Text	Joe Quest arrived from St. Paul Wednesday. He went to the ball-grounds there April 20, but found nobody to report to. Then he formally reported to President Thompson of the St. Paul club. Thompson asked him to call around the next day, which he did. Manager Barnes was also on hand. Thompson read Quest's contract and pointed out to him that it gave the club the right to release him whenever it pleased. Joe gave him to understand that a one-sided condition of that kind did not go in law and he could not and would not stand it. Observing a stenographer present he refused to discuss the question and told the club officials that all he had to say was that he was ready to play ball as they had engaged him to do. At this Barnes jumped up and said: “Well, let him go ahead and fight it if he wants to. I'll fight him, and if he gets the best of me it's all right.” This ended the interview.
