Text	Messrs. Lucas and Thorner, the respectively Presidents of the St. Louis and Cincinnati Clubs, are perfecting arrangements for a complete reorganization of the Union Association in 1885. Eight clubs are to form the association, together with an Eastern and Western alliance. A large guarantee fund is to be placed in the hands of the Association Treasury at the annual meeting, and this fund is to be used in assisting clubs needing help during the season, and to aid them in strengthening their respective nines. The $75 guarantee rule is to be done away with, and all clubs will give 30 per cent. of their gross receipts to teams visiting them. By such an arrangement it is believed the association as a whole will be placed upon a paying basis. Of the eight cities which are to be admitted to membership, three have a population of over one hundred thousand each, two have a population of over two hundred thousand each, while the three remaining have a population of over three hundred thousand each.
