This morning Director R. T. Sheckells, Secretary J. T. Smith and Manager G. W. Brackett of the Quincy Club met at the office of President Lucas, and made application to take the place of the Keystones in the Union Association. They claimed to havew a club able to hold its own with any in the Union, and said that they were willing to show their club’s strength by putting it against the Unions to-morrow afternoon. They claim to have two pitchers, both of whom are the equal of Foutz, and two catcher, both of whom are better men than Baldwin. Of fourteen games just played, the Quincy’s won twelve, and three of these were from the Bay Citys, they on one occasion batting Foutz out of the box. When they left the Northwestern League they were in the lead in the race for the pennant, so that they justly lay claim to the title of champions. St.
