1. The National Association is composed of state associations and of individual clubs in states where there are not sufficient clubs to form associations.

2. That, therefore, clubs belonging to state associations cannot, by any individual action, withdraw from the National Association of Base Ball Players, but must first resign from or sever their connection with state associations in the usual legal and prescribed manner.

3. That it is folly to suppose, much more to declare, that the action of the Olympic Club, of Philadelphia, in joining the National Association of Amateur Base Ball Players, and of the Athletic Club, of Philadelphia, in becoming members of the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players, could either impair the status or rights of the forty-six (46) other clubs belonging to the Pennsylvania State Association, or even dissolve their connection with the National Association of Base Ball Players.

4. That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the secretaries of the three national associations, and that they be published in the New York Clipper and Philadelphia Sunday Mercury.
