In fact he went So far as to ask the Pittsburg management what they Pittsburg had not the slightest right to negotiate with him. He said he would like to play in Pittsburg. because 1t was near home, and he could run up nights and post the hotel register after he had played in the afternoon,
 "Dreyfuss must have thought pretty timated strongly that he would find work for Abbaticchio if he cared to cast his lot in the Smoky City. This looked to be such good thing that Abbaticchio opened negotiations with the Chicago National League. stringing the susceptible officials of that organi- zation in the same manner. He told Murphy. the head of the organization, that he had always held the highest regard in his heart for Chicago and Murphy, and thought he would prove bright and shining light on the Chi cago team if Murphy would purchase his release.
 Tn the meantime McGraw heard what was going on and imm ediately got in touch with the Boston manage. ment. which just as promptly revoked other club to do business with Abbatic- chic. and the player, who was trying to work three clubs to get a jackpot, had his bluff called so hard that he will now remain with Boston or with the tavern that he is keeping in Western Pennsylvania.
