Text	[from an interview of Charles Byrne] We have not been invited into the League and don't propose to invite ourselves. Brooklyn is a great ball town, and we owe it to our patrons and ourselves in such a matter as this to stand on our dignity. If we were invited I don't know what we might do. That is another question. … And let me add one thing more. I would not be human if I did not feel hurt at the slanderous things that have been going the rounds of the press the country over and about me of late. People read them and read them again and think, seeing them so much, that there must be something in them. As they are untrue and unjust, they hurt me, and I intend to stand it no longer. The Sporting Life September 25, 1889 [from an interview of Aaron Stern] I am preparing to remain in the Association, though I will frankly acknowledge that if the League were to offer me a franchise I would take it.
