Dave pantorth, the pitcher for
whom the ST. Louis American
league club gave eleven men, finds
himself In a peculiar predleament,
When Danforth slgned with tho
Columbus team Of the American
association. his one ambition wa
to win back q berth In the, major
leagues.
DanioFth felt that he was good
enough to hitch in either the Amer;
lean or National league. However,
1t wasup to him to convince some
major league manager, +.
Dave realized 1t meant work and
effort to get back into the big show.
In order to protect himself In case
some major league club desired his
services, he signed contract with
the Columbus club that was q BIT
different. W
It seems the contract was drawn
up by Joe Tinker, who has since
severed his interest in the Colum
bus team, According to DaDfarth,
there was Q clause In the contract
which said he was 10 receive one,
tenth the purchase price III case he
was sold to a major league club,
/, AT the New York meeting OF the
two major leagues It was rumored
that several clubs were willing 10
go as hlgh+ss $4,000 for Danforth,
Such a sale would have Melted Dan,
forth $500.
The st. Louis club secured Dan.
forth by giving eleven players 10
the Columbus club. No money
figured in the transaction. Dan.
forth's contract called for one.tenth
of the cash purchase. Theauestion
is, where does Danforth get on? 4
Danforth Is apretty wise fellow.
He says that $4,000 would be- a
conservative estimate Of the value
Of the eleven players turned over
for him. That would make Dan.
forth $4,000 to the good. Dave says
he must get that amount before he
signs.
Possibly Dave is only kidding, and
that he will sign as soon as the ST.
Louis club sends him a contract.
The desire TO get back into the big
show, at a salary much in excess, Of
what he received in the minors, may
overcome his demands for part OF
the purchase price.
Business Manager Bobby Quinn
of the ST. Louis club Is quoted as
saving, It is q question that Dan
forth must settle with the Coiuni-
bus club, as st. Louis is In no way
involved.
