| Text | While every professional club–now outside of the League–can join the International Association at trifling expense, of course none of these can enter the International championship arena unless they can bind themselves to carry out the engagements of the championship series of games. In considering this question the Championship Committee will, of course, be guided by the number of clubs entering and their locality. It will be desirable to limit the entries to such clubs as are located on good paying circuits, for it will not pay a club this season to go out of its way to a city simply to play a championship match. It, of course, will happen that a club located in a small town between two large cities, or on a regular traveling route between two baseball centres, will be a more desirable club to have enter the lists than a stronger playing club would be if located in some city or town off the route of regular travel. This season professional clubs will have to consider traveling expenses more than ever they have done, for the utmost economy in this respect, as well as in their salary lists, will be absolutely necessary to carry them through. |
