| Text | [from an interview of Jack Glasscock] “I'm looking out for myself. It is not true that I signed a league contract, nor have I signed a brotherhood contract, although I have one in my pocket.” In reply to a question he said he supposed there would be desertions from the brotherhood, adding: “You can't blame any player for going where he gets the most money.” St. Louis Republic November 20, 1889 It is now definitely known that Glasscock has bound himself to stand by President Brush, and there is every reason to believe that Denny, Boyle and Rusie have also attached their names to Indianapolis contracts. Glasscock, having concluded to remain in Indianapolis, will lose no time in securing for next season just as many of the old members of the club as possible. He left Indianapolis with instructions to visit all the members of the club and persuade them, if possible, to desert the brotherhood and stand by Indianapolis. His trip to Chicago was for the purposes of seeing Getzein and Buckley. It is whispered that during the six hours Glasscock was closeted with Mr. Brush something like a 2,000-mile trip was planned for the shrewd captain and manager. He is to visit every man on the reserve list of the Indianapolis club and use all his influence to get them to desert the brotherhood and remain with the Indianapolis club. In other words, he is to go out in the field and make a determined fight against the brotherhood. St. Louis Republic November 21, 1889 |
