Text	Is it true that Manager Phillips received $50 from President Von Der Ahe, of St. Louis, for securing George Strief for that team? The story goes that Horace told the Columbus Directors that Strief would not play here for less than $1,500, when the truth was he agreed to come for $1,000. in the meantime he was commissioned by Mr. Von Der Ahe to secure Strief, for which he was to be allowed $25 on each hundred less than a $1,200 salary, Strief signing for $1,000. When the St. Louis Club was in Columbus, Strief said he would have come here for $900. The Sporting Life June 10, 1883, quoting the Columbus Times.
