Text	The much and long-talked-of Ward deal is finally settled. The great short stop during the past week positively refused to play in Washington, whereupon the latter at once made a deal for Morrill and Wise, of the Boston Club. This move reduces Ward to the alternative of re-signing with New York or in some way securing his transfer to Boston. The Sporting Life April 10, 1889 President Young says of Ward's refusal to go to Washington:-- “I think that Ward has made a big mistake and he will live to regret it. This was a turning point in his career and he was given a grand opportunity to show himself a base ball general. He could have made himself a national reputation as a base ball manager, so that his services would be in demand after his playing days are over, and he could have worked so as to secure a financial interest in the club, I've no doubt.” The Sporting Life April 10, 1889
