Jim Devlin is now a Philadelphia policeman, a position he was appointed to a few weeks ago. New York Clipper September 30, 1882

a call for cooperation between the NL and AA

An understanding between the two Associations would save many thousand dollars in the matter of salaries alone. As long as this cut-throat policy is continued players are able to dictate their own terms and managers have but to submit to their extortionate demands. We know now of players who have signed contracts whose terms are exorbitant, but who could have received more if they had asked it, rather than to be allowed to go with a club of the rival organization. The line should be drawn somewhere on matter of the salaries, abut it never can be done as long as the associations are fighting with each other. The Philadelphia Item October 1, 1882
