The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Sporting Life, in the last issue of that paper, said that ex-manager Harry Spence, of the local team, had employed an attorney and intended to make it very unpleasant for some one, presumably the Indianapolis board of directors. Nothing much has ever been said about the matter, but it is well known that the management charged Spence with being short in his accounts and an effort was made at the League meeting to have him black-listed, though this was not done, because the League officials doubted their authority to act in the matter, for the reason that Spence was not at that time under engagement to the Indianapolis club. The attention of an official of the club was directed to Spence's alleged threat, and he replied that the young man might need the services of an attorney before he got through with the Indianapolis club.
