The American association made an amusing attempt to “let itself down easy” by passing a resolution requesting the league to consent to the establishment of an association club in Chicago. A casual glance at this resolution would lead many to suppose that the association was simply gaining a point whe5re it had lost one, that is, by consenting to a league club in St. Louis, the association was gaining one in Chicago. Such, however, was not the case. The resolution was prepared simply to cover up the base, wholesale surrender of the association, and it has been admitted that such was the motive of the action taken since the meeting. There is no vacancy in the association, the same circumstances do not exist as in the Cleveland-St. Louis movement, and there was no necessity of the passage of any such resolution.
