| Text | Yesterday was quite an interesting day among the local baseball people. President Nimick's anticipations were not realized, as none of the old players would sign. According to the president, Sunday was the only player asked to sign and he refused to do so until after the Brotherhood meeting, which will be held on the 3 th of next month. Mr. Nimick reminded Sunday of his promise to sign a contract without hesitation and Sunday replied to the effect that his promise would just be as good after November 4 as now. He added that he will not sign a contract until the Brotherhood difficulty is settled. He is a member of that organization and he means to stick to it, regardless of all consequences. Beckley did not sign, but after leaving Nimick's office he said that he will certainly play in the Pittburg League club next season; that there will be no Brotherhood club and that the entire business is a big bluff. Hanlon also withheld his signature from a contract, as he also wishes to see what results from the Brotherhood and League meeting. |
