| Text | [from R. M. Larner's column] While at League headquarters last Monday I had a chat with Nick Young about the Sunday meeting of the Brotherhood. Our talk was of an informal nature, and as Mr. Young is the head of the League it would hardly be proper to quote him on this subject. It is sufficient to say that there is but little danger of a strike among the leading ball players of the country for the reason that they have no just grounds for complaint, besides they would find it a very difficult matter to obtain similar employment elsewhere at the same rates they are now receiving. It is all rot to talk about the capitalists who are ready to come forward and supply the funds necessary to maintain an anti-League Association. I have some personal experience with captalistic ball cranks, but they do not materialize when they are called to the scratch. Besides, where would the strikers obtain a play ground in New York, Boston, Washington and in other League cities? It is surprising that intelligent men take stock in such fairy stories. |
