Text	[reporting on the AA special meeting] It was stated that inasmuch as the League refused to have any regard for the expulsion decrees of the American, and continued to hire men banished from its clubs, that no good reason was apparently why it was not just as well for the latter to adopt the same policy. If the disobeying of the rules of the Association was not criminal in the eyes of the League, certainly such alleged offenses by the latter could not be so considered by the former. What was sauce for the goose was sauce for the gander. … The original resolution was amended so as not to include the great black sheep, George Hall, Jim Devlin, Al Nichols and Bill Craver, the Louisville crooks. This was agreeable to all, and the motion was adopted. This action brings into good repute once more Chas. Jones, expelled by the Bostons for refusing to play in 1879, when the club owed him about $600; Alex. McKinnon, by the Troys in the same year, because he signed a contract with that team, and then decided not to play with them; Phil Baker, by the Providence nine in 1881, because after he had agreed to go to theat city he withdrew from the profession and went into business, and Joseph Gerhardt, by the Detroits last year, for the same offense. Also the following men, who were black-listed for various offenses, none of any great degree of criminality: Crowley and Fox, of the Bostons; Dorgan and Houck, of the Detroits; Gross, of the Providence nine; Caskins, of the Troys; Pike and Dickerson, of the Worcesters; and Nolan, of the Clevelands. All of these but Pike and Nolan had been reinstated by the League at their late Philadelphia meeting.
