There is a movement on foot looking to the formation of an anti-League association among such clubs as the Buckeyes, Indianapolis, Alleghenies, Aetnas, Harrisburgs, Neshannocks, St. Louis Red Stockings, Rhode Islands, Syracuse Stars, and others of this class. An admission fee to games of 25 cents is proposed, also an article of agreement prohibiting the playing of exhibition games with League clubs. Philadelphia Item September 3, 1876

Mr. L. C. Waite, secretary of the St. Louis Red Stockings, has sent out circulars to the semi-professional clubs, proposing a non-league association, and inviting an expression of opinion upon the subject. The author of the circular suggests that under no circumstances should the clubs of the association play League clubs, and that only 25 cents admission to games be charged. New York Sunday Mercury October 22, 1876
