There will be a hustling among the managers to get players’ names on contracts to-morrow and many a League Manager awaits this day, with ill concealed unrest as it will to a great extent force the League Brotherhood to show its hand. If the League players refuse to sign then the League managers will know that the fight is at hand and they will lose no time in signing young players to take the place of the deserters. The Philadelphia Item October 20, 1889

Not a single Brotherhood player signed League contract yesterday, and the war between the players and managers is now fairly started. In this city the Philadelphia players were served with notices that their services were claimed by the club and the latter was now ready to receive their signatures. The players in one or two instances expressed their contempt of the notice by slurring remarks and tearing them up. The Philadelphia Item October 22, 1889
