Mr. Von der Ahe recognized the fact that “Little Nick” (as Nicol is familiarly called) was a strong drawing card here [Cincinnati] and elsewhere, and it took big monetary inducements as well as a good catcher in exchange to secure “nick's” release from the Browns. The Sporting Life November 24, 1886

Four hundred dollars cash is said to be the sum Cincinnati paid Von der Ahe for Hugh Nicol's release. Catcher Boyle had to be thrown in. Nicol will get $2,100 for the season. The Sporting Life November 24, 1886

Al McKinnon, the big first baseman, will not be found with the Maroons next season, having been released to Pittsburg for a monetary consideration, said to be $500 and young Shomberg, who showed up so well as a batter last season in the American Association. The Sporting Life December 8, 1886
