Text | The question was asked one of the League magnates recently why it was that the New York League club was allowed to violate the League rule which prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors on any of their grounds. The reply was that when the New York Club entered the League three years ago they stated that they held a contract with the bar proprietor on their grounds which they would have to forfeit if the rule was to be strictly observed. On this account the violation was winked at by the League. Last season the sale of liquors was as open on the Polo Grounds as on an American Association ground. The question is how long did that contract extend? |
