| Text | Baltimore is again a member of the American Association's circuit. The jump was made at the Burnet House [Cincinnati] this morning. In the eloquent words of Manager Billy Barnie, “the old cow crossed the road,” but raised no dust, for there was absolutely no monetary consideration involved. It goes without saying that the Association magnates received Barnie and his boys back to the old fold with open arms and several cracked bottles. … There was a protest against the contemplated action in the shape of a telegram from Manager Kennedy of the Brooklyns, who said he would be able to finish the season provided the clubs would consent to waive the guarantee. To this proposition Manager Morton of the Toledos objected and right there and then Brooklyn's Association team became a defunct body. The new schedule will begin in Baltimore next Tuesday when the Browns and Orioles will meet... Baltimore assumes Brooklyn's percentage in the race, and will endeavor to pull up by adding to it whatever the team may be able to wrestle from its associates. Manager Barnie said there would be no change in the players except that he expects to land a pitcher and a third baseman in a few days, but he will not sign a Brooklyn player. |
