The Princeton College club recently played the Trenton Club, for which Devlin is pitcher, and batted him for twenty-two runs. Their playing the Trentons was very injudicious, for they can not now play either a League or an American Association Club, nor yet an American Alliance or League Alliance Club. The Yales and Harvards subsequently played against Princeton, and an effort is being made to show that they, too, are outlawed by the act. This will fail, however, as the ostracism goes only two steps–first, against the club employing an expelled player, and secondly, against any club playing with any such club employing an expelled player.
