The Cincinnati Union Club is already making preparations to open the season of 1885 in a most elaborate manner, and will start in on their second season with every thing in ship-shape. The team will be strengthened in the only weak sports, and new buildings will be erected during the winter. President Thorner has since the close of the season received letters from a dozen or more first-class players, stating their terms and desire to link their fortunes with the Cincinnati Union team. … The members of the directory have held a consultation with a well-known architect in reference to the plans for the new buildings, and work will be begun on them some time this winter. Cincinnati Enquirer October 28, 1884

The Cincinnati Unions are now negotiating with a couple of strong League players to fill the positions of first and third bases, made vacant by the release of McQuerry and Cleveland. Both the men with whom they are corresponding rank away up in their profession, and if they are secured, as there are now strong indications they will be, the Cincinnati Union management will indeed have occasion to be proud of their team. Both of the men are now on the reserve lists of League teams, and unless something comes of the negotiations it would be a breach of confidence to publish their names. If they are engaged their names will be given to the public in due time. Cincinnati Enquirer November 1, 1884
