dissatisfaction with the NL uniforms

The new uniforms for the Boston club,made in accordance with the league legislation, arrived the past week, and to say that the players are extremely disgusted with them is a light expression of their feelings. Some of them look like clowns, and all are dissatisfied with the makeup of the uniforms. The shirts are very thick, and, in hot weather, will be very uncomfortable, while the pants are very thing and apparently made of poor material, consequently, if a player slides to his base, it must be at the risk of scraping his skin or tearing his pants. The rules for washing the uniforms are long and the source of no small amusement. President Soden of the league expresses his dissatisfaction at the way the uniforms look, and the opinion is pretty general that the legislation creating the system will be rescinded at the next meeting of the league.
