Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-08-11
That Ewing and the Whole New York
Players Team Will be With
the League Next Year.
SKILLFUL PLAYERS TO RETURN.
He Advises the Local League Team to Sign
Pitcher Morris, if He Doesn't
Want Too High a Salary.
GENTLE JEEMs CALVIN A KICKER
While BE Draws His Salary Regularly BE Says He
Hasn't Been Fairly Treated.

1t has often been said that Captain Anson
is the greatest ball player and captain in the
country. 1t has also been matter of rec
ord that this great man was a bluff man to
talk to; that he could not be approached by
common mortals without a go-between.
However true this may have been hereto
fore. this year be has been greatly thawed
out, and it is not a difficult task to get him
to talk on the all-absorbing questionable
Brotherhood movement. Every time he
stops in the city he has something new to
tell, and it requires no especial effort to get
him to give it to the public. Last evening
the big man sat in the corridor of the Hotel
Anderson with his crowd of players around
him, very much reminding one of hen
with her brood of chicks keeping an eye out
that none go astray. Asked about the ru-
NOR that Ewing would return to the New
York National League team next season,
Mr.. Anson said:
EWING WILL RETURN.
"Of course he will, and the whole team
will be with him; that is, as many of them
as Mr.. Day can find room for. All the
good men of the Brotherhood will be taken
back, but the poor ones will be left out. 1
don't believe the story that certain Pitts
burg player has asked to be taken into the
League team again, for if he did they'd
take him in a minute. 1 know if one of
my old players wanted to come back I'd
take him if could find room for him in my
team. All it requires is for one break and
others will follow. Plenty of them would
like to come back but don't like to start the
jump. I'd like to see just one jump to test
the validity of their contracts. 1 dop't
think they'd hold, and if this were proven
there's plenty of the boys that would take
advantage of it to leave the Brotherhood.
WOULD SIGN NORRIS.
eff were in the place of the Pittsburg
IN. L. team I'd sign Morris; that is, if he
is pitching good ball and can be had at a
reasona bic figure. OF course, wouldn't |
put on any fancy price at this stage of
the game"
"Do you think the Brotherhood will live
through the season." was asked.
Il think they will. At least they'll try |
to, and spend the winter trying to effect |
8 compromise. The players themselves |
needn't worry, as there's Ooubt but that
the skillful ones can find room in the
League, but the moneyed men will be the
ones who would like to compromise in order
to get their money out OF it. We had
thought of refusing to accept every man
who deserted US, but have at last decided
that they were misguided and now they can
return whenever they like. OF course, we
won't take all Of them, but only such as
viii be an improvement on our present
material"
CALVIN IS SORE.
'Have you seen Jimmy Gaivin?" was the
next question.
''Yes; 1 saw him last night. He's pretty
sore. Says they haven't been using him
right. He saws he has been getting his sal
ary regular, but in other ways his treatment
has been unfair. The fact is, believe that
every player in the country is getting his
money, or they'd commence to jump back
where they would be sure of it. 1 don't
think the players will lose SO much as the
stockholders. But l don't believe the sal
aries will be as high. know the Chicago
club will be little careful about now much
they pay next season.
Nov, let us suppose that the Players
League attempts to go on next season. Sal
aries will certainly not be as high in the
National League. For instance, the Pitts
burg club would go to their players and say
that unless the salaries were reduced they
would be unable to compete with the Broth
hood. The players would certainly consent
to a reduction, wouldn't they? Can the
Brotherhood. .outlive this?"
