[from Waller Wallace's column] It is a matter of profound regret to me, and so I am sure it is to the several managers, that there are so many players in the above list [of California League teams] under the reserve rule of Eastern organizations, but the rivalry existing between the four cities is so intense and bitter that each manager has been forced to sign the very best material available, with which to cope successfully against opposing teams. Quite a number of these men were at hand within the confines of our State, and once in California they have found it impossible to “break away” from its genial climate and people. Result--”they've come to stay.
