Text	“The League, said Mr. Spalding, “by the abolishment of the ‘sales system’ and classification rule and by the payment of $250 to Sutcliffe, although technically there was no legal obligation to do this, as Sutcliffe did not sign a Brotherhood contract with the Detroit Club in 1887 containing the salary-reservation clause, has given the players more than they asked for, all of which carries out my promise to Ward that the matters referred to in our June conference could safely be intrusted to the League for a fair consideration and settlement at its annual meeting. “The League has up to the present time given the Brotherhood everything they have asked for, and if after this action the players are determined to make an effort to break the League and join a rival organization, they must prepare themselves to take the consequences.
