Text	Tony Mullane jumped contract with the St. Louis Unions to Toledo. Meinke jumped contract with the Baltimore Unions to go to Detroit. Ed Hengle and Billy Foley jumped Chicago Unions' contract to go to St. Paul. Lou Dickerson and Bill Taylor jumped St. Louis Unions' contracts to join the Baltimores and Athletics, respectively. Billy Geer jumped contract with Keystones to joint the Brooklyns. Thos. Gunning jumped his contract with Chicago Unions to go to Boston, League. Mike Mansell jumped contract with the St. Louis Unions to go to Pittsburg. Sullivan and Colgan jumped their contracts with Baltimore Unions to go to Pittsburg. Larry Corcoran jumped the Chicago Unions to go to Chicago League. Scott jumped the St. Louis Unions to go to Detroit. Tom Bond jumped the Boston Unions to go to Indianapolis. Trick McSorley jumped contract with the Chicago Unions to go to Peoria. Pinkney jumped two contracts with the Baltimore Unions to go to Cleveland and Peoria. All these cases of contract-breaking occurred last season. This winter, while the Union Association was still in existence the National agreement people began their disreputable business again. Kreig, under contract to Kansas City, was stolen by Cleveland. The Philadelphia League team slipped in and robbed the same club of Ganzel. The St. Louis American team took Robinson after he had also signed with Ted Sullivan. On top of this Myers and Porter, of the Milwaukee, were induced to break contract by the Philadelphia and Brooklyn teams. This out to show conclusively to every unpartisan mind just who is responsible for the wholesale disregard of contracts last season.
