| Text | The proposed games between the Cincinnatis and the New Bedfords and the Cincinnati and Worscester Clubs have been declared off. League Clubs are forbidden to play any club which had played against the Flour City since McKinnon was expelled by the Troy Club. Both the Worcesters and New Bedfords have played against McKinnon, and come under the ban. The Bostons also had games arranged with both clubs, but could not play, for same reason. Who are most out of pocket by this, Hulbert’s crowd or the Nationals? We should say the former, decidedly. New York Clipper June 21, 1879 As things are, League clubs cannot play on National grounds, which is as it should be so long as the League clubs will not let National clubs play on its grounds. The backbone and foresight which the Association needed have been forced upon it by the McKinnon expulsion. What money there is in Association towns should be kept for Association clubs, and not given to support rivals who demand everything and concede nothing. The Association can well afford to give the Troy club a vote of thanks for its action. New York Clipper June 21, 1879, quoting the Utica Herald |
