| Text | Dave Foutz, Caruthers and Hudson have formed the Pitchers’ Big Three Combination and will make Von der Ahe come up with the requisite or hold out. Caruthers and Hudson are both well off and can afford to wait. Long Dave has a stake made in California and can make money enough there to keep the wolf from the door and keep Chris guessing. The Sporting Life February 9, 1887 A few weeks ago President Von der Ahe, of the Browns, issued a call to all his reserved champions to report at Sportsman’s Park yesterday. Of the 15 men reserved only 5 responded--Comiskey, Bushong, Sylvester, Robinson and Gleason. The three pitchers, Foutz, Caruthers and Hudson, ignored the call, as also did Latham, O’Neil and Welch. They have conspired to squeeze the manager out of more salary, and he is in a terrible predicament. The Chicago games are scheduled to take place in three weeks, and the Browns are not yet mobilized. Mr. Von der ahe is mad, and threatens to blacklist every one. The Sporting Life March 16, 1887 Now that Gleason and Welch have affixed their sigantures to contracts, the only unsigned reserved men are Latham and the three pitchers--Foutz, Caruthers and young Hudson. These four men are still holding off for an increase in salary. It is said that all of them are asking $3,000. Asking and getting is two very different things. The Sporting Life March 23, 1887 |
