[from a letter from “A Friend of Bradley”] When he [George W. Bradley] consented to play for them [the Athletics ]last season, a great howl was made by The Item and other papers of the great liberality shown by the Athletic managers, and the large sum of money they had spent to secure Bradley's release. The simple truth is, Bradley's release from the Cleveland club cost just three hundred and forty dollars, and the liberal managers made Bradley deduct one-half of this from his salary.
