| Text | The Union Association have a pretty plan to work in Cleveland next season. The scheme is to put a Union team into Cleveland, and a gentleman who was told the details by an officer of the Cincinnati Union Club says: ‘The plan is to drive the League people into resigning their franchise. Then the wreckers will hire the men of the present team, or as many of them as they can get, strengthen them by a first-class battery, and let it have full swing as the Cleveland Unions. If the League team can’t be driven out, the Pittsburg Union will be brought to Cleveland, and an endeavor made to run the League team out by 25-cent games. I told my man that he was mistaken, that the feeling was too strong against the Unions in Cleveland to hope for their success, and that the press would fight it from start to finish and down it. Harry Price of Pittsburg is back of the deal and would like to get into the base-ball business in Cleveland, which he looks upon as his home.’ This scheme, whether imaginary or not, will be found to be one of poor conception when put to work. But let them try it. There will be fun for some one and that some one will not be the Unions. St., quoting the Cleveland Herald |
