| Text | [reporting the NL special meeting of 1/10/1885] Probably one of the most important meetings that has ever been held by base ball men in this country was that held by the National League... although at which seemingly but little business was transacted. There is a heavy undercurrent, however, of which the base ball men seem to be in mortal terror, and which may destroy all the peace and harmony which now exists between the National League and the American Association, through the articles of the national agreement. … …there were grave fears of a rupture between the two leading associations unless the consent of the St. Louis American club could be secured. Everything hinged upon this important matter, and so critical was this single thread which united the two leading associations that Manager Barnie of the Baltimore club and Messrs. Simmons and Sharsig of the Athletics of Philadelphia attended the meeting, and worked like beavers in the interest of the American association to prevent a rupture of the national agreement, which would result in a regular war between the two associations. Boston Herald January 11, 1885 [reporting the NL special meeting of 1/10/1885] Several sessions were held during the day, but the most important of them all was the evening session, which closed with the understanding that the St. Louis Union club would come to an agreement with the St. Louis American Association club before the annual spring meeting of the league, or else another club would be admitted in its place.
