[from a telegram from Byrne] Under the schedule adopted by the American Association, limiting the championship games to Oct. 14, we have won the American Association Championship. Under the form of law the directors of the Association deprived Brooklyn of a game it was justly entitlted to from St. Louis. The combination to deprive Brooklyn of its victory is still operating. Two games are to be played by St. Louis in Cincinnati to-morrow, to enable St. Louis to get to Philadelphia to play off its postponed games there. This, if done, simply makes our championship race a farce. If we are deprived of the victory we have honestly earned by these methods we must trust our cause to an honest press and public sentiment.
