Carlton, that is one of the very few books I have never seen in over 50 years of collecting. Very nice. I will try to post my Chadwick History of Cricket and Lacrosse to have 2 early Lacrosse items in the same thread.

Great thread guys! I'll join in: after the 1890 season the Players League was seeking to strengthen themselves for the then anticipated 1891 season. To do this they dropped Buffalo and negotiated the purchase of Cincinnati(who had been in the NL in 1890). This is the actual document consummating that sale for $40,000. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter Albert Spalding convinced the Players League backers to throw in the towel and after somewhat lengthy court proceedings Cincinnati ended back in the NL in 1891. One looking at annual records would assume they never left but for a short period of time they did.
