OF leading one OF the cliques in the Chi
cago baseball team which was unfriend-
ly to President Hart. 1t says that Lapge
expected to be made captain Of the team
in 1893, and that when another player
was selected, he became unfriendly to
the management. Another thing which is
urged as making him opposed to Hart
was his friendship to Adrian Arson, who
was cast aside by Hart.
Lange Is said to have Influenced other
players more or less. but the men all
deny that this had anything to do with
the teams poor showing. President Hart
Is not the kind of a man to gather around
him psnnant-winning team. He does
not hold the confidence of the PLAYERS
and there is no reason why he should,
after the Arson incident.
