The adoption of the five-mile rule by the American Association leaves the Brooklyn Club in a better position regarding the playing of League teams than it had occupied before. Heretofore no League club could play in Brooklyn without the permission of the New York League Club, but as the case now stands the New York men will have to secure the permission of the Brooklyn Club to play American Association teams in New York, so that if the New York men refuse to allow League clubs to play in Brooklyn the Brooklyn Club will not give the American Association clubs permission to play on the Polo grounds.
