[from Chadwick's column] I am glad to see that one man of the old New York team of 1889 has had the manliness to offset his action in aiding the revolt of 1889 by a commendable effort to make some sort of show in grateful acknowledgment of his indebtedness to Mr. John B. Day for the years of kind consideration shown him. Buck Ewing's conduct in trying to bring the two capitalists of the rival league clubs of New York together condones much of his action against Mr. Day last winter. Moreover, Ewing shows more judgment in taking the retrograde steps he has recently than he has been given credit for. He is intelligent enough to see that the Players' League experiment is a dead failure, and that persistence in the revolt would be a financial blunder of the worst kind. It requires a great amount of moral courage to bravely acknowledge an error of judgment, and, if I mistake not, Ewing is showing considerable courage in this way at present.
