Text	Buck Ewing arrived in the city yesterday. Of course there was much anxiety to hear what he had to say about his refusal to come to this city after he had signed. In an interview with a reporter of the Enquirer he said that he affixed his name to a contract with the Metropolitans simply because he got more money, twice as much as he was offered here. “Had Cincinnati,” said he, “paid me what Troy owed me, I would have come here; but it is nonsense to think that I , who have no one but myself and my playing to secure a position, would refuse $3,200 for $1,800 a season.” When asked if he was to receive that amount, he said that that was the sum he signed for, and he was to obtain $1,000 in advance, the largest sum ever paid a base-ball tosser. He expected that Cincinnati enthusiasts were disappointed, but bread and butter was more important to him than petty praise.
