too much of me- I'm not saying
that Washington is after anything
the Red Sox may have to part
with, but several clubs have at
tempted to dicker with the Bos-

they want of me, though, have
been ridiculous.
Just because the Red Sox haven't
been going SO we'll, I suppose they think
they can pick on me-" BY this time,
President Quinn had really warmed up
to the discussion. We'll, they aren't
going to do it. I'm prepared to talk
business, of course, if the other party

has Washington endeavored to lift
MacFayden from the Red Sox. but also
that the Athletics. Yankees and Tigers

such clubs striving to get the bespec-

well afford to wait until the last min
ute before swinging any deal.
That the Washington club has for
the second time in little more than
week abandoned negotiations for
