| Text | Concerning the admission of the Cincinnati Unions into the League, in the event of the resignation of Detroit, Mr. Young said he was not prepared to express an opinion. Should such a contingency as the withdrawal of Detroit arise, the League would take steps to secure another club to fill the vacancy, care being taken to secure the most eligible, and one which would materially advance the interests of the association. One other club besides the Cincinnatis had made application for the vacancy if Detroit withdrew, but it was a confidential matter for the present. Cincinnati Enquirer January 9, 1885 [reporting on the upcoming NL special meeting] Concerning the admission of the Cincinnati Union Club no very definite information can be given at this writing. If Detroit resigns, or is dropped by the League, the Queen City Union Club will have a very good chance for the vacancy. President Thorner and another delegate from Cincinnati are here [NYC] to attend the meeting on the invitation of League official and are hopeful. It is the general opinion that the Detroit Club will go to pieces, as it has been losing money for both the stockholders and the other League clubs for several years.
