TRAINER THREATENS
MAGEE WITH A SUIT
Kirby Says He Was Promised Two.
Year Job Last Season.

SAN ANTONIO, March a-Trainer
Kirby. who left the Cardinals a year ago
to Join the Brooklyn Feds. Is planning
to bring suit against Lee Magee. former
manager OF the now extinct Tip Tops.
Kirby alleges that Magee Induced him
to quit the Cards under promise of a
two-year contract with the Brookfeds.
During the 1915 season Kirby acted
as trainer for the Doughboys, but every
time he asked Magee about the prom
lsed contract the former Cardinal out
fielder, he says, put him off with the
remark that the Wards had been too
busy TO look after the matter. He as
sured him from time TO time, however.
that the contract would be drawn up in
a few days.
Kirby ultimately discovered that to-
morrow never comes. When the Feds
and o, r. got together the former Card
trainer was left without a lob. Just
before the Brittonites started South.
Kirby called up Manager Higgins at
give him his old job again, but "HuE"
told him there is nothing doing.
