Scramble for Players as Thurman Deposed in Baseball Association
New York Feb 18 An urgent conference of the American Baseball Association led by William Barnie voted to depose President Thurman and withdraw from the National Agreement. Louis Kramer of Cincinnati was chosen as successor, with committees to overhaul Thurman’s records and revise by laws and rules. A fierce player scramble is expected, with Roger Connor and Danny Richardson already linked to the new association and others like Grouthers and Pfeffer likely to follow.

Definition of a Lady and Honor in Society
A letter discusses that applying the title lady indiscriminately devalues it while gentlemans and esquires are similarly misused. Eliot’s definition of a lady emphasizes veracity and refined habits. A true lady, the writer argues, embodies high civilization and ought to inspire high standards.
