Mr. George Munson, the Maroons old secretary has left that body to accept the secretaryship of the St. Louis Brows. Mr. Munson in leaving the Maroons carried with him the well wishes of every one interested in the League organization. We do not mean by this that they were glad to see him “get out” as it were, but that they were glad to see him better himself financially. Mr. Munson took hold of the Maroons when their star was in the ascendancy and has stood by them through thick and thin. The

friends of that club naturally, therefore, regret the step he has taken. But that he had fair and sufficient reasons for making the change will develop before many moons, or at least in due time and season. The Sporting News January 15, 1887

It was merely a question of salary with George. The Browns being in a prosperous condition just now, offered him a two-years' contract at a good salary, and he accepted the offer just as he had a right to do. The Sporting News January 15, 1887
