Charley Bastian is still in this city [Philadelphia], all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Said he today: “I have heard nothing more from Nick Young and I have not been near the Philadelphia club people. I will call and see some of them pretty soon, however, for I am about ready to play ball. But I won't sign with the Chicago club at my classification figures. I am in Class D (salary $1,750) because I can't bat, I am told. I will show them that I can bat, now that the powder is out of my eye. I don't think there is any justice in the classification system.
