 Atlanta asked waivers on Pitcher Ray Roberts May IA. Mobile claimed him May IS. Frank refused to let the pitcher go, though under the rules of the league he was compelled to do so.
 The Dutchman now finds himself coni- relled to turn Roberts loose, but has re- fused to pay the pitchers salary from May Is, the time when Roberts was offi- cially awarded to Mobile, although he had persuaded Roberts to stay with the Crackers during that period. Mobile most naturally and justly will not pay the player for the two weeks, and as Ray had no legal status during that time, and was under suspension by Mobile. it ap- pears that he has been euchred out of two weeks pay
