PAYING LAJ0lES SALARY
Cleveland Club Unable to Pay $4,000
Called For

That Connie Mack has not assumed
the entire contract of Lajoie is a be-
lief based on the fact that the CIeve-
Land Club made that sort of an arrange
ment with the st. Louis Club, last sea
son, but Laioie thwarted the transac-
tion by refusing to 90 TO ST. Louis.
Cleveland wanted to get rid of Lajoie
but while there were several clubs tina,
were willing to take him. ali bake /
when they learned the veteran wa
drawing $4,000 year, and that his
contract did not expire until the clcsa
of the season of 1915.
As special inducement. Owner
Somers offered to pay $4,000 of the sal.
airy. leaving $4,000 for the st. Louis
Club to settle. This was agreed upon,
but when Lajoie was notified to Join the
st. Louis team he refused, and the deal
feI through.
1t is most likely that similar a.
rangement has been made with the Ata-
letlcs, for there is no way to figure that
Lajoie at the present stage of his ca,
reer is worth the salary he is drawing,
yet he has a contract which must be
fulfilled, and as Connie Mack has been
under obligations TO Charley Somers
for many years, he is willing to help
nm out.-W ashington Star.
