| Text | The Boston players claim that their fielding has been seriously interrupted by the cries of the crowd, which begin as soon as a fly is struck, and prevent one player from hearing another. Several balls were lost from this cause yesterday. If audiences would refrain from any kind of demonstration whatsoever until a play is completed, they will facilitate the work of the home team and of visiting teams. Boston Herald May 20, 1885 the status of the National Agreement [from a letter from McKnight] As the resolution adopted at our meeting of April 27th shows, we propose to respect all contracts of the National League and of all National Agreement organization and to consider the National Agreement still in force as regards all its members except the National League. We will not respect reservations of players by the National League. While all our people deplore the disagreement which has arisen, yet we feel that self-respect compels us to refuse any longer to be abused by the arrogance of the older Association. We are now as strong as they, and we have the sympathy of the public and of the players. Ours clubs as well as theirs will suffer in pocket, but the side which upholds the right will win.
