| Text | A Chicago man of some note told the writer some time ago that Anson would practice any trick, fair or unfair, to carry a point for his Club. In his private life he is quiet and gentlemanly, but on the ball-field he is known to be unscrupulous and unfeeling. Evidence of his bullyism have been seen wherever he has played, until, at last, he has become disliked universally by ball players and ball patrons. Larkin, of the Chicago Club, seems to be patterning after Anson. The conduct of these two young men in the Chicago game last week is said to have been brutal. They, between them, ran into purposely and knocked Sullivan off the base four time, laming him up considerably. There should be some protection provided among ball players to protect the weaker players physically from the brutality of players devoid of feeling or fairness. |
