MINORS DEMANDS TOO HIGH
International Unlikely to Invade
Virginia and New York Leagues

NEW YORK. January Tho inter-
national League will hold a meeting
here next Monday to wrestle with the
problem of making two changes in the
circuit for next season From present
indications il looks a if there was lit
tie chance of transferring the Jersey
City club to Syracuse or the Baltimore
team to Richmond.
Both the Virginia and New York
State leagues have suddenly boostc,
their claims for invasion of their ter
ritory by the Class AA league The
Virginia League wants $4,000 for
giving up Richmond. and the New York
State League asks $4,000 for its ter
ritory. This sum of s35,000 is far too
high for the Internationals to consider
SO it is very likely that the plan of
making the changes will be abandon
ed.
At next weeks meeting each of the
eight clubs will be required to put up
$4,000 to establish a war fund to
fight the Federal League. 1t is also
likely that the playing managers for
ext season will be announced Tho
test candidate for wild Bill" Dono-
ans job in Providence is Jimmy Ban

RETURNS BONUS TO FEDS
Signs Three-Year Contract With
Manager Donovan at $4,000
Annually.

NEW YORK, January 7.-Ray Cald-
well is back. The slim pitcher of the
New Yorks who jumped to the Buffalo
Federal League club last fall hopped
back yesterday. He signed a three
year contract, which calls for a salary
learned on good authority to be $4,000
annually, out of which will be taken
a total of $1,000 to be refunded to the
Fed club which advanced him that
much as bonus. The $4,000 already
has been forwarded by the New York
club. which will deduct it from Cald-
wells wages in three annual INSTALL
ments, probably $1,000 this year and
next year and $1,000 in 1917.
1t was none other than genial Wild
Bill Donovan, the new manager of the
New Yorks. who cajoled the big pitch
er back to his former love. Donovan
Waylaid Caldwell in his home at Sala-
manca, n. Y, near Buffalo, taking
along with him lawyer familiar with
the idiosyncrasies of base ball law.
They went to Salamanca yesterday aft
er having learned first the general ma
ture of CaldwellS demands and having
received permission the night before
from Col. Rupert and Capt. Huston to
grant them.
Ray an Operator.
Caldwell has been making use of his
time during the last few months to
earn money as telegraph operator
in his home town, working in the serv
ice of the Pennsylvania railroad. Bill
Donovan and his legal escort found
Ray busy at the telegraph key. which
he gave over to an assistant when they
arrived, and the three made their way
to the Caldwell home. The pitcher sum-
moned his own legal adviser, who in
formed him that the 1915 option in
his 1914 contract with the New Yorks
was binding in a court of law, since it
contained no ten-day notice of release
clause. Caldwell then readily agreed to
sign the document which Manager
Donovan had made out.
The redeeming of the prodigaI twirl-
err was the first official act of Bill
Donovan as manager of the club. Bill
has not yet signed a contract. but
the Caldwell affair reveals pretty clear
ly how closely in accord he must be
with the new owners of the team.
Wild Bill left Salamanca last night
and will be back in New York
this morning with Caldwell's contract
to show as Exhibit A in proof of the
ability of his silver tongue.
