It is about time that some action was taken in calling together the New York State Association Delegates to meet in convention as appointed at Albany. They have little work to do except to come together and elect officers for the season of 1871, and delegates to the Convention. It would be worth while though while they do this, to also examine into the cause of the disobedience of the last delegates to the National Association from this State in not carrying out the request of the State Convention. There are just five professional clubs in this State, and two of these rules the action of the other delegates at Boston last year. In order to favor the interest of these five clubs those of the remaining eighty odd amateur clubs of the State were sacrificed. The question is, are our amateur clubs going to allow the thing to be done again? If they are, the sooner a new association is formed the better.
