| Text | The list of expelled men makes a more formidable array than those on the black.-list. Although the Union Association took no 0parti n the disreputable business of contract-breaking until the season was half over, and only then when they were forced to by the outrageous attack of the National agreement followers, sill they have more expelled than black-listed men. The first contract-jumper employed by the Union Association was Boyle, who left the Actives, of Reading, Penn, to join the St. Louis Unions. About this time Moore and Barnie McLaughlin left the same club to accept engagements with the National and Kansas City Clubs, respectively. This broke up the Active team, but in the face of this fact these men were reinstated by the Eastern League the other day. The list of men expelled for jumping contracts to joint the Union Association is made up of: Sweeny, Dolan and Rowe, of the St. Louis Union Club. McCormick, Briody and Glasscock, of the Cincinnati Unions. Shaw, of the Boston Unions. Kid Baldwin, Jerry Sweeny and Decker, of the Kansas City Unions Atkinson, of the Chicago Unions. Powell and Fulmer, of the Nationals, of Washington |
