The “indifference” of Jones about playing in Boston has its causes which were not told. It is no secret that the Boston Club owes its players for a large share of their salary for the season as far as advanced. Foley of the same Club has been raising a breeze about his “back pay.” The fact that players have no protection against a Club holding back their salaries is a disgrace to the League. If they attempt to collect what is due them they are incontinently kicked out. It is but fair to Jones that his friends here and in Cincinnati ought to know both sides of the story. If the Boston Club cannot pay him they ought to release him honorably.
