The moral ground assumed by the League as the ostensible cause of its action against the Cincinnati Club is untenable. The Chicago Club entertained no such scruples against Sunday games when it sent its team to California; nor was there any strenuous objection against beer when the sale of it “paid” on the old Chicago field. The whole matter seems to be governed by a desire to get rid of a club whose official action is far too independent and uncontrollable by the power that be to admit of their being allowed to remain in the League.
