| Text | [quoting an editorial in the Chicago Mirror of American Sports] Now that the National Base Ball league voted unanimously to bury the hatchet and take to its bosom its most dangerous enemy, Mr. Lucas of the St. Louis Unions–a determination unquestionably in the interest of base ball, since it establishes the league’s jurisdiction in the second most important city in the West and the keen rival of Chicago in all things, and at the same time breaks the back of the Union association by taking away the man whose brains and money made its existence possible–it is natural and reasonable to expect that the league will go a step further and restore to good standing the two players blacklisted because of their refusal to be bound by the reserved rule. (St. Louis) Missouri Republican January 28, 1885 If the league wants to retain the good will they have created for themselves here they must reinstate Dunlap, Shafer, Sweeney and the rest of the boys. To give St. Louis a league club and deprive them of the favorites in the team is like giving a man soup and denying him salt. (St. Louis) Missouri Republican January 28, 1885 |
