| Text | Late Thursday evening [7/4] the old Detroit League Club sued the Boston Club for $500 and interest, and attached the receipts of the games of the Fourth in the hands of the Cleveland Club. They cover the claim amounting to about $4,700 in all. It is a move that the old Detroit Club has been contemplating all the year, only waiting for Boston to get here to move. The suit is one of the side issues of the Detroit sell-out. Boston agreed to take Brouthers, Bennett, Richardson, Ganzel, and White. It didn't want White, but agreed to take him for the moral effect it had on the other men. When they signed, and White grew obstreperous, it gave Boson a chance to get out and it agreed to pay Detroit $500 to take him off its hands. They secured the league's consent, and transferred White to Pittsburg. This was in March. After it was done Boston coolly repudiated the deal, and Stearns sues for its fulfillment. The baseball contract and its peculiar relations to law will not come into the courts by way of this suit. It is on a side contract only. |
