Louis. The Pittsburg club officials arc
not discussing the Lever matter so the
story stands for itself. The dispatch re-
ferred to SAYS:
THE dismissal of old Sam Lever by
the Pirates caused no surprise among
tho Reds. and some Of the .oys familiar
with the facts of the case said that
Schoolmaster Sam had behaved rather
unkindlv to Barney Drevfuss. the man
who had paid Sam big money for SO
many years and had kept him the
Pirate roll when he was practically
pensioner, not even strong enough to fin
ish games.
'Dreyfuss wrote to Lever not long
ago said one of the Reds. who claims to
know the story, and told him that it
was certain all the big league clubs would
waive him. and that he wanted to get
Sam a good position or a chunk Of money.
He said he would sell Sam to the highest
bidder and that he would give Sam every
dollar of the purchase money. Then Sam
could either stick to the minor club that
might buy him-doubtless to become
big card and its manager next season
or. If he found that he was all in. he
could retire With this piece of money as
a nest egg.

Sam thought 1t was a scheme to can
him and make something off him, and
told Barney to cut out the bunk--where-
