Text | [reporting the PL special meeting of 4/2/1890] The next matter which was presented for the consideration of the board was the question as to whether or not it was advisable to permit the reinstatement of certain players, who, after signing a Players' League contract, jumped back to clubs ruled by the National Agreement. This question caused a hot debate, some of the delegates declaring for war all along the line, while others favored a more conservative policy. A compromise was at last effected, and it was unanimously agreed that all players who had signed the Brotherhood agreement or a Players' League contract and who reported for duty in accordance with that agreement or contract on or before April 1 st were eligible to membership in the Players' League. This lets in Mulvey, Delahanty and Beckley, and perhaps a few others who were led into signing National League contracts, but, repenting their action, returned to their pledges. |
