Cincinnati will hardly get pitcher McCormick, of the Chicagos, after all. Everything worked well in the negotiations to secure him; he was satisfied to go to Cincinnati; Chicago was willing to release him; all the American Association clubs agreed to keep hands off, and no League club stood in the way until New York upset the kettle with an objection to McCormick's leaving the League on the ground that it (the New York Club) wanted his services and was entitled thereto under the following rule.... This, of course, settles McCormick's prospects of going to Cincinnati, unless the New York Club waive its claim.
