Text	not the slightest difficulty will occur between Mr. Byrne and Mr. Wiman in regard to these players [Orr and Roseman]. Mr. Byrne is entirely too wise a man to carry this matter into court against the wishes of the majority of the American Association clubs. It is a question of vital important and one that neither Mr. Byrne nor Mr. Wiman can afford to have decided by the court. At present all the base ball law is in favor of the management, and the poor player is knocked about from pillar to post like the poor slave, and has no voice whatever in the matter, but has to abide by the legislation of the management whether it meets with his approbation or not. There is no alternative. It is either do as you are bid or retire from the arena.
