Text | There is some gouging going on. Dunlap is ready to leave the Union Association to-morrow if he can go where he wants to, as least he says so, and Cleveland is being urged to release him on the cry of ‘you cannot have him, and must do your duty and snatch him away from the Union Association by giving him a release and letting him sign with us.’ At any rate, this is treachery to Cleveland by a number of the National group, and won’t work. Dunlap will play here, retire from base ball, or go to the Union Association and be operated on by the Day resolution. But the parties who are with Dunlap, even if they succeed in their efforts to procure his release, would themselves be victims of a trick. Once released by Cleveland he would be free, and could go where he chose, or hang out and sell his services after the season opened to the highest bidder. The latter would be characteristic of the young man. St., quoting the Cleveland Herald |
