[from the St. Louis correspondent] It is truthfully said that both Messrs. Nimick and Scndrett hid themselves in Chicago for several days prior to their joining the League, and that their jump from the American Association to the League was largely due to the fact that the former played Sunday games. Oh, I like a hypocrite, I do. Contrast the sneaking, renegade course of these opponents to Sunday games with the manly action of Chris Von der Ahe, one of the upholders of Sunday games. These “holier-than-thou” people find no structure in their creed against falsehood and sneaking, contemptible, underhand work, but they cannot possibly stomach Sunday games. Out upon such manhood. The American Association is well rid of such people, and I congratulate them heartily.
