Text | It is only a question of time until Spalding’s dream of but one base ball league will become a reality. It will not be three seasons from now until the Association will have been snowed under and the National League will be composed of Pittsburg, Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis in the West, and Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Brooklyn in the East. This has long been the desire of Chicago’s president, and he has been quietly working for its accomplishment ever since the birth of the American Association, and when that body loses some of its best members within the next season or two, it will then occupy the position of one of the minor leagues., quoting the Pittsburgh Globe |
