PHIL. GEIER SIGNS.
Another National League Player Goes
Over fo the American.

Another National League Player Goes
Over to the American.
Phil Geier, the well-known Washington
player, who is held upon the reserve list Of
the Cincinnati, National League, club, has
signed contract for the coming season
with the Philadelphia club of the American
League. Geier has been keeping quiet ever
since the agitation in base ball circles be-
gan, and it was reported that he was slat-
ed for the captaincy Of the Washington
American Association team. With the de-
mise OF that organization Manager Connie
Mack opened up communication with Geier
and for the past week there has been a
constant flow of letters between the two
Last night Geier wired his terms and an
acceptance of the same, with contract
was received from Philadelphia this morn
ing.
When seen this morning Geier said that
he did not know to what position he would
be assigned, but that he thought he would
be in the outfeld, as he had done his best
WSrk in the American League in the outer
garden.
Last season when President Brush of
the Cincinnati club drafted Geier the terms
offered were not to the Washington boy s
idea of his worth, and as a result he was
late reporting. When Geier finally ofound
that he would have to play in Cincinnati
or remain out Of the game he telegraphed
to Brush for transportation. This was
telegraphed him the same night, but when
the first pay day rolled around Geier found
they had taken his car fare, something
like SIT, from his salary. This was a small
sum to a magnate, but to Geier it had the
appearance of petty spite, and when the
time came to repay it he did IT with inter-
est. Mr.. Brush is having hard work draft
ing his players, and can i'll afford to let
a player like Gefer get away from him, so
that the small sum of SIT has proved q
costly saving for him
