| Text | News from various non-league cities indicates that there is quite a unanimity of sentiment that the time has come when the interests of non-league clubs demand positive instead of negative legislation, and, unless the league shall be able to work a change of feeling in the minds of their opponents, it is probable that the International Association will vote not to give a guarantee to any club playing on their grounds, which is equivalent to a refusal to play league clubs, since the latter are pledged to play no club that refuses to give such guarantee. The present indication is that they will not rest here, but will utterly refuse to play league clubs on any condition until the league modifies its rules of intercourse. The battle ground for the next month will doubtless be in Lowell, Syracuse and London, where an element is at work to induce the Lowells, Stars and Tecumsehs to cast their lot with the league. This latter association sees that if it can win over these clubs, which are representative in their districts, that the battle is substantially won. The Internationals will be less powerful antagonists without these strong allies; indeed, it would appear that no resistance of any moment could be offered without the cooperation of these clubs. Both associations need them, and will strive hard for an alliance. |
