"Our telegram, sent to him early on
Tuesday morning. read: Would YOU

League at your own terms?' However
we are willing to pay Mathewson more
money than he probably considers pos
sible. He would be big help to us
and we could make it worth Mathewson's
while to talk business with u.s."
Gilmore intended to leave here last
night for Buffalo. He says Buffalo will
surely be in the league the coming sea
