| Text | On July 4, 1881, John R. McLean purchased one of the four shares composing the capital stock of the Cincinnati Base Ball Club, and subsequently authorized O. P. Caylor, then in his employ, to act as his agent and to represent him in all matters pertaining to the business of the club, and instructed the club so to recognize Caylor. Yesterday McLean filed a petition in the common Pleas Court in which he alleges that Caylor, no longer in his employ, still claims to be the owner of the share; that the club refuses to recognize him (McLean) or admit him to their meetings, and refuses him access to base ball information to which he is entitled; that the club has earned money in excess of expenses, which it is about to divide among the members, and that it will pay the share in question to Caylor unless restrained, in which event he will be without remedy because Caylor has no property from which a judgment can be realized. Upon the prayer of the petition Judge Avery granted a temporary restraining order, enjoining the club and Geo. H. Herancourt, its treasurer, from paying over to Caylor any dividends or moneys appertaining to the share in the name of Caylor, or recognizing him in any way as the owner thereof, the order to take effect upon McLean giving bond in the sum of $1,000, and to continue in force until the final disposition of the cause. |
