The dismemberment of the American Association and its consequent virtual destruction by the National League is nuts for the Brotherhood League and gives the latter just the opportunity to make good desertions from its ranks and to carry on reprisals it had been looking for; in fact, things could not have shaped themselves more favorably for the Brotherhood had the latter ordered it so. The first move was made yesterday [11/15] when Arthur Irwin went to Philadelphia and signed Matt Kilroy, of the Baltimores, for the new Boston Club. Kelly brought the news to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and created considerable excitement thereby, and when “Kel” further declared that Tucker would also sign, the hearts of the Brotherhood men beat through exultant feelings.
