Text | It is given out here as a positive fact that Lucas and Spalding had a stormy interview here three days ago. Lucas flatly demanded the privilege of immediate Sunday games, and Mr. Spalding as flatly announced the impossibility of granting the privilege under any circumstances. Mr. Lucas then stated that the Lucas Club would not finish the season. It is believed that the strongest players will be sold and the club disbanded upon its arrival from the Eastern trip, and the Dunlap sale is the first step in this direction. Mr. Spalding started at once for the East, and the result of his visit is that Pittsburg will be ready to step into St. Louis' shoes. |
