[from the Toledo correspondent] There is a firm belief in the West that the boys who wear the Ridgewood uniform, or the men who back them, have seized upon a larger morsel than they can with comfort masticate. With the League and Brotherhood clubs in the city of churches the Association team has not been [/able to draw enough people to make the games financially interesting. This fact has set the gossips to work figuring out a successor, and Detroit jumps to the conclusion that the Association will look to that city to fill any gap that may occur. Up to the present writing there is no gap to fill, but if any such an emergency arises Detroit should be the last city on the globe to be considered, even if her geographical position made her a potentiality. The record made by Detroit as a “quitter” and a “wrecker” should be a warning to the American Association. The very fact that Detroit stands willing to desert the International should be argument against any claim she may advance.
