New York Clipper October 18, 1879 At the recent meeting of the League it was agreed, for the sake of securing good players at small salaries, that five men in each nine should not be negotiated with by other League teams. The result of this agreement is now plainly shown, as the Buffalos have lost Clapp, who has signed with a club of the National Association, and Ward of the Providence refuses to sign unless he is given a salary equal to that offered him by National clubs.

New York Clipper November 22, 1879 early hint of the fate of the Union grounds The Brooklyn Board of Supervisors have decided to recommend the purchase of the Union Baseball Grounds, in that city, as a site for a new armory.
