Date	Saturday, April 20, 1878
Text	Mr. Pettit of the Indianapolis proposed at a recent meeting of that club a scheme for grading the salaries of professional players in 1879, which is decidedly unique. The proposition empowers the secretary of the League to be the sole judge of the fielding and batting skill of every League player of 1878, the data on which he is to base his estimate of each player’s skill being the averages he makes up from the scores of the championship games played ruing the present season. Following this will come a fixed salary for each grade of players. ... That something should be done to regulate the salaries of professionals, and to drop the fancy figures which have prevailed of late years, there is no question; but this is no way to do it.
