[quoting J. E. Wagner] What are the inducements offered? Absolutely nothing. It requires no mutual agreement to do away with the conflicting playing dates. Either side could have avoided that the past season had it been deemed advisable. We are not afraid of the League stealing any of our players for two years to come, because they all signed three-year contracts. A few exhibition games would be the only direct benefit of a compromise. I want it understood right here that the Philadelphia Players' Club does not propose to be forced into a circuit with Columbus, Louisville and St. Louis. Neither does the Boston Players' Club.
