| Text | The Players' League has a bomb under the National League the fuse is already attached and nothing remains but to apply the torch. The fireworks will go off promptly at the close of the present championship season. From what can be learned the National league must be prepared for treachery within its won ranks, and all signs point to Cincinnati and Brooklyn as the clubs which will give their associates the knife. After the recent conference of the Players' magnates in New York it was given out that only routine business was transacted, and that the meeting had unanimously decided to take no steps looking to an amalgamation with the American Association. Of course not. The amalgamation scheme was only a blind to throw the reporters off the real scent. … Now, the question is, will Byrne jump? It makes no difference about Cincinnati. Stern would be forced to follow Byrne's lead. While the brainy little Brooklyn president has fought the Brotherhood movement hard this year, it doesn't follow that he is going to stand in his own light next season. Business is business, and Mr. Byrne is essentially business. He recently declared that he made more money in ten St. Louis games last year than he had made all this season to date, and as losing money is a novelty with him, he certainly does not relish the prospect., quoting the Philadelphia North American |
