| Text | The Boston Herald says that Manager Hart has not the authority to select the team to play from day to day. This power has been delegated to the captain of the club. Mr. Hart, therefore, has no authority at all on the field, as is the case with all the other managers. He controls the team off the field, but not on it. Brooklyn Eagle April 17, 1889 Mike Kelly has been given the bounce by the Boston triumvirate; that is, he is still nominally the captain of the team, but virtually Manager Hart is the boss of the team now. Messrs. Soden, Billings and Conant have plainly seen that Kelly is incompetent to control the team. No man respects him and he lacks every qualification which makes Anson, Harry Wright and comiskey so successful. When Jim Hart was first engaged it was with the understanding that he should have control of the team off the field only. When the club left Boston yesterday morning Manager Hart carried in his pocket a new contract with the Boston Club, which gave him full control of the team, both on and off the field. In fact, the same authority as Harry Wright has. Mr. Hart made his appearance on the players’ bench for the first time yesterday since the club has played hereabouts. Brooklyn Eagle April 24, 1889 |
