[from an address by Ivers. W. Adams to the founding stockholders of the Boston BB Association:] ...I have some reason for believing the actions of that executive committee [of the Cincinnati Club] was intended, partly at least, for us here, as cold water thrown upon our enterprise; but we knew our men, and instead of giving up the Wright brothers, whom they accused of impossibilities for such men, or of taking one step backward, I took one step forward and secured two more of the “Red Stocking” nine, Messrs. Charles H. Gould and Calvin A. McVey, being just the four players, and those only, the Cincinnati club had proposed to re-engage.
