CULLOP IN
new ORLEANS
Say That He is Lost on a Dia-
mOnd That Isn't Wingy-
Grass Fields Bother Him
NAP PITCHER GAINED
FAME IN BIG TRADE
$4,000 and Eight Players We're
Given New Orleans Club by
Cleveland For Him

NEW ORLEANS. March 20.-Grass
diamonds will prove the undoing OF
Nick Cullop. Nap southpaw obtained
from New Orleans, for $4,000 in cash
and $4,000 in players, according 10
the dope they have on the young fel'
low down here.
Cullop Is without doubt the most
widely talked OF pitching recruit that
has been signed by major league
club this spring. His fame was CIV.
en- its biggest boost when record
price, or price that appeared to
break all records when II was laid
out on paper. was paid for him.
President Somers of the Maps and
Charley Frank OF the New Orleans
club, got togethey and framed up a
deal. whereby whole carload OF
players was shipped to New Orleans
for Cullop. The deal made a fine
story for the newspapers, with Char
ley Frank pictured as the real David
Harum OF baseball, and Nick Cullop
was known all over the baseball
world.
| Then came the boomerang. Nick
Cullop, 1t seems, Is not such won
lderful pitcher. He has been exceed
lingly fortunate in his young baseball
life SO the Maps tried to sign him
lup a. the salary that they thought
reasonable for such man. CulloI
had learned that he was a noted mar
I'm baseball. however. and demand
ed more money, getting some furthe
, publicity out o. the holdout stun
, Finally he rcpc ID at Pensacola.
Now Cullop, riding TO the bes
advices here has everything on
. wingy, skinned diamond. But whe
. Il comes to a grass diamond with II
tile chance for the ball to get wing
except when travelling across tn
skinned portion OF the field just bac
of the infeld. the youngster ism
there. 1t will be interesting to Sc
what he can do In the America
league circuit.
He cant hold a man on the base
although he is left-hander, aud h
fails to conceal the ball when pitct
ing, they say.
Outside of these few things. Cullo
seems to be real hurler. r. L. Y.
