ROUSH TOO MODEST
TO ACCEPT OFFER
Powers Wanted to Sign Youthful
Phenom for More Than He Was
Getting.

Ed. Roush tn, sensational outfield-
err of the Newark Pops. has turned
down an offer of / three-year contract
from the Newark Club, aceordi,.g to
the Newark Star. II IL reported that
r. T. Powers wanted to sign the
youthful phenom to contract for a
number OF years! but Roush could not
make up his mind, and finally decided
that Ii would, not. he, to his best inter-
ests to sign for so long a period rn-
less he got an unusually big igure on
fis contract
Roash at present Is said to be draw
ing about $4,000 a year, which is very
good money for twenty-two-year-ol
ball player. When they asked him to
sign for three seasons he concluded
that IL he was worth singing for three
seasons he should get about $4,000 a
year. or a contract calling for $24,-
eco.
Perhaps Roush was wise In refusing
to sign and then. again, he may not
have been. There Ia no telling what
the future may hold in store for ball
players. The times have not been ex-
ceptionaily good. and the high scale %
wages paid major league ball players
now certainly will not go UP If The
peace agreement 10 reached.
