ASSOCIATION CONSERVATION.
The Grounds at Cincinnati and Cleveland in
League Hands.

League Hands.
CINCINNATI, March lit was nearly
midnight Monday night when the assccia-
tion managers learned that johnson had
sold out. The news created CONSERVATION,
as all their plans were based ON his fidelity,
and he was denounced in the bitterest
terms. Jolinson's treachery has killed the
associations hopes in this city. The terms
of the deal with Johnson include everything
over which the latter had control. They
embrace the lease of the Brotherhood Park
in Cleveland and the lease of the grounds at
Cincinuati, which fall into the possession of
the National League. The price was S26,000
cash and $1,000 III notes. Among other mat
tiers that fail into the leagues hands by the
transfer are the contracts Of Delehanty and
Tebeau, which johnson claimed were per-
sonal ones with him, aud the general papers
and stock Of the Cincinnati Club, which the
firm Of Stern q Stern turned over at the sale
made when Cincinnati was bought out by
the Brotherhood.
The negotiations had been in progress all
day and the business has been of the most
exacting nature. O'Neiil will probably go
from here to Cincinnati and at once put the
affairs of the club in that city in good order.
All the contracts of Cincinnati players made
by Johnson were turned over to the league
and the men will report to the new manage
ment Of the Cincinnati Club the coming
season. Among other things in the agree
ment with johnson is the clause whereby
he stipulates that he will notengage in base
bali for ten years.
In speaking of the deal johnson said Il
am glad to be out of it. l hope the associa-
tion will fight and win: but the Kelly epi-
sode and fears that | might get thrown
down again dictated the sale. l am going
to Europs soon OH my wedding tour. l
would have signed an agreement not to go
into baseball again for century or two. l
have had tough time, but have done the
best l could at all times. l am not ashamed.
l am acting honorabiy. Kelly will now
play in Boston"
The American Association people to-day
brought suit against AL johnson and several
league people, charging them with conspir-
acy to tbwart the purpose of the purchase Of
the Cincinnati Club last October, and pray
ing for receiver to sell the club and fran
chise. A temporary Injunction was granted
against the use by the defendants OF the
