Several of the players who were considering flattering offers from the American association clubs have wisely come to the conclusion that “all is not gold that glitters,” and consequently there is a coldness in the negotiations pending. According to good authority, some of the clubs of that association are offering such large salaries (on paper) that, with other expenses, will surely swamp the club financially, with the price of admission at 25 cents. The veterans of the league see this, and are therefore becoming shy of the tempting offers.
