MANAGER DUNN NOT
AT FAULT FOR TEAM

While the team Is in its present low po-
sition in the league and the poor luck
still continues IL might be we'll for the
fans to remember a few things about the
circumstances surrounding the team and
judge for themselves OF them.
In the first place. II cannot but be ac-
knowledged that the umplres for the most
part, with the exception OF Moran and
Kelly, have given the team a continued
black eye. Even Moran has offended
some in this. The work OF Conahan and
kerins has been a disgrace TO the intel
ligence OF the fans, not only in this city
but on the circuit.
from the first of the season and that has
not entirely left them yet for Jack Cro-
Minis arm and shoulder still trouble him
Barton has just recovered from his at
delight of the fans
In addition TO that however. the great
est handicap that the team has had has
been in Manager Dunns efforts 10 secure
good players. From the trend OF events IL
would seem TO almost the dullest mind
that there is conspiracy on the part OF
someone TO down the Grays and 10 defeat
President Powers in his attempt TO run
the team successfully This is seen in
the work OF the two umpires, who are
President Taylors known favorites and
money is offered TO players TO come TO
this city Manager Dunn cannot obtain
them
Dunn has offered at least two players
5000 per month and ther refused 20 bulge.
Grant. who is now with Jersey City. was
offered $500 10 play with the Grays. yet
II is said that he accepted the offer from
Burnham for $50 less. Dunn has tried TO
get other players by Offering n large sal
airy. but each time they refused TO come
here and went 10 other teams for less
Just what this means is "A puzzle 10 the
lay mind. but everyone can draw his
conclusions. The actions OF Offa Neal are
still fresh in the minds OF all and the
work OF MacFarland remains vivid.
Whatever else may be said. Dunn can
not be blamed, for the 6aughty manager
is turning over every stone In the effort
