Text	Ed Andrews is indignant at being sold “like a slave.” He says: “If the Philadelphia management does not want my services let them give me my release. I have been to considerable expense fitting up a comfortable home and I don’t like the idea of leaving it. I like Boston and the Boston players, and if I was unencumbered I think I would rather play with the Boston Club than anywhere else, but I hate these sudden changes. Brooklyn Eagle May 20, 1889 Boston purchased Andrews' release Saturday, and Manager Hart wired Andrews to report in Boston at once. But Andrews didn't go, and it is hardly probable that he will unless the Philadelphia management agree to give him a big slice of the money they obtained for his release. Andrews is indignant at being sold. “I don't like being sold like a nigger,” said he. “If the Philadelphia management does not want my services let them give me my release outright. What have I done that I should be sold?” Chicago Tribune May 22, 1889
