Text | David L. Reid, who has been thoroughly identified with professional baseball in St. Louis, Mo., since 1875, has severed his connection with the St. Louis Club. Very much of the remarkable financial success attained by the St. Louis Browns last season was due to his executive tact and ability. He has been a strong and open opponent of many of the lines of policy adopted by the new management, and his resignation as secretary was a legitimate consequence thereof. He asserts that the team engaged for 1883 is not nearly as strong as St. Louis could and should have placed in the field. The impression prevails in the Mound City that a serious mistake has been made in the releasing of Walker and Fusselbach, and engagement of T. J. Sullivan, Loftus and Nicol, and in changing the color of the St. Louis Club from brown to scarlet. |
