amount asked for was about the cost
OF a second-class cruiser. and less
than one-third the cost of one of the

Eccentric Twirler Signs with Phila-

President Lawson Succeeds in Get

Play for New Team.
srscia1 70 HE Washington HeraId.

Special 10 The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia, May G-"Rube" Wadden
has jumped the St Louis club. of the
American League. and has signed to
play for the Philadelphia Union League
team fer the remainder Of the season.
The latter action was taken this after
noon. and President Lawson was instru-
mental in getting the noted twirler's sig
nature.
When the "Rube' announced yesterday
that he was through with St. Louis,
the manager of the Philadelphia
Unions, suggested that Waddell might
be persuaded TO play for the latter
team. and emissaries were sent out after
the "Rube." WaddelI finally was located
with some friends in a quiet Jersey re-
sort and was found TO be behaving him
self. After a chat Waddell was asked
whether he intended to return to St
Louis, and he replied that he would not
go back again with MeAleer as manager
under any conditions.
II am done once and for all" said
Waddell, "and 7 positively will not play
again for the Browns have been treat
cd meanly by AIcAleer ever since I re-
ported early this season, and he shall
never have another chance to belittie me.
The form I showed against Chicago is
sufficient proof that I am in good condi-
tion therefore McAleer cannot say am
out Of shape or unfit TO pitch. can make
a good living hy playing Independently,
but if you can see your way clear 10
make it worth my while am Johnny on
the spot 10 sign right now"
This was reported to President Lawson
this morning. and he at once started 10
see Waddeil The latter was found as
he was about TO go fishing, and Lawson
got down 10 business. II did not take
the two long TO come TO terms, and Wad-
dell signed to play for the Philadelphia
Unions. although not until he had assured
Mr. Lawson tina. he would not return TO
st. Louis.
When the business had been completed
Mr. Lawson asked WaddeH whether he
would be ready to pitch against Paterson
on Saturday afternoon and against Brook
lyn al the latter place on Sunday
"Will I? You can bet all you have got
that I will, and. furthermore, 1 will win
both games. intend 10 show the public
that the 'Rube' is as good as ever, and
I am only too glad that I viii have the
opportunity Of playing in Philadelphia
again"
