| Text | The owners of the Baltimore and Washington clubs did not come to terms during the week after all, and at the hour of going to press the deal appeared to be entirely off. Mr. Hewitt wanted far more cash for his mere franchise than Mr. Vonderhorst considered it worth, in view of the fact that Hewitt could not guarantee to deliver any of the old players. The other proposition, a combining of the two franchises, also fell through, owing to disagreement over minor details. Whether the deal will be resumed is not known, but whether it is or not the Baltimore Club is done with the Association forever, and if nothing better presents itself and no deal with the Brotherhood can be made, it will enter the Atlantic Association. The Sporting Life December 4, 1889 Nov. 30.--The Baltimore Base Ball Club has been admitted to membership in the Atlantic Association. Jas. N. Braden, Sec'y. The Sporting Life December 4, 1889 [from the Baltimore correspondent] The situation, as far as the Orioles are concerned, has not changed. Mr. Hewitt still thinks his franchise worth $10,000, and the Baltimore people don't. The Sporting Life December 25, 1889 |
