| Text | [reporting on the AA annual meeting of 12/12/1883] The most important office, and the only one for which there was any sort of a fight, was the secretaryship of the Association, made vacant by the resignation of James Williams. Mr. Dan O'Leary [Indianapolis Club] nominated Frank Wright, of Cincinnati. The name of W. C. Wikoff, of Columbus, O., was presented by Mr. Von der Ahe, and Mr. Barnie closed the nominations with the name of Thos. Moore, of Baltimore. The first ballot resulted in Wright four, Wikoff four, Moore four; the second ballot, Wright five, Wikoff five, Moore three; the third ballot, Wright four, Wikoff five, Moore three. At this stage a motion was made and carried to drop the name of the lowest candidate, and Mr. Moore fell out of the race. The fourth and final ballot resulted: Wright five, Wikoff seven. Mr. Wikoff was declared duly elected.
