| Text | [quoting the Chicago Tribune of 6/1/1878] It is reported here [St. Louis] that there is more than a prospect of getting the present Indianapolis club to transfer themselves to St. Louis. Negotiations have been going on for some days, and the parties in charge of them said to-day that there was not much doubt of their success. It is alleged that the club was hired too early last season, and that many of the salaries are too high, and the sum total entirely too large for such a city as Indianapolis. The team has not earned its way so far, and the prospect of a considerable deficit is not pleasant. It is hoped that this may be avoided by taking the nine to a larger city, and one which has not been surfeited this season. The matter is to be promoted by Mr. Fowle and others of the Brown Stocking team. Mr. Pettit authorizes the Journal to state that the above report is wholly untrue, and that the club will remain here, as the directors have no idea of making such a change. |
