| Text | The loss of McCormick, Briody and Glasscock, who have signed with the Cincinnati Unions, is likely to result very seriously to the Cleveland Club. In an interview with President Howe this evening he said: ‘The club is in a very crippled condition, and it is a serious question whether we can play out the schedule of games for which we are obligated. I have received a number of dispatches from players in different parts of the country, but they are inferior in many respects, and it is useless to employ men who will not draw either at home or abroad. McCormick and Briody have not been acting well for some time. The management are now considering the question of an injunction and stopping the men from playing in the Cincinnati nine. It is possible that this will be done Monday. If there is any way in which we can prevent these men from playing and make them answer for breach of contract, it will be done. Something has got to be done in this matter, and if we do get out an injunction the whole League will back us up. It looks now, however, as if Cleveland would not have a base-ball club next year. St., quoting the Cincinnati Enquirer |
