Text | There is trouble between the manager and members of the Washington Base Ball Club, and unless matters are arranged in the morning the club will disband. About five weeks ago they went West and the tour was very unsuccessful. The members have not been paid salaries for that period, and there has been considerable grumbling about it. Manager Moxley, of the club, returned from his farm in Pennsylvania to-night and the members of the club waited on him in a body. They told him that if their salaries were not paid they would play no more. After considerable discussion it was agreed to let the matter rest until to-morrow, when it will be settled. If Manager Moxley does not pay the salaries the club will disband and will not play in Baltimore with the Baltimores, as was arranged. About $1,500 is said to be due the members. |
