Text	Alex. McKinnon says he has asked for reinstatement by the League in order to rehabilitate his reputation, but, he adds, he is now in business in Boston, Mass., and it is not his intention to play again. The facts of McKinnon’s expulsion by the League in 1879 are briefly as follow: By a combination of circumstances he was placed in such a position that he was doomed to an expulsion by either the League or the National Association. The latter had a prior claim upon him, and, recognizing this fact, after taking time for deliberation, he acted the part of an honest man, returning the advance-money paid him by the Troy Club, accompanying it with a letter that ought to have been satisfactory, and remained true to his first contract with the professional club of Rochester, N.Y. The League expelled him, but this punishment was not at all warranted by the facts, and McKinnon was upheld by the National Association.
