WASHINGTON, d. c., September H.
The local club has decided to fight
for the services of Pitcher Otey, OF
the Norfolk club of the Virginia
League, who is reported to have been
sold TO the Pittsburg club. Before the
season was half over Cantillon sent
Blankenship to Norfolk to sec the
twirler in action. and when the scout
returned and reported that Otey looked
like conner tho manager made a
proposition to the Norfolk owners
Nothing was heard in reply until the
Washington team reached Chicago on
the recent trip, when Cantillon re-
,ceived a letter stating Norfolk was
willing to turn Otey over to Wash
ington for a certain sum. Cantillon
immediately telegraphed accepting the
terms and ordering Otey to report
here at the end of the Virginia season.
Three days later the local management
received word from Norfolk that Otey
had been sold to Pittsburg. Cantillon
took the matter up with President
Tom Noyes. and it was decided to
appeal to the National Commission. All
of the evidence in the case has been
turned over to the commission, but
no report on the matter is expected for
some time.
Cantillon believes that he has a
lstrong claim on the services of Otey
, and is especially anxious to land the
young player. as he seems to possess
| the qualifications of a good pitcher.
