Gossip Seems Responsible for Groundless Row Over Calvo, Love and Holland
CLARK GRIFFITH AND ATLANTA CLUB AT OUTS?
I
By (). I>. Keeler.
REAMERS of that vMtimable pub
lication, The Sporting News,
are likely tn gain the impres
sion that dark Griffith ami F. E. Cal
laway. president of the Atlanta Base
ball Club, are at loggerheads.
As a matter of fact, these two
magnates are in the throes of a mild
misunderstanding And it is net the
fault of Louis A Rougher. Washing
ton correspondent for The News, that
the difference of opinion has not
reached the loggerhead stage.
in view of the dose ami
friendly business relations existing
between the Crackers and the Sena
tors, would be decidedly unfortunate
• ♦ ♦
AS far as our vision extends, the
misunderstanding is groundless.
And it appears from a perusal of Mr.
iMughers own article, published in
th* Issue of September IX. that the
affair is largely of his own con
struction, erected In a quest for freslx
baseball news that would be com
mendable were it not misplaced.
ORIEFLY it seems Mr. Rougher
* * stated, in a previous issue of The
News, th.it the injury to the arm of
Calvo, the Cuban outfielder sent by
Griffith to Atlanta, whs kept a dark
and bloody secret from Griff when
the Crackers returned the little
Cuban last August. Also. Mr. Rougher
had something to say about Harry
Holland and Slim Ix>ve. intimating
that Atlanta had put one over on
Griff by signing up two players he
was known to be after.
• • •
THE following facts are well known
to the writer.
There was absolutely no secrecy
concerning Calvo's injury at the time
he was a®nt back to Washington Mr
Callaway himself gave out the In
formation that Calvo had suffered a
green-stick’’ fracture of his arm. and
that information was given out and
published in the Atlanta papers a*
*»on as the extent of the injury had
been verified by an X-ray photograph
Mr. Callaway says now and he told
the writer at the time, that he in
formed Griffith of that fact as soon
as he learned it—which was as soon
.is anybody learned it.
So much for that.
• • •
\V ’ ITH regard to the signing of
Harry Holland, it is a matter
of open and public knowledge that
the Crackers were after Holland in
1912. and kept after him consistent
ly until he decided to sign. It is
hard to believe that Griffith would
make such a claim as Mr. Rougher
attributes to him -that the Crackers
went out and got Holland after learn
ing Griffith wanted him. so as to be
in a position to make some money
on the deal
Holland was signed by the Atlanta
j dub to take the place made vacant
i by the illness of Whitey AI perman.
and it whs that very situation that

sional hall player a thing he had
been holding out against for a long

Slim for their own use. in pitching I
and (especially) in trading
Mr. Callaway told the writer at the
time Love was obtained that he had
been urged for a long time by a rela
tive in Selma a Mr Walker, to get
hold of a certain tall southpaw pos

i the time (hat Mr. Walker’s insistence,
and the confidence he had in his
judgment, were responsible for the

nomenon.

i O o it does not appear plain why any
strife between Mr Griffith and
Mr. Callaway should arise, or be
fomented, in any of these instances.
Also, it is to be hoped that the
misunderstanding—if it really exists
will speedily be cleared up.
It is quite certain that the At

Atlanta club, appreciate the advan
tage of the friendship of Mr. Grif

that Mr. friendship for the
