Text	It has developed that some of the players of the New York Players' league Club have not been paid since Sept. 1 and are vainly seeking a settlement with the club. Richardson, O'Rourke, Whitney, Keefe and Shannon are the ones yet unpaid. They have used every endeavor together their salaries since Sept. 1, but have failed. Buck Ewing did not receive his salary until last week. He also received Vaughn's at the same time. Gore, O'Day, Connor and Johnston were lucky. They got in out of the wet all right. The Sporting Life November 22, 1890 [Mark] Baldwin did not hesitate to say that the Chicago Club officials were indebted to the players for salaries to the extent of $7000 or $9000. None of the players, he continued, had any hopes of getting it, as under the contract they signed their wages were to come from the gate receipts. … Comiskey was the heaviest loser of the lot, the officials owing him $1900 at the close of the season, and which they told him they would never pay.
