Billy Sunday has weakened on his stand with the Brotherhood and has notified the Pittsburg League Club that he will sign an 1890 contract. Anson and Spalding won him over on the point that he promised President Nimick the he would sign without being reserved. Sunday admitted to John Ward that he had gone into the movement with open eyes, but had weakened and begged for his release. It was granted. Thus the Players League leaders score a point and show the public that the talk of coercion was not founded in fact. Sunday can also show that there was an honorable route to the League for Glasscock, McKean, Denny and Boyle.
