the player must have forgotten that he not

signed no other contract fer 1914 and that he
would sign other during the life OF tho
agreement with the Pittsburgh team. In adj
dillon TO this. Eays Mr.. Mccullough. Hedge
peth has accepted advance money from him.
according to report from Richmond.
Hedgepeth is said to have stated that he did
not Sign with the Federals and refused to
report to Atlanta. where no sent by the
Washington American League team. because
no did not want to leave his medical school
In Richmond before the end Of tho session.
Manager Billy Smith would not hear to

when the player learned this he asked Man
