| Text | The Philadelphia nine will be a strong one next season, and there is every reason to believe that it will be admitted to the League. Manager Reach has just returned from a Western trip, and it is rumored that he brings with him contracts with several fine players. The Philadelphia Item September 17, 1882 As premised in these columns, several weeks ago, the League has held a special meeting, and this city was honored by its presence. The delegates arrived on Thursday evening, and when the meeting was called to order, on Friday morning, every club was represented. The only business of importance was the reception of the resignations of the Troy and Worcester clubs. For their places in the League several applications were presented including the Philadelphia and Metropolitan clubs. The applications were laid over until the regular annual meeting of the League, when the Philadelphia and Metropolitan will undoubtedly be elected to fill the gap occasioned by the withdrawal of Troy and Worcester. The Philadelphia Item September 24, 1882 [The Troy and Worcester resignations were not in fact officially received until the regular December meeting.] It is now a settle fact that the Philadelphia club will be in the League next season. The patrons of the game should be proud of this as it makes Philadelphia, with League and American Association clubs, the most important base ball city in the country.
