| Text | Manager Phillips, of the Columbus Club, has made another bad break–such as he seems to delight in. He was appointed a member of the American Association schedule meeting, at the recent New York meeting, his fellow committeemen being Messrs. Mutrie, of New York, and Barnie, of Baltimore. Before the meeting and before he went in New York Mr. Phillips drew up a schedule which he was with great difficulty restrained from firing off at the convention. Having been appointed on the committee, however, Mr. Phillips hastened back to Ohio, and by arrangements eminently satisfactory to himself and most probably remunerative also, he secured the publication of this pseudo schedule. Its was even announced as the schedule which would without doubt be adopted in March. In this case Mr. Phillips has been entirely too premature. The instrument is indorsed only by his own brain, and his course does not even give satisfaction to the Columbus Club. This breach of trust as a member of the committee not only is inexcusable, but makes both himself useless as a member of the committee, and his schedule worthless. The clubs and papers are already wrangling over the affair, and calling Mr. Phillips names for his meddlesomeness. Never has a schedule been peddled out to newspapers by a committeeman before, and Phillips alone has the honor of betraying the trust the Convention placed in him when he was appointed. There is not danger, nor ever was, of that schedule being adopted, for it is absurd in the extreme on its face. There very expensive clubs are sent to the poorest cities on holidays, while the inexpensive clubs are allotted to reap the rich harvests. Besides, the cost of travel on that schedule is about twenty per cent greater to every club than it can and should be made. Mr. Phillips should efface himself into the mountains, else he’ll make as much trouble as he has done before. |
