| Text | [reporting on the Joint Committee meeting of 10/16] It soon...became apparent that the programme outlined at Saratoga was not acceptable in all particulars, and that probably the whole thing would have to be gone over again. The new National Agreement had been made out in full legal form by the committee, and slips of it had been prepared. A general conference upon the matter was had, and then arose such a series of objections and suggestions that a new report was necessary. From what could be learned it appeared that the graded salary plan met with unexpected opposition, several clubs, said to be the Athletic, New York, Detroit and Boston clubs, being “forninst” it. The Buffalo-Detroit deal had also unsettled matters greatly, and last, but not least, the American Association promptly negatived a proposition to the effect that the players of each body should be completely reserved to the organization as a whole of which the club they are been [sic] playing with was a member. In other words a League player, if released, could only be engaged by another League club unless he received a release from the League as well as his club; American Association players ditto. These are said to have been a few of the many objections made to the original report, and which rendered a complete revision necessary. |
