Text	A certain morning paper said that Lucas sunk $40,000 in the Union Association. This is all bosh, but is on a par with the many other wild stories tarted by the enemies of the organization. The truth of the matter is that one-fourth of this amount will more than cover his losses. His own club made money, but he, in common with the Cincinnati Union Club, his main stay in making the fight, was compelled to pay out money to keep up such weaklings as the Boston Unions, Altoonas and Nationals. Mr. Henderson, of the Baltimore and Chicago Unions, who acted honorably all the way through, was the heaviest loser in the Union Association. Had there been two more men in the Union Association like Messrs. Lucas and Thorner, every association in the country would now be paying homage to the young organization.
