[reporting on the NL convention] The number of called balls was reduced to eight instead of nine, but on what just grounds so limited a reduction was made is not stated. New York Clipper December 13, 1879

playing outside clubs; regional division

[reporting on the NL convention] The matter of the free-trade principle of allowing League clubs to play outside clubs whenever it was to their pecuniary interest to do so was bitterly opposed by the three Western clubs, but was favored by the four Eastern clubs. The pith of the matter was that the Western clubs, not having any outside clubs of prominence to play with the free trade rule would not benefit them, while it would benefit the Eastern clubs greatly, and therefore they opposed allowing the latter to derive a profit from games they themselves would not play.

The Western club, however, agreed to toss a bone to their Eastern brethren by conceding them the right to play outside games before May 1, but not afterwards. New York Clipper December 13, 1879
