Text	A surprising change of base... was the transfer of the Chicago Club to Pittsburg. The object of this move is not quite clear. It was hardly because the club was losing money in Chicago, as it is quite as likely to lose as much, or more, in Pittsburg. The proabiltiy is an intention to secure a footing in the Smoky City so as to have a desirable half-way club between the East and West, so as to break the tremendous jump to Cincinnati. There is probably a lurking hope that the American Association team in that city can be frozen out, but we regard this as extremely unlikely, as Pittsburg is too important a geographical point to the American Association to be lightly lost.
