[from Chadwick’s column] “You know how it is, well enough, Mr. Chadwick,” said Bob [Ferguson’. “Of course, I’ve nothing to say about the club’s affairs. They are treating me very well and I am doing what they want me to do.”

“‘Nuf said, Bob,” I replied. “ A nod is as good as a wing, you know,” and Bob laughed significantly. I needed no more to be thoroughly posted to as “how the old thing worked” with the Mets.

It is an old, old story of a competent man being placed in the position of manager of a team, while the team is really controlled by some self-opinionated official, who has all the say in the running of the team, while the nominal manager is left to act as a mere figure-head.
