They first shook hands and then a half-hour's conversation ensued, which resulted in Mr. Von der Ahe promising to no longer oppose Mr. Lucas, but to do all in his power towards making League club in St. Louis successful. The terms of the agreement and the concessions made by each party were for good reasons kept private. It is said that Mr. Lucas conceded Mr. Von der Ahe a sum in damages--$2,500 is the amount stated—but this is all guesswork. Not even the delegates to the American Association meeting were let into the secret.
