| Text | [reporting on the meeting of the NL Board of Directors] The application of Messrs. Thorner and Caylor for admission of the Star Club of Cincinnati to take the place of the Cincinnati Club in the League for 1880 was then brought up before the Board, together with other applications, one of which was made by Mr. Hewitt on behalf of the National Club of Washington. In this matter Messrs. Sage, Root and Evans were appointed a committee, and they reported in favor of the admission of the new club from Cincinnati, which desired to enter the League unconditionally, fully endorsing the present management and financial policy of the League. The report was adopted, and the names of the two delegates from the Cincinnati Stars thereupon were duly entered on the secretary’s book. The National Club, through Mr. Hewitt, made a qualified application, stating the conditions upon which they would like to enter, a feature of which was a reduction in the League tariff. This was enough to have the League doors shut upon them, and they were finally informed that they would be permitted to withdraw their application.
