| Text | Oliver Tebeau was yesterday released by the Chicago club, and immediately signed with the Minneapolis club. The release is a conditional one, the Minneapolis club and Tebeau agreeing that he will return to the Chicago club in case President Spalding should want him for the Chicago team. The Minneapolis club pays $1,000 for his release, and contracts to pay him $300 a month for the remainder of the season. Although there is a string tied to Tebeau his release had to go through the regular form, and President Spalding will have to depend upon the honor of the Mineapolis management and Tebeau for his return should it be desired. The Chicago club has for several days had waivers of all claims for Tebeau from all the other league clubs, but made no effort to dispose of him. Yesterday President Spalding told him he could stay with the Chicago club and need not do anything more than he had been doing and his salary would be forthcoming. This was not agreeable. He was not willing to do nothing more than practice and hold himself in readiness for a call to take somebody's place on the team; he wanted to play and for that reason watned to get away. Sam Morton tried to get him for the Maroons, but he was unwilling to play in Chicago on any other than the league team. |
