Text	There is a growing impression here that two or three members of the Detroit team are playing for a release. It may not be well founded, but there is certainly cause to think differently. They are playing in an indifferent manner, and when two members have been remonstrated with they have replied: “If you don't like my play, you can give me my release.” To this one of them added, “I can get $500 more than I am getting here.” The reason of this is possibly found in the fact that at least two managers of American Association clubs have already, regardless of the pledge given in New York last spring when that association was received into the fellowship of the League, sought to induce League players to break their contracts. In this connection it may interest the public to know that manager Chapman says in a very decided tone of voice, “I shall release no one, but shall suspend them instead!
