Mr. Ted J. Sullivan, manager of the Kansas City Union team, was in the city yesterday. He remained here all day and left in the evening for the East. Ted's mission in this part of the country is in the interest of his club, and he is working hard to get together a team that will give Kansas City a good place in the race for the championship of the association next season. Yesterday while en route to this city he met Larry McKeown, of the Indianapolis Club, at the depot, and after half an hour's conversation induced the mainstay of the Hoosier Capital team to affix his signature to play with him next season. He has been negotiating with several strong Eastern players, and he is now going East to clinch contracts already partially made. Besides McKeown hie has signed Kid Baldwin, Decker, Sweeney and two others. At St. Louis he offered Von der Ahe $500 to release McGinnis, but “Hurricane Chris” would not have it that way, as he said he had no use for the Union Association.
