Text	There have been some very ugly things said in some of the Columbus papers about Manager Phillips and the members of the Columbus team. The lack of success of the team on their Western trip has been laid at Phillips' door. It is claimed that he will not strengthen the weak places in the team—short stop, second base, first base, and center field—for the reason that he received a bonus from Richmond, Kuehne, Straub and Mann, and will, therefore, not replace them. It is also charged that the Directors of the club will send one of their number of the Eastern trip with the club, because they do not want to allow Phillips to handle the money. Phillips will publish a card in the morning denying all the charges, also, stating there are no dissensions in the club. This will be signed by all the players. The Directors deny that they are sending any of their members with the club to watch Phillips.
