| Text | Harry Vonderhorst, the wealthy Baltimore brewer and financial backer of the Baltimores, now says that he started out with the intention of running the Baltimore club two seasons whether they finished first or last. He would render the required assistance both this year and next. If the club is composed of as bad material and as poorly managed next season as this Vonderhorst's purse will have a heavy drain on it, as people will not patronize as they did this summer. Von der Horst says he is willing to lay out large sums of money, and will get the best players at any price. He has not lost much, if anything, this season, for Baltimore is one of the best-paying ball cities in the country. The Philadelphia Times September 19, 1886 claimed right of the League to oust Kansas City and Washington The Pittsburgs...will in all probably take the place of the Kansas Citys. Right here we are asked how the League will get rid of the Kansas City team. At the time the Kansas Citys and Washingtons were admitted to League membership there was some doubt as to their eligibility and they were compelled to hand in their blank resignations with the understanding that the League should have the right to act upon them at any time. For this reason they can be ousted from the League at any moment. The Sporting News September 20, 1886 |
