| Text | The directors of the Buffalo Club held a meeting on Jan. 21, and among other topics the subject of joining the League was thoroughly discussed, but no definite action was taken in regard to the matter. The Commercial says: “The subject, it is well known, is attracting much attention in baseball circles, and strong efforts are being made to get the Buffalo nine into the League. The managers do not think favorably of the proposition, they failing to discover any material good that would come of such a move, and therefore do not propose to enter the field with the Western clubs, the coming season, at any rate. There are now twelve first-class nines in this State, and it is not unlikely that they will organize a league of their own in order to have a series of matches for an inter-State championship, provided, of course, that the clubs in other States organize in the same way. This is a good idea, and no doubt if it resolves itself into practical shape, thepopular sport will assume a greater national interest than formerly, because then every State will feel a special pride, and the citizens will take as great, if not greater, individual interest than that which characterized them when a local contest takes place, or when the ‘crack’ teams of two cities meet. |
