The Brotherhood bugaboo is over, and that it is settled that Cincinnati is not to be called into the thick of the fight, some reminiscences of the recent scare are not out of place. While scarecely crediting the story that willing capitalists were lying awake nights thinking of putting a club here as rivals of the Reds, President Stern did not slumer. He traced down, as far as it was possible, every rumor, and, not to be caught asleep, he had papers drawn up to incorporate the League club as the Cincinnati Red Stockings Base Ball Club. This was done to save the name from being transferred to the premised newcomers.
