Text | [reporting the AA meeting of 11/13-15/1889] On Friday the six remaining clubs of the Association met again at the hotel. J. J. O'Neill, of St. Louis, acted as chairman, and L. C. Parsons, of Louisville, as secretary. The first business was in the nature of a surprise to the Association. It consisted of the resignation of the Kansas City Club from membership, which was presented by L. C. Krauthoff. The Kansas City men then withdrew, and the Association proceeded to elect its officials for 1890... … Immediately after tendering their resignation, Messrs. Krauthoff and Speas, of the Kansas City Club, held a consultation with Manager Sam Morton, of the Minneapolis Club, and sent to the secretary of the Western Association a telegraphic application for admission of that body to fill the vacancy caused by the withdrawal of the St. Joseph Club. Later in the day Messrs. Krauthoff and Morton declared that as a result of a telegraphic vote Kansas City had been admitted to membership in the Western Association. |
