| Text | On Monday, Pike, of the Athletics, called to bid us good-bye. He stated the club owed him two weeks’ wages, which they declined to pay. This makes one hired man the less in the city. We have no personal dislike to Mr. Pike. We sought simply to break up the paying system. Players in Brooklyn and New York may now learn from Mr. Pike all about the Athletics and their mode of doing business. He will assure them, we feel confident, that we have been right throughout our controversy.
