HITCH IN BIG BASEBALL TRADE.

at the. office Of the Giants this af-
ternoon.
John J.. McGraw, vice president and
manager OF the club, refused to state
the amount of salary involved or
whether Groh received a bonus for
signing. He said the terms Of the con-
tract were between player and club,
adding that agreement upon details OF
the contract required only few min
utes discussion.
'sGroh expressed keen pleasure at
the opportunity-t to play with the Gil
ants, said McGraw, and | can say
that the club is equally pleased to
have player of Groh's ability and
character ON our roster, I expect him
to be a big acquisition to the team.

which is not often seen on the
