Text	[reporting the special meeting of the AA 9/1/83] The meeting was for consultation and action upon important matters. The tripartite agreement, which includes the reserve rule, was unanimously endorsed. … the meeting was harmonious, all the clubs reporting strong financial success and a determination to continue next season. … The project of a new base ball association that will not recognize the reserve rule, and will put opposition clubs in several American cities, was received with derision. It is headed by Pratt, the late manager of the Allegheny Club, and is all on paper. The Association thinks that players will prefer to remain with clubs which have, and will continue to pay, good salaries to going into an experimental organization, such as the one proposed for the new association, even if it should get so far as to organize.
