| Text | Manager Schemlz came East empowered to sell Dunlap's release. He had an interview with Dunlap at which, we believe, Dunlap refused to sign. Schmelz then proceeded to make a deal with Philadelphia and New York, too, we believe. This fell through, it is understood, through the high sums asked by Lucas and the difficulty of making a satisfactory salary arrangement with Dunlap a letter from Schmelz to Lucas is published in a St. Louis paper. In this letter Schmelz stated that the Philadelphia deal was off. They had offered $3,000 for Dunlap's release, but only wished to give him a salary of $1,000 for the season. Dunlap asked $3,500, and finally the Philadelphians would up by offering him the $3,000, and the St. Louis Club the $1,000. they would not lay out over $4,000. This, of course, ended the matter. … [Dunlap finally signed with St. Louis.] He refuses to say what his salary will be. When the $2,000 limit is mentioned he smiles a significant smile. His salary last season was away over $3,000, and he says the sum he will receive next season will be quite satisfactory. So people can draw their own conclusions. |
