Text	The relapsing of the Union Club of Morrisania and Buckeye of Cincinnati to the full condition of amateurs, threw some dozen first-class players out of employment. These have been added to the playing stock of other clubs, needing but one or two men to complete first-class nines, and the “weak spots” complained of heretofore have consequently been strengthened. Beside these quite a number of good players, graduates of amateur clubs, have gone into the professional business. With a market well filled—which was never the case before—it has become an easy matter to strengthen clubs, and first-class organizations will not longer present a patched-up field of “rank and file.” New York Daily Tribune April 3, 1869 The [Buckeye] club will play as an amateur nine. The club have unanimously resolved to dispense with professionals, having come the to conclusion that tossing the ball themselves was more beneficial than looking on and paying men to do it for them. New York Sunday Mercury May 2, 1869
