Brush exposes Spalding bid to form baseball trust

John T. Brush claims A G Spalding proposed a baseball trust modeled on the bicycle trust. He says Spalding sought Robison’s and Hart’s agreement in Chicago, sharing a plan to license players and leagues under a board of control and to use options to control clubs. Brush cites a July 15 1901 letter illustrating the plan and warns of potential ruin for Cincinnati if broad options were granted.

Local horsemen weighed who would ride Thomas W. Lawsons Boralma next season. Myron E. McHenry, Andy McDowell, John Shilllinglaw, Tom Marsh, and James Golden were named as possibilities. McHenry appears likeliest if Lawson seeks a trainer, with McHenry wintering in New York and Boralma held in high regard. Rumors also place Ed Geers with Boralma, though Geers may decline to ride behind The Monk if wintering well and the chestnut gelding remains in class.
