The American Association held a special meeting on October 23, in Columbus, O. Two new clubs were admitted, the successful applicants being the New York, under the management of James Mutrie, and the Columbus club, under the management of H. B. Phillips. The policy of the League in taking players signed with the American clubs was severely criticised. The Allegheny and other clubs will contest violations of contract in court. Permission was given to the clubs composing the association to employ any of the black-listed or expelled players, such such as have been expelled for crooked play. The question of expulsion of the Cincinnati club for violation of rules, in playing League clubs, was considered, and a motion to expel was lost by a vote of 2 to 2. the Allegheny and St. Louis clubs voted for expulsion, and the Louisville and Athletic against it. The Cincinnatis were reprimanded and fined. The annual meeting of the American Association will be held December 13, in New York City.
