| Text | A serious difficult has been brewing for some time between the manager and President of the St. Louis Club, and it has at last come to a head. It seems that on Wednesday night President Von der Ahe made an examination of the men's rooms at the Grand Central Hotel to see that they were all in bed at the proper hour. For some time, he claims, they have not been looked after sharply enough, and have been allowed priileges which interfered with their discipline and field work. This, he thinks, was the cause of Wednesday's defeat. Mr. Sullivan retaliated warmly, and to-day [8/30] they had a very passage of wors in one of the rooms of the hote, Mr. Von der Ahe alleging that Mr. Sullivan's extreme strictness at times was followed by laxity and carelessness, and that the management of the nine has mostly fallen on him. This Mr. Sullivan says is not true, and that the success of the team is due to his hard work. The result was that Mr. Sullivan has severed his connection with the club. He took the train for his home to-night. The nine in the future will be under the management of Charlie Comisky, who will look after then on and off the field. |
