| Text | [reporting on the stockholders meeting of 10/16/1883] The question of engaging a manger was gone into. Numerous petitions had been presented to retain Mr. Phillips. The board of directors reported that it had received three separate offers from Manager Phillips, all of which had been rejected. At the last meeting of the board a petition had been presented pretty numerously signed, asking that Mr. Phillips be engaged at $1,500, with $200 advanced money, and $60 per month for six months. Some of the directors were inclined to consider this proposition in a favorable manner, but they had finally concluded it best to submit the question to the stockholders. A vote was then taken, and the ballot stood 46 to 11 against Phillips. It was also decided not to engage a manager until spring. Manager Phillips showed considerable feeling over his treatment, and stated to your correspondent that when he came here last year he accepted an uncertainty of $500 over a certain sum, on condition that if he would get the club through the season without losing money he should have the option of remaining at an increased salary for another year. The result is that he has lost $82.17 on the score card enterprise, and worked for $78 per month or for $1,202. A position has been offered him which he thinks he may accept, the only different being a matter of $200 in the salary. |
