LANDRY WANTS TO
Be FREE AGENT
outfielder Who Was Sold to Superior,
Wis.,. Cannot Command His
Price and is After a
Release
BRIEF HISTORY OF DEAL

kuk Through Ned Egan Without
Thinking Of the SAL
airy Figures.
BRIEF HISTORY OF DEAL

Jack Landry, who gathered in flies
in left garden for the Keokuk team
last season for the paltry sum of $3.50
per month, wants to become free
agent, according to information re,
ceived here from Secretary j. HI. Far.
rell, by President NJ. E. Justice and
Secretary Louis Sterne. and it is all
because the Superior, Wis, manage
ment is of the opinion that it was
duped into purchasing the player from
Keokuk through Ned Egan, being I'M
der the impression at the time that
the southpaw fielder only drew SIZE
on Belts near pennant-winners
Ned Egan, then manager of Burling-
ton, engineered tie deal and made a
small piece of change out of it for
the player and Egan disposed of him
to Superior for about 1925, as near as
can be learned
Landry drew $3.50 month with Keo
kuk and his 1910 contract called fol
the same amount. Had the superior
club known this at the time they
would never have purchased the play
er. but it is doubtful whether they ~
quired about the salary The figure i:
evidently a little above the amour
dished out in that league.
Jack has petitioned Secretary Far
rell to have rim made free agent
and the latter has written lette
