given him the club. Lajoie wanted to
stuff our rules down our throats. He
wanted back all the fines that had ever
been imposed on him. besides an enor-
nous salary. The latter | had agreed
to pay, but as to the other concessions

club went into bankruptcy. Under these
conditions | would not have Laioie at
any price. Why there would be no dis
cipline in the club. He would not sign
a regular league contract, and | don't
think you would have made a personal
contract with him, would you?
