Dave Danforth, the pitcher for
whom the st. Louis American League
club gave eleven men, finds himself
in a peculiar predicament.
When Danforth signed with the
Columbus team Of the American as
sociation, his one ambition was TO
win back a berth in the major
leagues.
Danforth felt that he was good
enough to pitch in either the Ameri-
can or National league. However, 1t
was up to him TO convince some
major league manager.
Dave realized it 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 a contract with
the Columbus club that was a bit
different.
It seems the contract was drawn
UP by Joe Tinker, who has since
severed his interest in the Columbus
team According to Danforth, there
was a clause in the contract which
said he was to receive one-tenth the
purchase price in 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 TO go
as high as $4,000 for Danforth. Such
a sale would have netted Danforth
$1,000.
The st. Louis club secured Dan
forth by giving eleven players to the
Columbus club. No money figured
in the transaction. Danforth's con-
tract called for one-tenth of the cash
purchase. The question is, where
does Danforth get off?
Danforth is a pretty wise fellow.
He says that $4,000 would be a con-
servative estimate of the value of the
eleven players turned over for him.
That would make Danforth $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 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 saying
1t is a question that Danforth must

the new title. He usually has fought
lightweights, although he never
weighs over 130 pounds himself. He
fought Champion Ritchie twice and
Champion Benny Leonard six or
seven times, gave away from eight
to ten pounds on each occasion, and
did well.
The 130-pound class is not very
large one at present, but there are
some very good boys in it. George
Clancy, the knockout king from Bal
timore, is probably Dundee's closest
rival. He was giving the bounding
Italian a great battle recently until

K0ufPs Suspension

Denies Injunction

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Benny
Kauff, suspended Giant outfielder, to-
day was denied by Supreme Court
Justice Whitaker an injunction re-
straining the National Exhibition
company-the Giant owners-and
Judge Lands from continuing his
suspension from professional baseball.
Justice Whitaker held that there
were no grounds for an injunction,
since Kauff's contract expired last
October.
while the papers show that an ap

plaintiff, this court is without power
to grant the relief he asks" the de-

Kauff was suspended following his

1t is a peculiar situation. Techni-

a part of the cash involved, and no
actual cash was passed between the

MACON, Ca, Jan. 3.-Solicitor
General Charles H. Garrett and
city detectives have entirely aban.
doned the theory that r. P. Arm

are confident that he was robbed.
Armstrong fell from a third-story
window in the Saratoga hotel on De-

after the fall.
He is known to have had consid.
cradle money when he first came
to Macon several days before he
met his death, and it is believed that
he was drugged and robbed in the
hotel. Reasons for abandoning the
theory that Armstrong was murder
ed, according to the detectives, is
