Within a short time things will probably be all serene between the League and American Association clubs. The League clubs have united in an application to the Athletic, of this city, to reinstate Troy, who has been the bone of contention. Immediately following this action the Detroits promise to release Troy and thus end the difficulty. A gentleman connected with the Philadelphia Club is authority for the statement that the Athletic Club has signed a paper to this effect, but one of the Athletic directors most positively denies this and says that they have refused to consider the proposition. Another inducement offered the Athletics is that they can have the privilege of playing all the League clubs in this city after September 30. the truth of the matter appears to be that the Troy imbroglio has cost the League clubs many hundreds of dollars and they are anxious to have the matter arranged so that they can play with the Association clubs in the east and West. The League clubs claim, however, that they are only anxious to settle the trouble to benefit the Philadelphia and Metropolitan Clubs. Both the latter clubs will have very few games while the League clubs are in the West, as all the semi-professional clubs are anxious to keep in good faith with the American Association.
