Manager Hengle of the Chicago Unions is justly indignant over the attempt of the Northwestern League clubs to seduce his players. Last week the St. Paul Club, thorough their manager, John Hunter, induced Billy Foley, the third baseman of the Chicago Unions, to jump his contract and joint them. He left, and played with the St. Paul team ...in Terre Haute. He was promised $300 a month more. The Unions have also have five other men approached by the St. Paul Club, it is said, among them being Kreig, the catcher. It will hardly pay any respectable player to jump his contract, as the club that gets him never has a good opinion of him as a man afterward. Manager Hengle says he wants to deny the story that he is to desert the club. St., quoting the Chicago Times
