is valid. The transfer of
Campbell to New Bedford was m affair
with which the Maine league had nothing
TO do, it simply being matter between
tbs Rockland club and the National
league. Mckay was not sent to Woburn
but was simply spending Sunday with
his family as he is accustomed to do. He
found Campbell in town and out OF a job
and with one weeks salary due him.
| This was q week after the disbandment
of the Rockland club. Mckay knew the
vounr man would be welcomed to Port
land and offered him place. The result
is that he is here and will stay here.
