Text	President Howe, of the Cleveland Base Ball Club, outlines the policy of the clubs composing the League and American Association as follows: “Most of the League and Association teams will be strengthened by . Chicago has already signed 16 men, Philadelphia 20, Boston 15, Cincinnati 16, Allegheny 19, Louisville 15, and St. Louis 21. We shall pursue the same policy and engage a reserve nine of good men. These will be used with the regular field teams for practice games during the month of April. When the season opens, in the absence of the regular nine, the reserve teams will play on the grounds of their respective clubs with amateur and professional clubs not in the Association or League at a twenty-five-cent admission rate. I believe this will prove the correct thing, as the maintenance of will not only serve as a training-school in which to develop good players, but will secure to each club a contingent from which to draw at aty time to fill possible vacancies in the regular team. These can be made self-supporting, and will perhaps earn a surplus.
