[reporting on the recent NL meeting] The Detroit Club has has now no more to do with the Buffalo franchise than had the flowers of spring in Ko-Ko's familiar case. Detroit, in return for the privilege of retaining the “big four” without further contest, generously and voluntarily offered to surrender the Buffalo franchise to the League, thus getting nothing for their expenditure of $12,000 except the four players mentioned. The offer was accepted. The franchise is now in the hands of the League, who will select Buffalo's successor.
