Text	President Lucas, of the Union Base-ball League, spent several days in this city [Indianapolis[, returning to St. Louis this evening [11/26]. While here he advised base-ball people that it was to their advantage to abandon the American Association and join the Union, and do so at once. He claimed to have information that Indianapolis would be dropped from the list of American teams, and that the membership would be limited to eight clubs, and he asserted that St. Louis, Cincinnati and the older Eastern organizations had declared themselves opposed to the retention of Indianapolis and Virginia, realizing it would be impossible to form a schedule with ten clubs. He offered to bet $150 to $50 that Indianapolis would be excluded.
