| Text | The player whom everybody had hoped to see in the nine above all others, James White, will not be of the Reds of ‘78. One consideration only will induce him to remain here another season, which is that his brother will be the regular pitcher, or, at least, that he be allowed to pitch until Jim is satisfied that he cannot fill the bill. This is an arrangement that the directory does not feel justified in making, as it means the virtual retirement of Bond. Therefore, the White brothers cannot be counted upon as members of next year’s club. ... Unless Jim White and his brother Will should be engaged by the Cincinnati or some other people, they will probably organize a club in Elmira, N.Y., only a few miles from their home. Such is understood to be their purpose. Jim does not feel as though Will had been given a fair opportunity to “prove himself” this season, and he desires quite as much to help him along as to play for personal gratification or profit. Of Will’s ability to pitch there can be no question, and he and his brother will make a strong pair for the club that secures them in 1878. |
