Text	[from an interview of Henry Lucas, responding to an interview of George Mills, secretary of the St. Louis AA Club] “How about the circumstances under which Mr. Von der Ahe gave his consent to your admission to the league?” “He has removed the pledge of secrecy I gave him on this score to save his pride, by having his secretary attempt to state the terms of our agreement. Mr. Von der Ahe refused all entreaties to give his consent until he was warned by his associates in the American association, that there would be war if he did not yield. He then tried to dicker with me, and wanted me to pay him $4,000 for the privilege to run my club here. I flatly refused. He then came down in his terms, but I refused to make any trade with him. He then unconditionally surrendered, although he tried to have the impression go out that I had acceded to his terms.” (St. Louis)
