Text | It seems that Tony Mullane has not passed the shoals and breakers, notwithstanding the fact that a Cincinnati judge decided that the injunction granted against Mullane in Missouri would not hold in Ohio. It now appears that Mullane, after having played elsewhere, can be punished for contempt of court on his appearance in Missouri. But the matter does not end here, for on Monday last Messrs. Pattison & Crane, attorneys for the St. Louis Athletic Association, filed a petition and bond in the Circuit court at St. Louis for the removal of the case to the United States Circuit Court [sic: probably District Court]. If an injunction is granted in the latter court against Mullane, he will be prohibited from playing anywhere in the United States. Whatever other faculties Mr. Lucas may have, one thing is certain, he is quite a stayer and seems determined to continue the fight to the bitter end against the American Association. The Sporting Life June 11, 1884 The statement that in St. Louis had been removed from the Circuit to the Federal Circuit Court by the Lucas party is incorrect. Mullane and the Toledo Club caused the removal in opposition to the wishes of the Lucas party. The Sporting Life June 18, 1884 |
