Text	It is all very well to demand that allegations of dishonesty against this and that suspected member of a nine be investigated by those who employ them, but no person will come forward and testify. The tender of a bribe is not made in the presence of witnesses, neither is an agreement to buy pools entered into in public. If any such things are done at all they are done “on the quiet,” as the saying is, and surely the interested parties will not tell on themselves. If an association feels that it has the worst of a bargain in a player, the best thing, and in fact the only thing, it can do is to put up with him until his contract expires, and then get rid of him forever.
