| Text | As soon as the disposition of the cases of the blacklisted men by the League was announced, Mr. Lucas sent on five drafts of $1,000 each, and on receipt of these President Young declared the players above-named eligible to contract April 29, just one day before the League championship season commences, which shows that Messrs. Lucas, Young, Spalding, et al. Calculated their scheme to a nicety. The money thus paid n will be placed in the League treasury and will be sued for association purposes. Of the fines imposed, Mr. Lucas will pay those of his own men, while he advanced the money to Glasscock, Briody and McCormick to pay theirs. The Sporting Life April 29, 1885 Lucas can’t play AA expelled players It was generally rumored around town to-day that both Rowe and Gleason would be played by the St. Louis Club against the Chicagos, and that Mr. Lucas was waiting for a consultation with Mr. Al. Spaulding, president of the Chicago Club, on the subject. The latter gentleman arrived from Chicago this morning and registered at the Southern. When questioned in regard to the matter, Mr. Spaulding said: “From all the data that I have I don’t see how Rowe, Gleason and Doland can be played to-day. They are to-day expelled members of the American Association, and as the League proposes to stand by the National agreement we can’t play them. No, they can’t be played unless Mr. Lucas has some information which is not in my possession.” St. Louis Post-Dispatch April 30, 1885 |
