Date	Sunday, December 9, 1877
Text	[reporting on the NL meeting 12/4/1877 - 12/6/1877] The Hartford Club also sent in a letter, which was half applicaiton and half claim. Mr. Douglas, President of the Club, seemed to desire “to remain in the League,” thus assuming or claiming a franchise in it as the success of the old Hartford team. He telegraphed also that he would send Robert Ferguson as delegate, but in that he failed, as Ferguson did not present himself. ... After considering the case, the Board resolved that the Hartford Club was not a member of the League; that is, that it did not fall into the franchise abandoned by Ferguson. It will be proper for Mr. Douglas to make an applicaiton before March 1, if he chooses, and there seems a good show of his getting in if he does. It was, however, clearly the duty of the Board to refuse to permit a new organization to take the place of an old one to which it was in no way a successor.
