Weeghman Offers Archer Salary Change in Stand
Chicago, Jan. 19. Charles H. Weeghman, president of the Chicago Nationals, outlined a policy toward a recalcitrant player. He said catcher James Archer received a second contract for less money after rejecting a $4,000 offer, citing sentimental reasons and past performance. Weeghman noted the club’s $145,000 salary list last season and said $75,000 to $80,000 is about all a big league club can afford. He warned he will use similar action with any player who threatens a strike ahead of February 20 training camp plans.
