Text	We hope to see the Association adopt the “fly-game” in its entirety by eliminating the foul-bound catch from its code. It is all very well to say that the catch in question admits of some very pretty plays; but this is more than offset by its tendency to weakening the batting by increasing the chances for outs. The batsman now has enough to contend with without putting him out on a bound-catch as well as one on the fly. St. Louis Post-Dispatch December 7, 1883 a justification of the reserve The Association holds–with the League–that reserving a player is, to a limited extent, an extension of his contract. Of course, in cases where players are reserved by clubs who have not fulfilled their part of the contract by paying them all arrears of dues, the reserve should be regarded as null and void after a due investigation of the player’s complaint. But in all other respects the rule itself must be either held valid or repealed entirely. St. Louis Post-Dispatch December 7, 1883
