[from an interview in the Detroit Free Press of Thompson] I do not believe there is a League team in the country that has not among its members two or three who will not throw a game at any time in the interest of the pool box. The rest are honest, but are powerless to win games if the two or three, or even one of them play to lose. [an editorial response:] His charges in the main are exaggerated, and wholly untrue on some points. The Sporting Life October 22, 1884 [see also TSL 841029 for a response that the problem was Thompson’s mismanagement.]
