The foregoing telegram rec
eived yesterday by C. P. Pugh
will set at rest the criticism of
those who objected to the salary
paid Dud McKinney for playing
the season with McCarthy ($247,
923.99) and also shows that he
was signed in the nick of time.
We only hope that this will not
have the effect giving Dud a
swelled head and thus affect his
playing on the local diamond.
