When the League was formed at Louisville the four Western clubs made a little side arrangement to secure gate money earlier in the season than could be done by championship games. By this arrangement St. Louis is entitled to summon any three players desired of the Chicago, Lousiville, and Cincinnati teams to make up a professional picked nine to play them. In like manner Chicago and the other cities can summon players to a game in their respective cities, instead of summoning the nine players at once. St. Louis has summoned Devlin, Sommerville, and Snyder, of the Louisvilles, to play them at St. Louis. Six local amateurs will make up the nine. New York Sunday Mercury April 16, 1876
