June 13, 1885
NEW YORK CLIPPER, New York, June 13, 1885. Inside has a report about a special meeting of the American Association involving rule changes and in particular, the reserve clause. Also the summaries and box scores of at least thirty-five Amer. Assoc. and NL baseball games, including a game between the St. Louis and Chicago teams with mention of the formal opening of the "new and handsome grounds at Chicago" plus word about the large crowd and "...an unusually large number of ladies, who were presented an elegant souvenir. Austins First Regiment Band gave a concert prior to the game." About Daily it says: "Hugh Daily, the one armed pitcher, made his first appearance with the St. Louis club. He was very wild giving...eight men bases on balls." "From The Hub" says Ferguson is the only competent umpire in the NL and more. Nice illus. ad on the bkpg. for "Base Ball Uniforms" (see inset on pg. 20). Lite wear at the spine. Great content!
