[from the Louisville correspondent] Right here I would like to say a few things about Cleveland. I think that the Cleveland officials are very much disappointed because those of the other clubs have not been tearing their hair and rushing around, begging them not to desert them. There has been no haste to lasso the Cleveland Club and drag it back into the Association. Consequently the Clevelanders will stay of their own accord. If Cleveland wants to go out of the American Association, for heaven's sake let her go. There are a number of better ball cities conveniently located. Cleveland is now the poorest ball town in the Association. She has a set of directors who are continually kicking and saying what they would do in the League. Let 'em go to the League, and take Brunell and all their other baggage with them—that is, if the League would have them, which I doubt exceedingly.
