Text	[following a long and detailed condemnation of Al Wright and some other leaders of Philadelphia clubs] Lest this should be misunderstood as an assertion that certain League clubs are opposed to another entry from Philadelphia, it should be said that, so far as The Tribune knows, there is nothing that would be so gladly welcomed as a club of gentlemen, managed by gentlemen, backed by gentlemen, and patronized by gentlemen and ladies in that city. Such an enterprise would pay, and would be a credit to the game. But there should be no mistake about it. There should be no Al Wright in it, and no Spering, or Concannon, or Porter, at the head of it. The players are plenty, the grounds are good, the patrons will find themselves–but where is the head?
