Text | The past week has developed who is at the bottom of the movement which shut the Cincinnati Club out of its park, and also develops that there is every probability of a strong Union Association Club in this city next season. The principal men concerned in the movement of John McLean, proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and Mr. Justus Thorner, ex-president of the Cincinnati Club. These it was who leased the Cincinnati's ground. A new club in this city, backed by that great paper the Enquirer, will not be sneezed at, and that such a club will be started seems now assured. If Mr. McLean does not go into the scheme, it will at least have the support of his paper, as he is very friendly to the Union Association and not at all friendly to Stern, Caylor & Co., and other prominent gentlemen will take the matter up. |
