Text	A letter from Cincinnati says: “Several professionals are reported as having an engagement with the Buckeye Club next season. I can assure you the report is erroneous. The Bucks intend having an amateur home nine. So far from having a professional nine, I doubt very much if they will accept a challenge from a professional club. One year’s experience with an imported nine was sufficient; home players were debarred from playing, or even practicing, while their pockets were taxed for those whose interest in the club was their weekly salaries. You may rest assured that the Buckeyes will not be troubled with “revolvers,” who carry their pockets filled with offers from clubs, thereby keeping a club in a stew from the beginning to the end of a season.
