Text | Yesterday afternoon a representative of the St. Louis Athletic Association walked into the United States Court and asked that the injunction restraining Mullane from playing ball in Missouri be set aside on payment of costs by the defendant. Immediately a representative of the latter stepped forward and expressed a willingness to pay the costs. The clerk figured up the costs which amounted to $51.65. This amount was paid and the injunction immediately set aside. Mullane can now play ball in St. Louis or in any other part of Missouri. The original proceedings were entered by the St. Louis Athletic Association (St. Louis Unions) with whom Mullane had signed a contract, but which he afterward violated. The Sporting News March 5, 1887 Detroit Club calls for support from local businesses A circular has been issued by the Detroit Club, which has been sent to the merchants of this city, making an appeal to them for financial support for the season. The appeal does not ask for contributions in the way of charity, but asks that the business men come forward and purchase liberally of the season books. The price for 63 games has been placed at $25, which entitles the holder to a seat in the grand stand. In the circular, which was evidently prepared by President Stearns, the action of the League is explained which changed the percentage into the guarantee system. The position is taken that the club has advertised the city more than anything else that has ever been done in the way of public organizations. Business men have profited by this and it is thought they should come to the support of the club. The Philadelphia Times March 6, 1887 |
