| Text | [reporting on the NL meeting] Messrs. Day and Reach were present at the meeting, looking after the interests of the Metropolitan and Philadelphia clubs. They rightly objected to paying League clubs if guarantee of $100 with a privilege of 50 per cent. of receipts before the opening and after the closing of the League season. They offered 45 per cent. of receipts without a guarantee. The League stuck to its terms, however, and it was intimated that if these clubs did any “kicking” the League would leave them to work out their own salvation, and play what clubs they pleased. The Philadelphia Item March 12, 1882 Mutrie says that all the appointed games with League clubs are off for the present unless the clubs should finally into the Metropolitan arrangement as regards terms. As the League clubs have to go to Philadelphia to fulfill their engagements in April with Al. Reach’s League Alliance Club, it is not likely that they are going to throw away hundreds of dollars by passing New York without stopping to play the Metropolitans, merely to carry out an agreement they had no legal right to make. New York Clipper March 25, 1882 Manager Soden has accepted Metropolitan Club terms for the Boston team to play in New York on April 24, 25 and 26, and Harry Wright for his Providence team the same month. They will all come into it before two weeks are over. They are not going to lose a hundred dollars a day for weeks, for mere obstinacy’s sake. New York Clipper April 1, 1882 |
