| Text | The managers of the new Players' League team announce that A. W. Latham, third baseman of the St. Louis Browns, has been secured to take Tom Burns' place on the 1890 team, and has signed an agreement and accepted advance money. Von der Ahe has fined and stopped his pay to the amount of $900 this season, and to recover this the courts will be resorted to. Three other men will be taken from the American Association to Chicago. The question of a fight with the Association was fully discussed at the New York meeting, and it was decided that, having assigned a team to Brooklyn, the fight was on and might as well be made as hard as possible and that it was better to fight an association denuded of its stars than a covert enemy. The Sporting Life November 20, 1889 In addition to pitcher Kilroy the Baltimore club was, during the past week, robbed of several more of its stars, namely, Tom Tucker, Wm. Shindle and Frank Foreman. The latter was signed by the Philadelphia Players' Club and Tucker was corralled by John Ward, along with Mickey Welch, in Holyoke last Saturday. Tucker was signed for the Brooklyn Club.
