"Jim Devlin stood on the verge of stardom. He had pitched Louisville into first place in the National League and seemed capable of continuing to bring them the pennant. But after a disastrous late-season road trip, he was accused by his club of helping to throw games. Admitting his involvement, he was expelled from the club, and along with three of his teammates, was banned by the league from professional baseball for life." - Historian Frederick Ivor-Campbell in Nineteenth Century Stars (1989)
