Text	[reporting on the AA meeting of 3/12/1883] The sections in regard to making the playing with league and league alliance an expellable offense were expunged, and in their place one was adopted, the breaking of which is punishable by expulsion. It forbids any of the nines from playing or presenting in its nine any player who shall have been released from any other professional club from the same city. This little enactment was decided upon to prevent the New York club from drawing upon either its league or American nine to strengthen the other. In other words, the clubs in that metropolis, it having control of both nines, can not now now, if it finds that its league representative is unable to win the championship, transfer players from that body to the American nine, provided it stands some show of securing the pennant, and thus add to its playing power.
