Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-03-04

Dunlap confers with Hanlon. The League
magnates meet at Cleveland Brunei
writes q significant letter to Presiden
Young. Several local dog fighters are to b
arrested.
Fred Dunlap is not disposed to be cast tt
one side by anybody without knowing the
reason why. The well-known second base
man arrived in the city yesterday morning
and mis- mission here is to find out definitely
whether he is to be Brotherhood man or 8
unit in the National League There Is
certainly big misunderstanding between
himself and other prominent Brotherhood
members and it seems as if Fred's salary OF
last year. S. 0eO is little too steep for the new
League people to renew.
Toa reporter Dunlap stated his case as fol.
lows yesterday:
DUNLAP EXPLAINS.
~ am here for two purposes" said he. 81
want to know where l stand. 1t is true l told
Hanlon in New York recently that l wouldn't
play under him. but what right has the Play
ers' League to release me? l have returned
the release Hanlon sent me. They won't fool
with me- How is Hanlon manager of this club?
The understanding was that the players should
vote on manager and captain, but l can't see
where they were given chance to do it. The
stockholders put him in likely. l don't sup
pose they think they can force me out, and give
the cream OF the Players League to these AS
sociatiun players whom they sign.
i have paid my dues for years in the Brother
hood, and have as much right to It's benefits as
any other member. Hanlon has roasted me in
the papers, but did reply. No, didn't. My
time will comen
"Wm you stick to the Players Lacquer
II can't tell just yet. The Brotherhood is a
success that is certain. Yes, guess the old
club people will take Inc back. Some people
say that l didn't play my game last year. Didn't
lead the second basemen? How does it come
thar Hanlon wasn't abused for poor ball play
ing? He certainly did some. l won't lack an
engagement. There is certain League club
that stands ready to take me right away"
MUST BE TREATED RIGHT.
Dunlap is determined that he shall be treated
properly by the Players League. He thinks he
has been one of the worst treated men, He was
down for stock in the Pittsburg Club, but it
wasn't given him.
In reply to this Manager Hanlon last evening
said: 81 met Mr.. Dunlap to-day and he GER
tainly did not talk to me in that strain. He
told me that be was here merely on trip be-
cause he had free pass on the railroad. He
is wrong when he saws players have to vote for
managers. They can vote for directors, but
that is all.
ONLY HIMSELF TO BLAME.
IF Mr.. Dunlap is in any kind of difficulty he
has only himself to blame. l have his own
written statement to the effect that he would
not play under my management, and have
also written application from MI. Love, of
Philadelphia, for his release. This application
is indorsed by Mr.. Dunlap and 1 submitted
these letters to our directors. OF course, when
MIR. Dunlap stated that he would not play here
they could do nothing else but give him his
release. He got it and then it seems that the
him So 600 for the season. We offered him
s., 500 as last year. $500 OF his salary was for
being captain. We have nothing to do with
Mir. Dunlap and it is to Philadelphia that he
must look because We filled his place here
after he requested and received his release"
