Text	The charge of drunkenness has been made by Mr. Neff in a general way, though he knows that the chief and almost sole offender in this respect was Dickerson. He says [in an interview with the Cincinnati Times]: “While the Club were going to Cleveland one of our players was so helplessly drunk that he was unable to undress himself, and one of the players, assisted by the Captain, were compelled to undress him.” That man was Dickerson. Why did not the Cincinnati Club act manly about it, and instead of casting reproach upon the hwole team, do their duty and pitch Dickerson out of the League. His drunkenness and insubordination were no secret. A weak management which lacked the grit to make an example of him waits till the season is ended and then tells a newspaper that “one of the players did so and so.” This is hardly just.
