Cub Owner Says He'll Fight Players to
the Last Dollar.

Chicago, jan 19.-Indignant at be-
ing made the goat" in the baseball
controversy, President Weeghman of
the Cubs started retaliatory measures
today. The unsigned contract calling
for $4,000, returned by Jimmy Archer
was revised downward and a new one
sent to the holdout. Archer, last year,
received a salary of $500.
Il feel deeply offended because they
have made me the goat in this con-
troversy." Weeghman said. And |
am ready to take the same action l did
in the Archer case with any ball play
err who wishes it. That goes as long
as | am president of the club.
I am going to see this thing thru
regardless as to whether we play a
single game in the north side this
summer. And the Cub special Will
start for Pasadena February 20 if
there is not single ball player on

The Cub payroll last season was
81 $4,000. 1t will have to be cut to
$40, 900 to make the club a paying
business proposition, Weeghman de-
clared.
