  • 1918: Jack Quinn is Pacific Coast League pitcher!
  • Yankees and White Sox both want him!
  • Comiskey deals directly with player...
  • Yankees deal with his club!
  • Quinn signs with Chicago, wins 5 games for Sox!
  • Yanks protest, Johnson awards him to New York!
  • Baseball's National Commission had given Comiskey the okay to deal directly with Quinn

    When they reversed themselves it seemed arbitrary, capricious, and unfair--
    and Comiskey held Johnson responsible
