Date	Wednesday, December 18, 1889
Text	[from a letter from A. G. Mills] The National Agreement was created at a meeting of the Arbitration Committee held in New York in October, 1883. The draft of that instrument as prepared and submitted by me contained no provision for the exclusive occupancy by a particular club of a particular city, nor for the transfer of a club from one association to another. The clause containing such a provision was added at the instance of the American Association's delegates, pursuant to the unanimous vote of instructions given by that body to its delegates. The clause containing these stipulations was the only addition advocated by any of the delegates and was incorporated in the instrument as the seventh article of the Agreement, which was shortly afterwards ratified and adopted by the unanimous vote of the Northwestern and National Leagues and the American Association.
