We are glad to see that the leading professional clubs are ignoring . The action of Radcliffe has led to his dismissal from the Cincinnati Club. It appears, from what we are informed by our Philadelphia correspondent, that Radcliffe received a bonus of $65 from the Athletics, in consideration of signing an agreement that we would play with that club. With the money thus received he started the next day for Cincinnati. In fact, he had his ticket for Cincinnati in his pocket when he signed the agreement. The Cincinnati Club were promptly notified of the facts, and they replied that if the charge could be sustained, they would have nothing to do with Radcliffe. Suffice it to say, that he is now in Philadelphia. Report states that Hatfield did the same thing with the Cincinnati Club but we cannot credit it, as the Mutuals have determined not to receive any into their club.
