Before leaving for New York on Saturday
evening Messrs. Nimick and Scandrett
talked very pointedly about the probable
action of the League in the present troubled
state of affairs. Mr.. Scandrett said:
''Of course, 1 know that everybody is
wondering what the League will do; but
they need not wonder long. 1 think that 1
will be safe in saying that the League will
hold its meeting and transact its business as
If nothing was wrong. The League most
certainly is not alarmed at the threats and
declared intentions of some of the players,
The latter will certainly not be asked
to make any statement at the
League meeting, and those who refuse
TO play next season with the clubs with which
as we live the law will force them to remain
with the League next year, or they must not
play at all. 1 think the League has made its
mind up on this point SO that those capitalists
who are alleged to be backing the affairs had
better be careful 1 can assure the public that
there will be
A GOOD LEAGUE TEAM
in Pittsburg next year, and its makeup may
surprise somebody, That's all can say on this
point at present"
Mr.. Nimick expressed himself in similar
way. He said that agents are in various parts
of the country looking out for good young
players for the Pittsburg club. There
are plenty to get" said Mr.. Nimick,
and if the old players should ever carry out
their scheme it will end worse for themselves
as there will be more good players in the coun-
try than there ever was. This will certainly
bring down salaries Depend upon it, the Ma
tional League will take none the worst of any
conflict that may be started. If the stupid de-
parture of the players is persisted in, it will end
in several capitalists losing lots of their money.
frankly state that baseball is vastly more ex-
pensive than many people think, and this fact
Is brought forclbly home when we have to go
into our pockets to pay the players at the
months end. The League, at its meeting. will
Just 60 on and transact business as usual"
NO BIG CHANGES.
Neither Mr.. Nimick nor MI. Scandrett could
say anything definite on the question as to
whether or not the American Association and
the League would in any way unite. Their
opinions were to the effect that things will Just
remain as they are as far as these two bodies
and the minor leagues are concerned. 1t is
understood, however, that. Brotherhood or no
Brotherhood. Hanlon will not be manager of
the Pittsburg League club next year. Rumors
are current TO the effect that a new manager
will be engaged as soon as possible. Mr.. Nimick,
however. refused to talk on the matter except
stating that there will be a good manager in
Pittsburg next season. A friend of Mr.. Nimick
stated that the latter is still inclined to think
that Hanlon will remain with the old club.
Messrs. AanlOn and johnson, the Brother
hood representatives, did not transact any bus
iness of importance yesterday. They had con-
versatons with general prominent business
men who are in favor of the new movement.
Mr.. Hanlon expects to meet Mr.. James A
Chambers and Others to-day and sell some club
stock TO them. HanIon is ready to invest
5000 of his own in the club. He denies all
reports to the effect that the new organization
has collapsed, or that it is likely 70 do so. He
says there is plenty of money in the East for
club here.
Regarding the published statements of Jerry
Denny Messrs. Hanlon and johnson state that
it is nO6sate to believe any of these rumors
until they can absolutely be confirmed. They
believe that both Denny and Glasscock will
stick to the new movement.
