Text	[quoting an unnamed “well-known member of the League] ...Al Spalding, of Chicago, is smart and ambitious. He thinks it would be to his advantage to have an American club in Chicago, especially if he owned it. Well, he quietly laid his plans, went to St. Louis, saw Lucas, and some people connected with the American club, and the matter was so arranged that the American Association incorporated it into their agreement as one of the conditions to admit Lucas. Spalding, of course, offered no objection and it was agreed to. Chicago will have an American club in 1886, even if it has to buy out a franchise, as Lucas did that of Cleveland. You can set that down as just about right.
