Gossip Seems Responsible for Groundless Row Over Calvo, Love and Holland
CLARK GRIFFITH AND ATLANTA CLUB AT OUTS?
By (). B. Keeler.
READERS of that estimable pub
lication, The Sporting News,
are likely to gain the impres
sion that Clark Griffith and F. E. Cal
laway, president of the Atlanta Base
ball (’lub, are at loggerheads.
As a matter of fact, the!** two
magnates are in the throe* of a mild
misunderstanding And it is not the
fault of l/ouis A. Dougher, Washing
ton correspondent for The News, that
the difference of opinion has not
reached the loggerhead stage.
Which, in view of the close and
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.
Xnd it appears from a perusal of Mr.
Dougher’s own article, published in
th< issue of September IK. that the
affair is largely of his own con
struction, erected in a quest for fresh
basebill news that would be com
mendable were it not misplaced.
• * *
ORIEELY, it seems Mr Dougher
*■' stated, in a previous issue of The 1
News, that the injury to the arm of
Calvo, the Cuban outfielder sent by
Griffith to Atlanta, was kept a dark
(nd bloody secret from Griff when
; the Crackers returned the little
| Cuban last August. Also. Mr. Dougher
had something to say about Harry
Holland and Slim Love, intimating
that Atlanta had put one over on
Griff by signing up two players he
wag known tu be after.
• • •
THE following facts are well known
to the v\ riter
There was absolutely no secrecy
concerning Calvo’s injury at the time
he was sent 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 as
soon 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
as anybody learned it.
So much for that.
• • •
VY7 ITH regard tn the signing of
i Harry Holland, it is a matter
•»f open and public knowledge that
the Crackers were after Holland in
J 1912, and kept after him consistent
i!y until he decided to sign. It is
I hard b> believe that Griffith would
. make such a claim as Mr. Dougher
| attributes to him —that the Crackers
j 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
I lub to take the place made vacant
. by the illness of Whitey Alperman.
and it was that very situation that
induced Harry to become a profes
sional ball player—a thing he had
been holding out against for a long
time.
• • •
AND about Siim Love •
4 * The assiduous Mr Dougher
st til with the supi>osititlous authority
of Mr. Griffith, has ft that the At- •
lanta club’s directors, being tipped <
off by Griffith that Love was a de- l!
sirable fork-hander, crossed up their 1

Slim for their own use, in pitching
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
sessing wonderful speed and remark
able control. Mr. Callaway said at
the time that Mr Walker’s insistence,
and the confidence he had in his

signing of Love—and that the tips
from Mr. Walker constituted the first
