| Text | [editorial matter] Mr. Walter Spalding, the representative of the Chicago Club, has asked a vote of the League clubs on a resolution making the late classification of salaries amendments non-applicable to the players on the Australian trip until fifteen days after their return to the United States, so that they may be put on the same footing as players not in the country. The vote will be taken by mail, and should be unanimously in favor of the Spalding resolution. Doubtless it will be; as, so long as the petted star players are to be given a chance to save their bacon, it would be simply infamous to take advantage of the absence of the equally deserving players no on the way to Australia to deprive them of the period of grace. In just to the absent players, and for the sake of consistency, the Australian tourists must be given an equal chance with the stay-at-homes. Not to give them that chance would be equivalent to setting the seal of condemnation on a most meritorious enterprise, and to indirectly punishing the participants therein. |
