EARL MOORE WITH AMATEURS

Former Buffalo Pitcher to Join Cleveland Aggregation—Refused to Stand Salary Cut. Earl Moore, formerly of the Phillies, Cleveland and other clubs, Is going to turn "amateur.” The quotation marks are used advisedly, for amateur ball players in Cleveland get the money just the same. Earl’s home is in Cleveland. He signed with the Buffalo Federals last year, but refused to stand for a cut in salary this season and quit the Feds. Now that Earl has an opportunity to play with the Tell-ing-Strollers of the Cleveland Amateur Baseball association, there is some question as to his eligibility and Hie commission which has charge of the games will have to stretch the

eligibility rules to permit Earl to take part In the games. According to the Cleveland Press, the managers in the league have a hunch that the commission will permit them to use any players not under contract to professional clubs and are scrambling to sign several stars who are now temporarily out of work.
