| Text | [editorial matter] The minor leagues are standing together with the League under the National Agreement, it is true, and 'tis well 'tis true. But whether the League and the minors are running together purely for love of the Agreement time will tell. At present the minor leagues benefit largely by the reserve rule; they also have some player for which the League clubs may become customers. The National League on the other hand already has one fight on its hands and isn't hunting for more. If the Association steps down and out, and a reconstruction of the National Agreement becomes necessary, then we shall see just how great the love of the League is for the minor leagues, and how much it is prepared to do for their perpetuation; but it is quite probable that some of the more ambitious minor league magnates will be disappointed in their hopes and expectations. Meanwhile it is well, however, that the minors are keeping out of the fight and standing by the National Agreement, else chaos would surely come to base ball. |
