| Text | [reporting on the NL meeting of 12/4/1878] The amendments to the League constitution being next in order, each article was read, and adopted as read or amended, as follows: The first, offered by Mr. Hurlbut [sic], was adopted as to an addition to Section 9, Article 5. The following is the rule in full, the part in italics showing the addition: “No game of ball shall be played between a League club and any other club employing or presenting in its nine a player expelled from the League: nor shall any League club that has at any time during the same playing season played a game of ball with any other club employing or presenting in its nine any player expelled from the League.” New York Clipper December 14, 1878 players no longer eligible to be delegates [reporting on the NL meeting of 12/4/1878] The third amendment was... to the effect that no person who is under contract with a club and receives a salary as a ball player shall be admitted to the League meeting as a delegate. For instance: George Wright now holds a seat in the meeting as a delegate for the Providence nine. He receives a salary from that club as a ball-player, and under the amended rule he will not hereafter be entitled to a seat in the meeting as a delegate. New York Clipper December 14, 1878 |
