[reporting on the NL convention of 12/6/1882] The convention also took important action in the matter of promoting friendly relations with the American Association, inasmuch as they appointed Messrs. Mills, Soden and Day a committee of conference to act in conjunction with a similar committee of the American Association, with a view to agreeing upon some combined action in the matter of recognizing as binding the respective contracts with players of the two associations. They have thrown a veil over the occurrence of the past in this connection, and have agreed to recognize all contracts now made as fixtures, each Association to retain the players of the clubs of each now held. All the players on the black-list, including Pike and Nolan, were forgiven and reinstated. In the cases of Jones, Baker and Gerhardt, while they refused to reinstate them in the League, they decided that they would consider their playing in other clubs as no bar to any League clubs playing matches with the clubs they were attached to.
