Rock Island Argus., 1904-06-04

Edward Reed. the pitcher under con-
tract to Rock Island. and who was ex-
Pccted to report this week, appears
bent on seeing how many teams he
can hold jobs with at one time.
President NJ. II. Sexton, of the local
association. has word from Secretary
Farrell, Of the Association Of Minor
Leagues. that Reed. since accepting
Rock Islands terms. has been claim
ed by Crookstou. :. d.. i'm the North
rrn league and Evansville. Ind. in the
Central league, having accepted the
terms of both these clubs.
Manager Thornton the first of the
week forwarded transportation to
Reed at Terre Haute. but it remains
uHcalled for i'm the ticket Office there.
So it il presumed Reed has reported d
To some other club.
He had Just been released by the
Terre Haute management. after a
dispute over salary. when he was wir-
I'd by Manager Thornton. who made
m offer that was accepted by teIe-
graph. adding that ne would come on
ir q few davs.
The case will be taken up before the
board Cf arbitration. and Reed will be
obliged to report to the team whose
terms he first accepted after his re-
lease by Tcrre Haute. or take the al
tentative of going to the brush.
