It should be borne in mind that every club joining the National Association has a voice in its council, provided they send a duly accredited representative to the convention or meetings of the Association; but no voting by proxy is allowed. It does not follow–as in the League Association–that every club joining the National Association must necessarily incur the expense and responsibility of entering for the championship; for in the National pennant race for 1880 none will enter the lists except those fully able financially to carry out the season’s appointed schedule. What membership of the National Association gives to all clubs is protection and prestige–protection from the knavery of crooked players and violators of contracts, and the prestige of being members of an established National Association.
