President August Hermann had to at
tend his daughters wedding today
alone saved the news being wired to-
night that he had signed Pitcher Lew
Moren of Pittsburg for Cincinnati next
season.
Moren and Hans Lobert arrived here
this morning from Pittsburg. Moren
has an engagement with Hermann to-
morrow morning. when the papers will
doubtless be signed and he will get
$500 salary increase.
However, money is a small matter
with Moren, inasmuch as he spent
81 600 today in lighting four cigars
and threatened to go further into his
bank roll and might have done so had
not Lobert been present. Tonight
Moren says he will keep Lobert as his
financial bodyguard if President Fogel
