| Text | [reporting on the meeting of the Atlantic Club 1/28/1889] Prior to the meeting a committee visited Mr. Charles H. Byrne, secretary of the Board of Arbitration, and Mr. Day, also a member of the Board, to see if they could hold their players now under reservation in case they withdrew from the Central and New England leagues and formed a new association of their own. They were assured by both that so long as they did not attempt to transfer their players from one city to another they could have full control of their men. A letter was received from Chairman Young, of the Board of Arbitration, to the same effect. The Sporting Life February 6, 1889 a street opened through the Polo Grounds The New York Supreme Court has decided that One Hundred and Eleventh street is “open” and belongs to the city, and that the Commissioners of Public Works and of Parks have the right to tear dow the fences of the Polo Ground. This closes the ground of the New York Club. President Day will appeal to the Court of Appeals and pending the hearing will get a stay of proceedings for a year. But after that further legal obstructions will not avail. The Sporting Life February 6, 1889 |
