Text	The principal argument against the proposed change [moving the Hartford Club to Brooklyn] is that Mr. Bulkeley, a great lover of the sport, is wealthy, and can afford to keep the club here [in Hartford] if he chooses to do so, even at a pecuniary loss, simply to gratify his love for the game. With the club in Brooklyn it would be impossible for him to see games played as often as he would like to. All that he wants is to have the Hartford people allow him to manage his club as he sees fit, without proffering him advice in relation to what it is best for him to do. He places implicit confidence in Ferguson’s management, and will brook none of the too current talk about mismanagement of the nine and crooked play, which was rife here last year, especially after Bond and Ferguson had their trouble, and which was very offensive to him. This talk is what will result in the loss of the club to Hartford, if anything does, which, by the way, is by no means certain.
