| Text | During the past month quite a radical change has taken place in the feelings of the Association clubs in regard to the employment of black-listed players. Following on the heels of the treachery of Troy, Wise and Holbert, a strong feeling of revenge was generated, and the engagement of the black-listed players of the League was urged by several of the Association clubs. Sober second though has condemned this, and of all the Association clubs, the Allegheny stands alone in its advocacy. Cincinnati has condemned it by refusing to sign Jones. St. Louis, Louisville and the Athletic clubs have completed their nines, and not a black-listed player is to be found in any of them. It is not probable therefore that the Association, at its meeting in this city, next month, will advocate such a course. Time shows, too, that the League and Association are coming nearer together and it would not be a surprise that before the season ends, an alliance, offensive and defensive, between them was organized. The country is big enough and rich enough for both to exist. |
