The Reading Times suggests that the Active Club change its name to “Reading Club.” It is of the opinion that the name was good enough for an amateur, but a professional club shoud bear the name of the city on which it sheds glory. Wilmington papers also urge the Quicksteps to change their name. The Sporting Life February 27, 1884

The name Quickstep, which has been attached to Wilmington's crack base ball nine for so many years, has been at last dropped and the home club named Wilmington. The Sporting Life April 9, 1884
