Show 'SEE ME FIRST,' SAYS TORONTO CLUB OWNER TORONTO, Jan. 28. President Mc-Caffery Mc-Caffery of the Toronto club does not know anything about the reports that owner C. H. Weeghman of the Chicago Nationals and James C. McGlll of the Indianapolis American association club are prepared to make bids for the services of Larry Lajoie. "If they are in the market for the big fellow," said McCaffcry yesterday. "I am tho man to approach. Lajoie belongs be-longs to tho Toronto club, and before anybody can do business with him they must seo me first." The story from Chicago Is to the effect ef-fect that the Cubs want Larry at first baseman and pinch hitter. McGlll wants him as manager. In the last few months Lajoie has been located with nearly every club in the majors and not a few minor league clubs. It is a poor day when he is not placed with some other team than the pne to which he belongs. Mr. McCaffcry says that if the International Inter-national league is iu existence this year Lajoie will manage the Toronto team, and no other, and that all guesses and conjectures to the contrary con-trary are wide of the mark. |
