KAY MAY NOT
JOIN TIGERS
Kay, It is Said, Viii Quit Be-
fore He Signs Local
Contract.

Unless Outheider William Kay. the
demon fence destroyer. CLEANED by the
Newark Club from the Albany New
York State League Club by draft last
fall changes his mind he is done with
baseball for all time That is, accord
ing TO a reliable source.
The heavy hitting gardener has failed
utterly to come to any sort Of agree
ment with the local club on the terms
of his contract. He declares that he
likes the good old national pastime
and loves to swat the horsehide until
the opposing pitcher yells and pleads
for mercy. but he finds that It viii not
pay him to play this season.
Sir william declares that he recently
came across a business proposition that
may result, and has at least given that
impression-of developing into a rich
gold mine. The nature OF his "get-rich-
quick" discovery is not divulged.
Three different contracts and reams
of paper have been consumed by the
Newark Club in an effort to bring Kay
into line, but he has been a most per-
sistent hold-out from the start. Last
winter in a letter to a local friend Kay
said that he was eager to play ball
again. and that he was delighted to
tack on 70 the Newark Clubs roster.
It may be that Kay is bIufing about
quitting, but we would like to get q.
look at him, after all of the pleasant
things that have been said of him
heretofore by everyone who ever saw
him in the heat of battle.
