| Text | Referring to the Detroit club remaining in the League, Mr. A. G. Spalding says that he received a telegram from the Detroit club asking whether the Chicago club would consent to a special arrangement, so that a division of the receipts of the Chicago and Detroit games for 1887 should be made the same as in 1886. He had replied that the Chicago club was willing to make that concession. Whether the other clubs had agreed to similar arrangements Mr. Spalding was not able to state. The agreement only applied to the Detroit club, and no similar guarantee had been made by Chicago with any other club in the League. There is no doubt that New York, Boston and Philadelphia made the same concessions. That was why the Detroits demand carried. The Sporting News November 27, 1886 President Stearns of the Detroit Club when asked why his team had changed front said: “Well, this morning we received the last dispatch which guarantees us such concessions as we demanded from all principal clubs in the League. When I say principal, I don't mean St. Louis or Washington. The terms are private, but it is all that we asked. The Sporting News November 27, 1886 |
