...the club's [Clevelands] franchises were offered for sale, but nobody appeared anxious to buy except Mr. Lucas, of St. Louis, and to him Messrs. Howe and Bulkley would not sell, as they considered him mainly instrumental in bringing the club to its present condition. Thus matters have been hanging for weeks. However, all things must have an end, and the end here came Saturday, Jan. 3, when the club mailed its resignation from the League to President Young, at Washington.
