Text	[from Joe Pritchard] The change from the percentage to the guarantee system has knocked James Gifford out of a situation, as he will sever his connections with the Brown stockings on the 1 st of next month. Mr. Gifford was signed as the manager of the champion team, but he has attended mainly to the business of the club, and Comiskey has looked after the men both on and off the ball field. Since Mr. Von der Ahe has disposed of his Western League team he has traveled almost continually with the Browns and he always looks after the boys whenever he is on the road with them. Mr. Gifford is one of the oldest, as well as one of the best managers in the country, and since he has come to St. Louis he has made a great many friends, all of whom are sorry to see him leave. He has two offers that I know of, but whether he will accept I am unable to say.
