Date	Saturday, September 4, 1875
Text	The Louisville (Ky.) Club, the new professional organization, has filed its papers of corporation, and is now looking for talent for the season of 1876. the club is founded on a very solid bases, and, having a large capital to start on, $20,000, and solid men to back it, it starts in under as favorable auspices as any club in the country. Louisville has always had the reputation of having a fine amateur organization, and now she proposes to bed steep for a professional team that will rank high in the championship list. W. W. Haldeman, President of The Courier-Journal Company, has been elected president; Charles E. Chase, vice-president; and T. B. Cratcher, one of Louisville's solid iron merchants, secretary. Harry Wright was offered $5,000 to manage the new club, but declined the tempting offer.
