Muggsy McGraw Once Offered
$4,000 for Marty O'Toole;;
Doesn't Pay That Sum Now

Marty O'Toole. baseball's highhest-
priced athlete, has been sold to the
New York Giants, the figure not being
made public by the Pittsburgh own
er. No players were involved in the
deal This came as a climax to Nc
Graw's efforts to get the spitball
pitcher, efforts which date back to
the days of 1911. when O'Toole was
setting the American association afire
by his wonderful hurling and becom-
ing the most sought for player in the
game. Sixteen clubs were after his
services and Dreyfuss won out by
minutes. paying s22,5OO for his con-
tract and agreeing to turn over two
players to the ST. Paul CLUB.
When the offers for O'Toole passed
the $4,000 mark thirteen Of the six
teen clubs dropped out of the running,
leaving the Chicago White Sox. the
Giants and Pirates still in the fight.
Mike Cantillon was looking after the
Comiskey end of the deal. having or

TO PLAY A SERIES

Duluth. Mimi. Sept 3.-Presiden+
Blume Of the Duluth Baseball asso-

the Winnipeg team. The games will
be played at Athletic park on Sep

DULUTH TEAM HAS
A TIGHTER GRIP
Little more Comfortably Sit
uated on Top-Darby
O'Brien Day.

Duluth, Mimi. Sept s.-The Docks
now have a more comfortable bulge
on Winnipeg in the pennant race and
if the Duluth boys keep up the pace
and have ordinary good luck it looks
as if the Northern league flag will
ride at the top of the pole at Athletic
park all next season.
The Docks are a game and a half
ahead of the Peggers as a result of
Tuesdays games and IL they can keep
the tail-enders where they belong in
the present series they probably will
stay at the top. Winnipeg has a
series on with Virginia and the way

saying he would go a little better on
Dehaf OF Comiskey. Robinson got
tne same promise, LEAVING only the
Pttsburgh club in the field.
When Dreyfuss heard of this he
made a secret trip to st. Paul. landing
there Saturday morning. The Pirate
owners first act was to get Lennon
into an automobile and go for a long
ride. When he returned the announce
ment was made that he had purchased
the pitcher for $22.500. Shortly after
the check was made out a telegram
arrived from McGraw telling Lennon
that his final offer was $2S,O0O, while
Cantillon rushed over from Minneapo-
lis to remind Lennon of his promise
and to tell him that the Chicago mag
nate had ordered him to go as high
as 100000 for the sensation.
Since that time O'Toole's work with
the Pirates has been poor. Waivers
nave been asked on him time and
again, only to be withdrawn, and now'
the announcement is made that Mar
ty is to become Giant. McGraw
saved many thousands Of dollars by
not sending that telegram few min
utes earlier. 1t was announced later
that the message was delayed in
