| Text | [from W. I. Harris's column] According to Tim Murnane, who seems to have joined the opposition to the compromise, Buck Ewing is very unpopular with the men with whom he has been associated all summer. Tim says in a recent article:-- “Ewing's loyalty to the Players' League has always been questionable, and few of the members of his team ever speak to him as they pass by.” And then Tim quotes a man whose name he does not give, but who, he says, is “a reliable member of the New York team.” This “reliable” says “his (Ewing's) mission this season has been to get John B. Day connected with our club, knowing as he did that it would be a victory for him.” It doesn't take a divining rod to find out who this “reliable” is. Everybody knows who is the orator of the New York Players' team, and it is not necessary to name him. This little speech indicates why at least one of the men of the present Players' League team will not play under Ewing in 1891 if the amalgamation takes place. I do not know of a single man on the team who is not on speaking terms with Ewing, and I do not believe that there is one of them who will openly state that he will not speak to the great captain. There are several who are sore and who will rejoice at Buck's downfall. Buck knows who they are, but, with one exception, has no feeling about the matter. |
