Text	President Stearns gave utterance to an important opinion a few days ago. It was to the effect that the Detroit Club would not tolerate the unjust guarantee system another year. “The club will come out even the present season,” said Mr. Stearns. “But we don't propose to maintain a first-class club simply for glory. Everything points to the probability that the American Association will return to the percentage system next season, and unless the League does so, I am of the belief that three League clubs will go to the Association. Von der ahe can't stand the guarantee business. It is ridiculous on its face. Clubs like the Browns and Detroits go East and draw from $5,000 to $10,000 into the treasuries of the Eastern clubs and receive a beggarly $65 or $125 per game.
