The National League is still the leading base ball organization, but solely by reason of prestige and seniority. In all other respects it has now a formidable rival in the American Association, which body has been steadily growing in power, influence and playing strength, and has time and again compelled the League to recognize it as a rival worth conciliating. In point of playing ability also the two organizations are nearly upon a level footing despite the fact that the younger organization has from its inception held to the lower tariff, which indeed has been the main element of success, and has been the main element of success, and has in a great degree contributed to the wide spread and remarkable revival of interest in the National game.
