| Text | [from Chadwick's column] What was the position of the players of the National League at the ending of the season of 1889? There were in command of high salaries—three to six thousand dollars for seven months of service—paid them by thoroughly responsible clubs. They were subject to no harsh laws in their club government, nor to any arbitrary enactments controlling them, which timely legislation—urged in the interest of club management on the plan of true business principles—would not have removed in the near future. But they ran wild after the ignis fatus of an impossible co-operative system in the management of professional clubs, and urged on by leaders looking only to self-aggrandizement they deliberately dropped the substance of the marrow bone of League employment which they had a command, and grasped the shadow of the Brotherhood League, and what has been the result? Let the present demoralized condition of the professional base ball world answer. |
