[from an interview of James Coogan] Three weeks ago, before the new grounds were leased by the players and capitalists, C olonel E. A. McAlpin, the tobacco king, Post-master Cornelius Van Cott and G. R. Talcott, I had Day call upon me. I explained to him that parties were after the grounds, and I thought it my duty to give him first option upon them. He replied that he did not want the grounds. Of course I then leased them advantageously to the other party. I have not a dollar’s worth of stock in the Brotherhood scheme, but I am managing the Lynch estate, and I am looking out for their interests.
