| Text | The number of games played on the South street grounds next season will probably not exceed fifty, and may fall below that number. This is as much as this place will support, and the interest in the games will be greater, resulting in larger attendance. Indianapolis News December 8, 1877 Cincinnati games not counted [reporting on the NL meeting 12/4/1877 - 12/6/1877] [a resolution adopted by the NL] WHEREAS, The Secretary has submitted two tabular statements of championship games played during the past season, the first showing all such games played by the Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, and Hartford Clubs with each other, and the second adding thereto certain games participated in by the Cincinnati Club; and the same having been fully examined a considered; therefore Resolved, 1. That the Cincinnati Club, having failed to pay its annual dues, and having thereby forfeited its membership under the constitution of the League, it is not entitled to have any games participated in by it counted in the championship series, and the table which includes such games in invalid.
