Justus Thorner, ex-president of the Cincinnati league club, applied for reinstatement as a member of the American association. He was a member until a year ago, when O. P. Caylor of the Commercial Gazette worked him out and was elected in his stead. The association refused to interfere and Thorner has commenced the organization of a new Union association nine. He is backed by John McLean, editor and proprietor of the Enquirer, the Street railroad company, Hon. Andrew Hickenlooper and other capitalists. They are determined to get together one of the strongest nines in the country, and already hold leases on the grounds the present American association club have been using and two other parks.
