| Text | Base ball circles in various cities where the sport has become popular and maintains a strong hold, are at present quite unnecessarily agitated over an alleged expose of “crookedness” among league players, published in the Cincinnati Enquirer of last Sunday. The contest of the Enquirer article, which occupied nearly half a page, were known to the managers of the league a year ago, and would probably have never been given to the public had the Cincinnati club remained a member of the league. Having been dropped from the league, however, because their club management thought more of converting its ball grounds into a lager beer garden, and fostering Sunday playing, than of elevating the game of base ball, the Cincinnati people, and notably Mr. O.P. Caylor, base ball editor of the Enquirer, are very indignant, and the latter has published this “boomerang,” which he calls an expose, alleging crookedness on the part of certain league clubs. [A long discussion of the case follows.] |
