Text	There is one thing which the stock company organizations must do in self-defence and to conserve their pecuniary interests, and that is to limit the contestants for the professional whip-pennant henceforth to stock-company nines. Too many games were played this past season, and this result was attributable to the entry of such irresponsible nines as the Resolute and Maryland clubs. Clubs which have capital invested in baseball as a business ought not to allow nines to interfere with their contests, which only enter the field on the catch-penny principle or perhaps only to serve betting ring purposes. Co-operative club managers have no control over their players, such as those clubs have which pay regular salaries to their men, and hence such organizations have no remedy at hand against the evil of fraudulent play by the members of their nines.
