grievance against the Chicago press.
The owner Of the Cubs recently set him
self on the trail OF "Rube" Schauer. n
highly promising pitcher Of the Superior
club OF the Northern League. The news
papers gave the matter much publicity
and the owners OF the Superior club took
advantage Of il and quickly raised the
price on the PLAYER. Everybody VINO
knows Murphy will not be surprised when
they learn that Charles Webb dropped
negotiations then and there. He Is quoted
as saying
The newspapers robbed us Of ali
chance OF signing RUDE Schauer the
sensational young pitcher from superior.
to a cub contract We had good chance
Of signing this fellow. but publicity
aueered the deal.
The manager OF the Superior club is
certainly a wise owl. lie is announcing
that we are after his star hurier to make
other clubs bid for him. and In the end
will sell him 20 some major cluo FOR
fancy price. Schauer may be a wonder,
but ! believe he will turn out 10 be the
choicest bit OF lime that ever came down
the thoroughfare.'
The Giants have made an offer 10 the
Superior club for Schauer. Evidently Nc
Graw is not so sure about that Time
matter.
