Considerable interest is manifested to know with which Association the Washington team will be identified next season. Manager Scanlan is devoting all his energies to receive admission into the American Association. Other members of the Directory, however, are averse to cutting loose from their Union allies, and they say that the action of the League recently shows that a war to the knife is to be inaugurated against all those who aided or abetted in the new organization. When such players as Dunlap, Sweeney, Daly and Shafer are refused permission to be stricken from the black-lists of the League and American Association, these gentlemen of the Nation Directory declare that their nine will not be excepted from the sweeping denunciation of the last meeting in New York. On the other hand, Manager Scanlan favors an absolute capitulation to the League and a burning of the Union bridge, for, as he puts it, if the League or American Association refuse to let the National Club in, the Eastern League will gladly open its door to the applicant.
