[from the report of the Judiciary Committee to the National Association convention] A sixth charge was received December 10, dated December 6, from Thomas Fitzgerald, Philadelphia, charging the Athletic Club, of Philadelphia, with paying certain members to play ball, the persons so paid being Pike, Dockney and McBride, the amount of such compensation being $20 per week. The complainant and defendants were notified that investigation would take place on Tuesday, the 11th inst., but neither made their appearance. The committee would most respectfully draw the attention of the new committee about to be appointed to the fact that these charges still remain for investigation.
