Text	The National League Association of Base-Ball Players will meet... Cincinnati Enquirer April 26, 1877 Nolan claims about St. Louis offers Nolan states most positively that McManus, of the Browns, offered him $2,100 if he would play for the St. Louis nine next year, with $100 in advance if he would sign the contract then. They further offered him a bonus of $500 if he would not play with the blues any more this season. They also asked him to pretend that his side was sore, so that the managers would release him from his contract, and they offered to get him a certificate from a physician stating that he was unable to play any further this season, but while they promised to do all of this they wanted him to pledge the he would keep in practice until the opening of next season. Louisville Courier-Journal April 26, 1877 [See LCJ 4/27/1877 for the denial.]
