 Although there are no records for his time there he must have done good enough seeing that after his one-year stint at the club he was signed to the Wisconsin club in 91.There he developed his nickname "Smiling Jim" due to him smiling sarcastically before striking out any batter.This also must have been a successful season for Hughey because in 1891 when the Cincinnati team was removed from the American Association and replaced with the Milwaukee club Hughey was one of the only players’ contract they bought back.
