Text	[reporting on the AA special meeting of 9/28] The report of the finance committee recommending that a permanent franchise be granted Kansas City was read, and then Mr. Speas introduced Mr. Holmes, a Kansas City capitalist, heavily interested in the cable railways of the Cowboy town. Mr. Holmes announced that he owned the controlling interest in the Kansas City Western Association team, and had decided to consolidate with the American Association team, and hereafter have but one club in Kansas City. The two teams had thirty men under contract, and from this number a very strong nine could be made up. This pleasing news turned the scale for Kansas City, and after a very lively discussion, a perpetual franchise was unanimously voted the club.
