| Text | The league has been quietly at work ever since the new associations have been organized trying to induce the American association to increase its membership to twelve clubs, on the plea that this will weaken the new associations. Now, this undoubtedly is a fact, but it will also weaken the American association to take in more than eight clubs. The league has worked very industriously to have Brooklyn and Indianapolis admitted to the American association, but it strikes me very forcibly that if there was any advantage to be gained in increasing the number of clubs the league would not wait for the American association to act, but would at once scoop up the new material. As it stands the league is making a cat-s-paw out of the American association. (St. Louis) Missouri Republican December 11, 1883 Some of the delegates are opposed to the admission of any new clubs, as it will lessen the profits of the organizations at present composing it. Other delegates think it absolutely necessary that the clubs should be admitted because if they are refused they will join the new Union association.
