[reporting on a directors meeting of the St. Louis club] Manager Williams read an interesting communication from Manager Spalding, in which he proposed that a conference be held very shortly for the purpose of arranging a series of games between the reserve teams for an emblem, such as a pennant, the same to be regularly scheduled and dates. The Cincinnati Club will of course go into such a schedule, and Manager Williams was instructed last night to write to Cleveland and induce them to join hands in the matter.

The conference at Chicago yesterday between the representatives of the Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Milwaukee and St. Louis clubs was an entire success, and a schedule was adopted... A tax of $10 each will be levied upon each club for the purpose of buying a pennant, which will be the trophy to be contested for. ... The arrangements for gate admissions will be uniform, 25 cents being the general charge for admission. Of this sum, or at least for each admission, the visiting club will receive 12½ cents...
