| Text | [reporting on the AA special meeting of 10/23/82] New applicants for membership were presented by Henry Gundersheimer for the Columbus Club, James Mutrie for the New York Club, William Barnie for the Baltimore club, J. A. Evans and A. C. Richter for the Camden (N.J.) Club, and William Petterson for the Aetna Club, of Chicago. ... The subject of new admissions was then taken up; the resignation of the old Baltimore Base Ball Club was read and accepted. The Association then acted upon an agreement drawn up by Mr. Kramer, to the effect that the Association for 1883 shall consist of clubs from Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville, Columbus, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. For this purpose the applications of the new Baltimore Club, the Columbus Club and the New York Club were accepted, and an agreement signed pledging the Association to admit these clubs at the annual meeting in December, and authorizing the Secretary meanwhile to receive and record all contracts sent to him by these three clubs, which shall then be of full force and effect. The Camden Club and Chicago Aetnas showed good financial backing, but there were not admitted, for the sole reason that a schedule could not well be arranged for ten clubs. As it is, the eight clubs above named have advantages in location and prestige never before embraced in base ball associations. |
