| Text | The honor of leading the Northwestern League clubs was rather too expensive an amusement and luxury for at least two clubs. The Bay Citys, who were in the lead some weeks ago, went under when Foutz and Porter were transferred, and now the Grand Rapids follow by the same route. The Detroits have absorbed the best of the Grand Rapids talent, including their “wizard” pitcher, Getzein, Kearns, Cox, Jones and Gotfield, and no doubt they will prove of material and substantial aid to the Detroits’ force. Manager Phillips will soon go on the road with a well known variety company, and no doubt in a few days the other men will all be placed as the team was well organized and a very powerful one. St. Louis Post-Dispatch August 12, 1884 The club had already sunk over $2,000, and was indebted about $1,200 more to the players. There was no prospect of bringing the club out even the balance of the season; in fact, there was every probability of further loss. It was suggested that the managers who wanted the players assume the obligations of the club, take the players... The was agreed to, and the club then and there wound up its affairs.
