| Text | [from the New York correspondent] I ran across Pete Donohue, of the New York World, in the press stand at Recreation Park on Wednesday. ‘I see,’ said Pete, ‘that you pitched into us for not doing anything in our papers for Wiman’s team. The trouble is we are not against Mr. Wiman or the Metropolitans, but against Major Williams, who has not treated us right. When the season tickets were issued, the Major sent each of us a simple admission ticket, which did not entitle us to seats in the grand stand. When his attention was called to this by one of the ‘boys’ he sent other tickets with the request that we sent the first tickets back, as he could sell them. We not only sent the first bul all the tickets back, and now we delegate one man to attend the game, and he pays his way in, the rest of us chipping in for his expenses. We thus ignore the team. This ticket business is not the only thing, but it was the one that capped the climax. I imagine the Major does not boast now, as he did in the Winter, that these d-----d base ball reporters were easily handled, when one knew how, and that as managing editor of two papers his experience had taught him how to manage them. |
