[reporting the International Association meeting 11/21/1888] Mr. Dixon of Hamilton, offered a resolution that no colored player be signed by the International Association. His motion was lost, Hamilton, London and Rochester voting for it. A motion was finally passed that no contracts of colored players except the two now in the League (Walker, of Syracuse, and Grant, of Buffalo,) should be approved. Should either player be released they cannot be signed by any International Association team.
