ROW OVER TRIVIAL
AMOUNT IS WHAT
BARRED A|TCH|SON
Dispute Over $3.50 Caused
Indefinite Suspension of
Former Southern
Lacquer

New York, November 22-The trivial
sum of s62.5O was the bone of conten-
tion between the Brooklyn ball club
and Pitcher Raleigh Atchison last Au-
gust, which caused the indefinite sus-
pension of the former Newark star by
the national commission.
1t appears that Aitchison, whose left
handed shoots helped the Newarks to
win the International league pennant
this year, was under contract in April
for $500 month or $500 for the
season. AS his pitching improved. Eb
belts, MeKeever & Co, owners of the
Newark club, decided to reward Aitch-
ison by raising his salary to $3.50 a
month.
When Ebbetts, McKeever & Co, own
ers of the Brooklyn club, purchased the
release of Aitchison from their New
ark club about August 15, they allowed
him to remain with the Indians until
August 81, so that he could aid the
team as far as baseball law would al
low But on August 2S, he became the
property of the Brooklyn club and the
followers of the Dodgers naturally
waxed enthusiastic as they pictured the
young southpaw coming to the rescue
of Bill Dahlen's weakened pitching
staff.
Entitled to New Contract
Under the rules forganized baseball
Aitchison was entitled to new con-
tract to October 5, with the Brooklyn
club calling for a 25 per cent increase
in salary over the amount originally
named in his Newark contract The
Brooklyn club had less than 40 days
left for championship games, yet Ures-
ident Ebbets offered Aitchison q %
per cent increase on the basis of his
$500 monthly contract
Aitchison, so the story goes, noti-
fed Ebbets rather curtly that he would
not sign unless he received the 25 per
cent increase on $3.50 monthly. In short,
Aitchison demanded s437 so to finish the
season in a Brooklyn uniform while
Ebbets offered him 1915 Neither would
bulge an inch, so Aitchison packed his
grip and went away from Ebbets field
in anything but pleasant frame of
mind.
1t is understood that Aitchison car
ried the case to the Baseball Players
Fraternity and was advised by Pres
ident David L. Fultz to accept Ebbet's
figures without further delay. But the
young southpaw refused to hee dthis
advice and quit for the season. His
refusal to sign automatically suspended
him and he cannot play ball again un-
til the commission has reinstated him
Meanwhile the Dodgers remained weak
in the box when the sum of $62.50
would have added much strength to that
department, at the same time attracting
possibly increased attendance at the
home games

tought with renewed vigor throughout
the remainder of the quarter, but were
unable to cross their opponents goal.
The aggressive work was kept up in
the second quarter and as a result Wingo
was sent across for a touchdown after
the ball had been carried from mid
field by the powerful plunges of the Grim
son backs Wingo kicked goal.
The third quarter was a repetition of
the second, with both teams putting up a
desperate fight. Although the ball was
in their opponents territory for most of
the time, the High school boys lacked
the punch necessary for a touchdown.
In the final quarter the locals got busy
and as a result two touchdowns were
garnered. The first was made by Lathem
after the ball had been advanced nearly
30 yards by the backs. The third and final
one was made during the last four minutes
of play by Gillem. the ball again being
advanced from mid-feld.

After making a first down by straight

yards for holding and Newell was forced
to kick 80 yards to McWhorter.

that he will turn down the offer, as he

jobs without going outside of organized

After the first quarter the desperate
attack of the High school boys was ir-
resistlble, and the Pulliam line was shat
tered by the terrific bucks of Gillem.
Lathem, Davis and Wingo. Again and
again the Crimson backs ploughed
through the opposing line. each time for
neat gains, Each of the three touch
downs scored by the local boys was the
result of a steady march down the field.
First down after first down was made
by the Crimson. and the Tuscaloosa team
seemed powerless to stop the plays when
they got under way.
Defensive Work Good
The defensive work of the High school
lads stood out just as prominently as did
their offensive tactics. Time after time
the visitors were held helpless by the
great defense, and the climax was reached
when the local eleven, standing on their
fve-yard line, repulsed every effort of
their opponents to trod their goal line.
Then, getting the ball on downs, they be-
gan a steady march up the field, and were
not halted until mid-feld was reached.
After this their goal was seriously threat
ened only once.
The Pulliam and Brown boys scored
their only points in the first quarter.
Starting out aggressivey, they rushed the
ball almost to within the shadow of the
Crimson goal, but lost it on downs. They
recovered the oval on the 40-yard line
and a series of line bucks and end
runs placed it on Highs fve-yard line.
a line plunge placed it on the two-yard
line, after which Burnet was bucked
across for a touchdown. Goal was missed.
