Gus Weyhing is released by the Cardinals but does not get the 10 daysâ pay he is entitled to. He gets a deputy sheriff to seize the St. Louis share of the gate at Brooklyn, but it comes to less than the $100 heâs claiming. Weyhing will pitch briefly in 1901 before calling it quits, the last gloveless pitcher in the majors.
