Umpire Briody says the St. Joseph Club did the only thing it could in playing four games with Sioux City on Sunday, Sept. 15. If the St. Joseph team had not played, he argued, the club would have owed Sioux City $100. By playing the four games the Sioux Citys owed the St. Josephs $200. The Misourrians played the games, too their $200, paid their board bills and got out of town. Briody saw the games and considered them on the square. The St. Joseph Club, he remarked, had only eight men, seven of them pitchers and catchers, the vacancy being filly by an amateur, and under the circumstances the team could not win.
