Text | [reporting on the American Association convention] In the executive session there was quite a discussion held in reference to the position of the Metropolitan club, arising from the statement made in the convention that the Metropolitan club—applying for membership in the American Association—and the New York club, jest elected to the membership of the League, were practically but one organization with two club teams, one being assigned to compete for the American championship and the other for that of the League. Messrs. Appleton and Mutrie, the Metropolitan Club delegates, stated that no matter who the gentlemen were who backed the club financially, they were prepared to sustain the laws of the American Association and to work in support of its interest, even if the non-intercourse act of the past season went into force again, and after some further explanations of the status of the Metropolitan Club, the question of election went to a vote, and the club was unanimously elected to membership. |
