[from Chadwick's column] I had a long chat with John Ward, and he told me that he had had a talk with Mr. Day about his future work on the field, and that he had claimed from Mr. Day his promise to release him if the club won the pennant this year. This promise Mr. Day has reluctantly fulfilled, and Boston will be the scene of John's field wok in 1889, that is if satisfactory arrangements can be concluded, and these include an iron-clad contract, giving him entire control of the team, or he will not take charge of it. With such a team as Boston will control in 1889, and with Ward as its captain-manager—John does not want to have anything to do with the business department—if Boston does not win the pennant next year then they never will again.
