Mr. Radcliffe has written a letter to a friend in New York, in which he explains his position and the causes which led to his being denounced as a “revolver.”

By this letter it appears that when the Athletic Club came home from their tour last fall Radcliffe resigned and went to New York, and joined the Mutuals. The Athletics sent a committee after him, who offered him a certain sum to go back, and he did so. They gave him a little at a time until the season was over, when they heard that he had joined the Cincinnati club, they concluded to give him the balance – $65 – if he would sign a paper. He did so, and he made arrangements with the Cincinnati Club for the season of 1869.
