Anson on Building a Colt Team and Yearly Strife
A. C. Anson recounts breaking in 1890 Chicago Colts with discipline and hard drills, praising players like Dahlen and Hutchinson, and detailing 1891 to 1892 turmoil from the Brotherhood revolt, rival leagues, and management tensions led by John R. Walsh. He describes clashes with Walsh and Spalding, a confrontation in New York, and threats from a police officer during a heated office visit.
