Text	Lou Dickerson and Bill Taylor were the only players the National agreement clubs could induce to jump Union contracts. These two men were notorious for being among the most insubordinate and dissolute in the profession. To offset their desertion, the Union Association Clubs have had strong accessions from the ranks of the National agreement clubs. Sweeney, Shaw, Atkinson, Black and Baldwin rank among the best players in the profession. Cincinnati Enquirer August 4, 1884 Von der Ahe still opposes the reserve The Post-Dispatch of Saturday contained a clipping in which it was stated that Mr. Von der Ahe and Mr. Williams had proclaimed themselves in favor of the reserve rule. The St. Louis club never has favored or indorsed that rule, and the statement was unwarranted. Neither of the gentlemen have made any reference to the matter, but it is to be presumed that their position will be consistent with what they have done in the past.
