| Text | The American League, as represented by the Cincinnati Enquirer, is in a terrible to-do about John Troy, Detroit's short-stop for next season, and all because he has left the Athletic Club of Philadelphia and joined the league. This is the first instance of a player being criticised for leaving an amateur club and joining a professional one. Scores of players did this last season. … The professional clubs have always drawn from the amateur ranks, and will necessarily continue to do so in the future. It will be rough on Troy, and the others who have already, or may in the future, better their condition, if after having deserted the American or lager beer league, it should expel him, as it threatens to do. Detroit Free Press December 29, 1881 Harry Wright ousted from Boston An effort was made at the recent annual meeting of the Boston Club to make a change in the directors in favor of the friends of Harry Wright. The move, however, was a failure. Harry will be compelled to look to some new pasture for a position. Detroit Free Press December 29, 1881 |
