| Text | The trouble between the Chicago club and Nicol, who has signed with the St. Louis Browns, arises from the fact that Anson at the close of the season told Nicol that he would give him $1,100 to play ball for him (Anson) during the season of 1883, Nicol to go where Anson saw fit to send him, and Nicol was induced to sign an agreement to this effect, with the express understanding that Nicol should play regularly on some nine, and not as a substitute. Nicol received no form of contract to bind Anson to his agreement to pay the $1,100 or to insure his not being played as a substitute, but simply had his word given to that effect; whereas Anson had Nicol's written agreement to play for him wherever he should see fit to sign him. Under this agreement Anson now requires Nicol to play with the Chicago team, and, of course, as a substitute. Anson had been offered $50 for a release by Nicol, but wants $100. The Philadelphia Item January 7, 1883 Anson has given up his fight over Nicoll and the latter will play in St. Louis. The Philadelphia Item February 4, 1883 |
