|Text=<p>The Toledo Club, which was also on the verge of collapse, has straightened up and is now in condition to play the season out.  When the club’s necessitous condition became known at Toledo, a meeting of stockholders and friends of the club was held at which it was unanimously decided to put the club through the present season, providing the citizens would raise a sufficient amount of money to strengthen the club, and at once subscription blanks were issued and circulated, and a very short time $4,000 of the $5,000 needed were subscribed and Secretary went to Cincinnati, where the club was playing Sunday, and paid up his players’ salaries in full. He says all the money needed to run the club through the season has been secured, and the club will be in the field next year also, which is a decidedly pleasant announcement to make.</p>
