ST. LOUIS. Feb. s.-Twenty-nve
players will go to the Browns train

Bobby Quinn. This means that at
least two men now on the reserve list
must be dropped.
1t appears quite in order right now
to scan the list OF players under
Fielder Jones wing and separate the
likely from the unlikely. Whether
Quinn will sanction the appended list
remains to be answered, but anyhow,
here goes:

Hale. Infelders-Austin, MaiseI

Johns and Sisler. Outfelders-Tobin,
Williams, Demmitt and Smith.
Ernie Koob is doubtful, as the slim
southpaw is seeking admission to the

took the count at the hands OF a
Richmond hotel waiter some thirty
years ago. A coffee pot was wrung
against Sullivan's head, a chair
broken and the negro waiter chased
to the roof Of Murphy's Hotel, whore
he remained three days. Or until the
famous pugilist left town. And hot"
pepper was the cause of it all.
Directing to being served cayenne
pepper. John L. summoned William
Miller. head waiter. An argument
ensued and Sullivan made a pass at
the negro. The head walter con-
strued Sullivan's act as deliberately
and hurled the coffee pot
squarely against the champions
head.
Sullivan dived at Miller and. the
latter broke a chair over John LIS
head and shoulders. At this stage
the atmosphere was warmer than
the disputed Cayenne pepper.
Miller sought safety in fight and
crawled to the root OF the hotel.
When he came from above" three
days later he was nearly starved. The
Police Gazette OF that period re-
cords the incident showing photo
graphs Of the coffee receptacle and

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. S.-Grover
Cleveland Alexander. here on a per.

in his decision not to act as 4 foot

dent Of the Phillies, and Charlie
Weeghman, president OF the Cubs.

concerning my case and want all
my friends in PhIiadelphia to know

It am not a holdout in the strict
sense of the word, for I am already
under contract for 1918. l signed a
contract last winter for a term Of

contract, which does not expire until
next October, is transferred to the

galley slave. My trust in organized
baseball has been dispeIled. Ny
wishes have never been sought or re-
garded in the slightest. Yet there is
a fine thing called the Constitution of
the United States. There Is nothing
compelling me To report to Mr.
Weeghman and make a fortune for
Mr.. Baker.
Unless I receive a bonus OF at
least SIC, 900 l will not pitch one ball
next season Then Mr.. Weeghman
and Mr.. Baker can go to the mat and
have a pound-ofhesh battle and see
where they stand.
Already they are worried. One
large payment has already been made.
Baker wants the money and WeeKh-
man wants me, and both will be dis
appointed II I am not going to have
my interests protected. It's all very
good for two wealthy men to sit down
at a table over siphons and make
a football out of me, but IL they think
they can sidetrack me and do any
thing they please they are mistaken.
Nothing Against weeghman.
81 have nothing against Mr.. Weegh-
man. His words have the ring of
sportsman, and he was acting in good
faith when he purchased me. Iwoulc
much rather be sold by Baker TO
Weeghman than by Weeghman TO
Baker.
81 have been in baseball seven years
and never have heard OF a player who
has been worse treatd.
II am not a drunkard, an anarchist,
or an undesirable 1 have always
worked hard for the success of my
team. Ny record will stand any at
tack. In the last three seasons I
have won thirty games or more a
year. Look over the records and you
will see that men who have had
biEEer reputation than me and served
4 longer number OF years have not
done so well.

Many humorous incidents are rela-
ted about the knock out" tour. Sui
livan was indeed the idol OF the coun-
try and proved to the satisfaction Of
the folIowers OF the prize ring that he
was indeed a champion OF champions.
In many instances local celebrities,
expecting to win by boxing Sullivan
were knocked out in as short time as
twenty seconds.
Pieked big Men only.
Sullivan never took a fighter on un-
less the man measured up physically.
II Is said that re. often refused to
fight small men, and many times gave
large sums 10, those who were game
enough to stand punishment. One
punch often sufficed to put an end to
the aspir6tions Of town scrsppers and
the champion.
In, January, 1884. Sullivan defeated
Fred Robinson at Butte, Mont. George
NJ. Robinson was stopped In four
in San Francisco in March; !;
Alex Marx. Dan Dewey, and William
Fleming were knocked out in one
round fights in Galveston, Hot
Springs, and Memphis in the tour.
Enos Phillips met Sullivan at Nash
vile, and had to be taken OF in the
fourth round, on the night Of May 2.
1884, just before the close Of the tour.
Paddy Ryan. from whom Sullivan won
the chanIpionshIp. forfeited a match
which was to have been held in Chi

While several men had made a great
to-do about meeting Sullivan, none
had shown ability after getting in
the ring with him. The champion was
not in strict training for year, but
was able to defeat any man who stood
before him. His greatest exhibition
OF nerve was shown in his bout with
Patsy Cardiff, whom he defeated in
six rounds.
