An IxTELL,aRNcER reporter yesterday,
and was shown the clipping from the
Times, he was going to train to see
a reporter for Pittsburgh paper OIL.
MIR. Buckenberger was calm and col
lected, as he always Is, but he denied
with some heat the Pittsburgh Times
report. In the company were Sam
Nichols, Jack Glaascock and other ball
players. ~,
"What does your contract hinge onr"
asked the INTELLlGESoER.
II will tell you; like Pittsburgh,
and admire the people-there are no
better on earth, but recently it came to
my ears that Director Temple, who

should have said this, except that he
was not consulted in regard to some
changes in the nine that were made
under my jurisdiction. And this was at
n time when Temple had washed his
hands OF all the dust that the directors
OF the club had to brush of their coats"
TEMPLE AND ''BUcE" FRIENDS.
"Temple and myself" said Mr.. Buck
enberger, "were the greatest friends; at
least be protested such relation to me,
and often said he would stand by me;
Now he has, as l understand, assumed
his position as director, and what his
change Of front towards me means am

"a Pittsburgh paper says that the
trouble originates from the fact that
you want to make Glasscock captain OF
the team"
"That is very silly. for the reason
that almost every team is allowed to
select its own captain, and when they
cannot agree the manager decides"
At this point Mr.. Glasscock spoke up
and said: "Why, how can that beH l
