Text | [from Joe Pritchard's column] Ad Gumbert, has not signed a contract with the champions, and President Von der Ahe is not buying pools that he will. His release was purchased from the Zanesville Club for the sum of $1,500, the Zanesville people to draw on Von der Ahe for that amount as soon as Gumbert attached his signature to a regular contract. Gumbert now refuses to sign. It seems that the Zanesville people promised Gumbert one-third of the purchase money, or about that amount (which would be $500), and they have refused to hand him over any of this amount, hence his refusal to sign. |
