Text | [reporting the NL meeting of 12/9/1881] The subject of the “black list” was then brought up on motion by Mr. Winship, of Providence. He stated that his Club had felt very sore over the placing of Gross upon that list, and were particularly anxious about securing his removal. That player had shown evidence intention of reforming along in the month of June last season, and it was very unjust to thus handicap him. Then followed a most heated discussion, which lasted for some time. Mr. Winship was considerably enlightened as to the actions of Gross, and greatly to his surprise ascertained that the case had been most carefully covered up by the players and others interested. The delegates insisted that if one mas was placed on [sic: probably should be 'removed from'] the black list they all should be, and if that was done, why the reform intended to have been wrought by the enactment would have been lost. Finally it was unanimously decided to reaffirm the action of the Saratoga meeting, leaving the list the same. |
