RUPPERT'S HOT REPLY
Answer to Minor Leagues Who
Protest Recall of Players.
Action Not Taken Until Every Oth.r
Means Had Failed-Presiden Co.
miskey of Chicago White sox
Would Not Assist.

Colonel Rupert of the New Yor,
American League club, when asked n
reply to the criticisms emanating from,
minor league cities upon the recall ~
players belonging to the New Yorks
from the lower leagues, said:
''The unprecedented number of acct
dents to the New York team which in.
jured their six best players, namely
Baker, Magee, Maisel, Gilhooley, Higb
and CullOp, coupled with the illness NJ
Fisher and GedeOn. and the detection
Os Caldwell, put the team in such q
crippled condition that there was no
alternative but to recall three of the
New York players loaned to the minor
leagues, viz, Aragon, Shocker ana
Miller, The recall of these players was
done only as last resort. We bought
Oldring to fill Gilhooleys place. Mr.
Huston and myself went to Chicago
to meet Connie Mack to try to buv
borrow or steal Strunk, but Mr.. Nacl-
would listen TO no proposition of aDv
kind, and perhaps properly so.
1--WE tried to get one of COmiskey'S
extra outtielders, but he would not
consider a cash purchase and we
could not spare any player in a trade
that would be acceptable to him, Wa
made overtures for TObin, but ST.
Louis needed that Outfielder. We ex-
hausted every effort to get big league
players and in desperation decided
that we could do nothing else but
bring in our players from the minors.
But we tried to make it as easy as il
was in our power to do so, for the
clubs from which the players were
taken. But bear in mind that we had
a perfect contract right to recall these
players. The optional agreement IN
der which these players were sent to
the minors provided that they may be
returned to us upon short notice. and
that we may in turn recall the players
upon five days notice. The several
minor league clubs were fully aware
of what they were agreeing to because
every one of them objected to the
recall clause and finally acquesced
in 1t when we would have il no other
way. We called Mr.. Johnson's atten.
ton to this clause in our optional
agreements.
1.-THE minors have repeatedly taken
advantage of their right to return to
us our players this year. In one In
stance they have returned a player
with an utter disregard for our inter
ests, and in another case have re-
turned a player on account of their
own peculiar financial conditions
Louisville returned Carroll Brown, CO.
lumbus sent us back Don Brown To-
rontO left Layton fiat on our hands.
Doe Cook was shunted back by Oak
land, and Cy Pieh devolved upon US
from Newark. 1t is a poor rule that
won't work both ways.
eve can't see how the minors can
object to our exercising our contractor
al rights when they so ruthlessly take
advantage of their rights. But even
had we no right to recall the play
ers we feel that the minor leagues
should help US out in our dire neces-
sity, for we certainly distributed
among them last year big sum Of
money which must have helped ont
not little in the darkest year base

An excellent story is told of Lord

eft OF transporting readers, it should
be explained that a dog when exhibit
ed is said to be "on the bench or

for damages for running over a sheep
dog, a winner of many prizes. counsel
for the defendant was anxious to
prove that the dog had had its day.
and that the damages should be nom

Unfortunately. Lord Coleridge. who
was trying the case, had dropped of
to sleep. and the evidence was being
wasted. Counsel's one chance was to
cause such a laugh in court as would
wake the Judge; so, gradually raising
his voice, he asked one of the plain
tiffs witnesses: is 1t not your expe-
rience as an exhibitor that when an
old dog has taken his place regularly
on the bench for many years. he gets
sleepy and past his work."
Amid the roars OF laughter which
ensued Lord Coleridge woke up with
a start, and judgment was eventually
