| Text | [reporting on the AA special meeting of 9/1/83] The secretary was ordered to notify [the Metropolitans] that if they wish to retain their membership in the Association next year, they must at once cut loose from every other club, and have a separate and distinct management, and a separate and individual ground. This means that unless the Mets pull away from the New York League Club, and get grounds other than on the Polo Grounds for 1884, they must step down and out. The Association have been grossly imposed upon by the Metropolitans' management, which, it has been discovered, is but a secondary part of the League Club. If they remain a member for next year, they will have to vacate their present grounds and locate away from the League club. The secretary was also requested to notify the Mets that if any one connected with the Mets had anything to do directly or indirectly, in organizing or giving encouragement to any other club, a member of any other Association, they would be promptly expelled. This grew out of a rumor that Mutrie was about to remove his Newark Club to Hartford, to join the Independent organization. The Sporting Life September 10, 1883 [N.B. No Metropolitan delegate attended.] |
