| Text | [reporting on the AA directors' meeting] ...Mr. Von der Ahe, of the St. Louis Club, made application for the reinstatement of David E. Rose and Thomas Dolan, who jumped contracts with him last season. The proposition caused a two hours' discussion, the general tenor of which was strongly against showing any countenance to contract jumpers. The cases in hand it was decided to refer to the general meeting of the Association. The Sporting Life May 6, 1885 [reporting on the AA special meeting] A motion was made to reinstate all blacklisted, suspended and expelled players and jumper except those disqualified for selling games. This motion provoked much lively talk and had a few supporters. On a division it was lost, however. This brought Von der Ahe to his feet with a written protest against the refusal to reinstate D. E. Rose and Thomas Dolan. He warmly contended these two at least ought to be taken into the fold again. The case of each player was fully discussed and the convention absolutely refused to grant the request of the St. Louis president. The Sporting Life May 6, 1885 |
