| Text | At a meeting held in Milwaukee yesterday, the Union Base-ball Association was formally disbanded and the new Western Association formed. The new association adopted a resolution never to allow any club playing under the management of Lucas of this city or Thorner of Cincinnati to join it. Clubs will be organized in Indianapolis, Toledo, Columbus and St. Paul. Neither Lucas or Thorner were present at the meeting. Mr. Lucas is in Milwaukee to-day. St. Louis Post-Dispatch January 16, 1885 The only teams represented at the meeting of the Union Base-ball Association, held here [Milwaukee] this afternoon [1/15], were those of the Kansas City and Milwaukee. The failure of President Lucas to either appear in person or submit a communication to the association [was] severely criticised, and it was decided to disband the Union and make an attempt to reorganize a new league under the National and American League agreement. The meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the President, A. V. McKim, of Kansas City, having been selected as temporary occupant of that position. Cincinnati Enquirer January 16, 1885 Those present were by no means discouraged, and hoped for the best from the apparent poor aspect. Several plans of reorganization were laid before the meeting, but all rejected. Finally Mr. “Ted” Sullivan of Kansas City, and Director Kipp of Milwaukee were chosen by those present to communicate with the clubs at Toledo, Columbus and Cleveland, and with the clubs of St. Paul and Minneapolis as a joint team for the two cities. They were to sound the views of the members of those clubs as to reorganization and the best mode of it. It was further decided that the new league shall be formed under the “tripartite agreement,” which now governs the national associations. The short meeting was then adjourned subject to the president’s call, to await the result of the correspondence of Messrs. Sullivan and Kipp. (St. Louis) Missouri Republican January 16, 1885 |
