    Washington Times, March 29, 1913:

    Ty Cobb and Eppa Rixey are about the only holdouts still holding out and nobody knows exactly what Rixey’s kick is. Mr. Rixey is in daily communication with the emperor of Japan and the khedive of Egypt in regard to his grievances, but he neglects to address a part of his correspondence to [Phillies owner] Will H. Locke or [Phillies manager] C.S. Dooin.

    He was busy in college, man. College!

    Ogden Evening Standard, January 7, 1913:

    Eppa Rixey, Jr., one of the National league pitching sensations…has written to Manager Dooin requesting permission to refrain from reporting next season until June, dodging the training trip to Southern Pines, N.C.

    Rixey explained that he is taking a course in chemistry at the University of Virginia, and wishes to finish his studies before reporting. He promises to keep in shape by work in the university gymnasium.

    “No.”
