Text	Mr. T. P. Sullivan, the efficient manager of the St. Louis Club has fallen out with the irresolute, vacillating German with the unpronounceable name at the head of the club, Mr. Christ Von der Ahe, and on Thursday Sullivan asked the cranky president for his release, which that bull-headed man foolishly gave him. … After the game, it is said, the President spoke harshly to the manager. “I have brought this club up to its present standing,” said Mr. Sullivan Wednesday, “and it is hard, after putting it in a fair way to win the championship, to be treated thus badly. Mr. Von der Ahe understand but little about base ball, and if I had obeyed all of his orders during the season the club would be nearer the foot than the head in the race.” Von der Ahe has authorized Comisky, the first baseman, to take charge of the nine in future. All of which is good news for the Athletic, as we may look for speedy demoralization in a team run by Comisky and the whimsical Von der Ahe.
