Fred Dunlap was paid off and released by the Pittsburgh National League club this morning. He demanded pay for his ten days, but was asked to remain in town and practise. He finally compromised on five days and instant release, received $428.70, went outside and began to case doubt on the financial standing of the club. He said: “This club won't last much longer. They talk about cutting down expenses and yet are paying that man Guy Hecker $3,700. I have a sister who can play baseball as well as he. Hecker also violates other rules.” Dunlap says he has received no offer as yet.
