Text	[from an interview of Henry Lucas] The agreement was drawn up by Mr. Howe of that club [Cleveland], and does contain the expression: ‘It is not intended hereby to sell any buildings belonging to said Cleveland Base Ball association, or transfer any players.’ But before it was drawn it was agreed between us that I was to have the first chance at the players, and Mr. Howe promised to furnish me a list of their addresses and all the needful information. He knew I was not paying the sum named in the contract for the empty consideration of the Cleveland resignation, for that was worth nothing to me, as Mr. Howe told me Cleveland would resign whether I signed the agreement or not.
