Billy Sunday, the promising Outfielder and
sprinter Of the Chicago Club. Chicago
people are by no means pleased over Sum
days release, az he had many friends in
this city who think that the management
OF the Chicago Club has made mistake in
letting the player go. President 6palding
says, in explanation Of his action:
81 SUNDAY was released to Pittsburg
against my judgment aid against that of
Captain Arson, but under the circum-
stances I could not do other than did.
That we let him 20 10 due to the continued
harsh criticisms Of one orstwo Of the Chi
cago papers. The result was that we took
Sunday OFF the field, because We found that
tho more the papers said the more it unfit
ed him for work, and the more errors he
made. He simply could not stand news
paper criticism. There was but one thing
him to some club that could offer him op.
portunities that he could not get in Chi
cago. He wanted to 90 to Pittsburg, and I
let him 90 there. IS the Pittsburgs club
handles the boy in the right way he will
prove valuable man.to It next season. He
il AZ honest % Quaker, and q ball player
[ from his feet up. never knew any man
to do better work IN the field than Sunday
at times did for us. He IL sensitive, how
ever. and does mot stand newsnnner crit.
.cism well. Is !.
The Indianapolis seems 10 be bracinp mn.
and, in addition to Paul Hines, says that ii
will secure two,or three other players next
season that will enable d. to play ball along
with the rest Of them. Detroit will have
about the same old team next year. Phila-
delphia will have practically the same team,
