| Text | A Pittsburg paper has a startling rumor in its capacious grasp that the base ball players are abut to start a protective association in opposition to the eleven men reserve rule. The rumor has not penetrated beyond the smoky confines of that city and has probably no foundation. The Arbitration Committee has provided to meet any such scheme and the fellows who ever attempt to start the “old thing” will wish they had not. The better quality of professionals have no need of a protective association. So far as the Cincinnati Club players are concerned, none will be the losers on account of the reserve rule. Not one man of the present team who remains will be asked to play for less the he gets this year, and some will be paid more. We should like to see a list of the protective fellows when they get organized. Also a diagram of what they intend to do. All who think they can get through the winter without advance money should by all means subscribe. It will amuse them until spring comes, when they will either sign with the club that has reserved them or go to work at something else—cashier in a bank or a brick-yard. Let us organize, by all means. The Sporting Life July 15, 1883, quoting O. P. |
