Charles Ebbets Will Not
Stand in Larry Lajoie's Way

Brooklyn, \. V, April 6.-Charles
Ebbets has decided not to stand IN
Larry Laioie's way if the veteran
ball-player cannot be persuaded TO
ioin the Brooklyn club. The owner
of the Dodgers still insists that La
ioie is the property of the Brooklyn
club, which purchased his release
from the Toronto club in a perfectly
legitimate manner, but if Larry has
his heart set on managing the In
dianapolis club, Ebbets will grant
his wish, in consideration of the
veterans long service in major league
baseball.
Ebbets will not yield without an
other effort to get the big French
man to ioin his club. Lajoie's bait
ing strength is badly needed by the
Dodgers, now that Zach Wheat has
refused to sign. The team has been
none too strong on the offensive in
its spring training games with the
Red SoX, which has all the more
emphasized the need of a heavy hit
ter like Lajoie, who led the lnterna-
1ionaI League by comfortable
margin last season.
Before Lajoie can sign with the
INDIANAPOLIS club he will have to re-
vert to Tronoto, and James c. Nc
Gill of Indianapolis, will have to
omen negotiations with James J. Nc
Caffney, of Toronto, for Larry's re-
lease. McCaffrey will have tS re-
turn to Brooklyn the $4,000 purchase
price. but probably will get as much
from indianapolis. Lajoie is said to
have been offered $4,000 a year by
NIcGin to manage the Hoosiers.
