Text	[an interview of Gus Schmelz] “I came here to see if I could make a deal with Mr. Von der Ahe for Nicol. I offered to trade Snyder, our catcher, for the right fielder of the Browns, but Mr. Von der Ahe would not agree to the dicker. Nicol has not been playing lately, and I thought that as long as he could get his pitchers to play the position well Von der Ahe might be willing to trade Nichol off for a catcher.” “Was any extra money offered?” “No. The offer was simply to swap Snyder for Nicol. Mr. Von der Ahe, however, made me a counter proposition in which he said he would give me Nicol for Corkhill, our right fielder. Then it was my turn to laugh.” St.
