| Text | There is some very good material in the Association, but taking the League Clubs as a standard the fact remains that there is not a really first-class club in the organization. The Cincinnati is the best of the lot, but there isn't a club in the League that couldn't knock the Cincinnati boys out of time without any trouble whatever. … There is a good reason for this. The League had the pick of all the players of the country at the start and the Association had to get along the best way it could. But there is a change coming. Things will be different another year. The Association is an established fact. There is no longer any doubt about it. It has made more money than the League, and success tells. The best men are looking for positions in the Association clubs, and next season these clubs will be able to hold their own with any in the country. Philadelphia Times September 10, 1882 a high delivery [Louisville vs. Cincinnati 9/11/1882] Mullane had his arm up to his head and threw with the utmost indifference as to height. His delivery is simply a disgrace, and should never be allowed by any umpire. And yet Hecker, who will occupy the points for the Louisvilles to-day, is equally unfair in his delivery.
