| Text | [from the Baltimore correspondent] If any one believes that the League people are declining in their proverbial diplomacy, they have only to study the true inwardness of the late resolution in relation to released players to be disabused of the idea. They first join the Association in constructing a National Agreement that appears on its face to carry with it the right of the Association to hire a League player after he has first been on the market to them for a stipulated time and vice versa. The Association seems to have joined in this in the interest of patching up the desirable peace, and because they believed there was a bare chance of now and then picking up a League player. Besides this the Association reluctantly agree that the number to be reserved by each club shall be increased to twelve. After gaining these concessions, behold the crafty diplomacy of the League people in passing a resolution whereby they make it impossible for a desirable player to leave their ranks except to be placed among the criminal players on the black-list. |
