Enquirer culls On all Lea9ue players ito hold
their peace Tor Few weeks ia order TO give
these new clubs chance to bid. There isn't the
least danger that anY player OF prominence will
join these paper clubs, and. il any Of them are
formed, they will be composed Of what tho
League had no use for.
TIE TRIBUNE hns already expressed its optn-
ion on the alleged action Of the League tp ot1st-
Ing Cincinnati from membership. It appears,
however, that there is stlll chance that Ciucin-

The Cleveland Leader has the following para
graph in relation to the howl from Cincinnati:
This same old man Caylor has made Just such
threats repeatedly. and yet he hasn't carried them
out. He talks about Hubert running the League!
Well, maybe he does, aud yet. II he does, he has
made It what it is, and that is IN organization
which can be pointed to with pride BY a respect
able community; and Is more than can be
said Of this man Caylor and bis club. BY bull
doing the Cincinnati Club in 1879, and comment
Ing upon it as he Is now commenting upon the
League, caused that club to come out at the end
OF the eeason in a brokeu-up condition, and
almost blasted the prospects of that city ever
being represented by League team again. He
talks about organizing rival league, and evon
goes so far as to intimate that rival team will
be placed In Chicago! Truly, this ts a wonder
ful man. When he accuses Boss Hubert, as he
calls him, Of having q personal grudge against
the present Cincinnati Club: he talks like. g
child. The only reason Cincinnati was dropped
is because she would not pledge herself to re-
frafn from selling Intoxicating liquors on her
grounds. :: This is the long and short OF tt. And
Cleveland, Eor one, thinks the League was IN
the right for acting as 1t did. Now, then, Mr..
Enquirer, We are waiting tor the explosion"
