“This talk about the league clubs being so much superior to association clubs is all bosh,” siad an admirer of the game the other day. “I tell you the Cincinnatis, Athletics and St. Louis teams are made up of just as good players as there are in most of the much-lauded clubs of the older organization.” Cincinnati Enquirer August 11, 1883

Dave Eggler and Grace Pierce, two players who were not considered good enough to be retained by the association clubs, have been eagerly gobbled up by League managers. This looks like the older organization is not so much superior to the young one in point of playing ability. Cincinnati Enquirer August 12, 1883
