| Text | William Stromberg, one of the most enterprising business men of the West End will probably be the new president of the Maroon, providing that the new stock company is formed. It was Mr. Stromberg who started the ball rolling in the matter of subscriptions by taking $10,000 worth of stock. The Sporting News August 30, 1886 On last Monday night a meeting was held at the Lindell Hotel for the purpose of organizing an association to purchase the St. Louis League Club and to pay off its indebtedness. ... Mr. Espenschied was questioned by several of those present as to whether the League would have the right to oust the St. Louis League Club if any any time it found what promised to be a better representative. He replied that the courts had already recognized base ball as a legitimate business and would protect its interests. Mr. Wiman’s suit against the American Association, who tried to oust the Metropolitans, had proven that. Therefore, as long as the St. Louis League Club kept its dues paid up there was no fear of its being ousted. The Sporting News September 6, 1886 |
