Text	Our Western League club is now an assured fact, and Manager Tom Loftus is now doing the “rassle” act for players. … The money to organize and back the new venture, has been put up by President Von der Ahe, Cahrley Comiskey and Tom Loftus, and it is said that these three gentlemen own share and share alike, but it would be safe to bet that Von der Ahe owns about half the stock, and Loftus and Comiskey the other half. The games will be played at Sportsman's Park, and the schedule will be so arranged that it will not conflict with the Association dates. … President von der Ahe was asked the other day whether the new club would be run as a feeder to the Browns, and he promptly answered “that the Western Club would be a distinct organization, and would have nothing to do with the Browns.” However, if the new club develops a good player or two, it is safe to say that the Browns' president will purchase said “cracks,” even if he is obliged to pay the purchase money over to himself.
